    I do not have anypics of the prop trying to fit on, I will try and get some today. What where some of the issues with the electric KOS? I've read nothing but good things about the FASTech as well, I'm just not the biggest fan of Proboat and I've heard mixed reviews of the Widowmaker. One thing I noticed in all the vids of the FASTech is how stable it looks in the water at top speed, widowmaker seems to bounch around alot. I do like the single battery operation on the WM though.

      I'll give it a try without over torque. The nut maybe able to sit flush and maybe a little locktight will help.

            If you can get the nut to sit flush it will work fine...

                  I'm not sure if locktight works with this because it has a plastic insert..

                  I would'nt worry about it, I don't use any and I have not lost a prop!

                    I meant to try my a s220 but totally forgot about that prop..
                    best speed was the CF48 on 3s and that only got me 19mph..

                    I'm going to try a Team Orion Revolution 13x1 on 2s with the y535 and see how that works

                    RIO has a 1/8 shaft dia?

                      I think the prop does?

                            You can use a brass pipe 2 sizes and make a adaptor to fit the 3/16 CF props.
