These are listed as 3mm but they do fit

Hey guys, I'm getting one of these bad boys and I'm wondering if I can order any spare props for these from this site?

Mini Cats states
32mm diameter x 45mm pitch x 4mm shaft

And this site has some stuff similar just don't know if anyone has tried different size with good luck.

I have tried the black ones from OSE as well as the 1/8" plastic from octura (OSE site).

I mostly run on 2s, and any of them work well. On 3s I tend to stick with a 31 or 32mm prop I think.

The 27mm wouldn't push it up on plane, 30mm was difficult, 31 worked well for me. For a few bucks, get some spares!

Thanks guys, I'm planing to running 1800/2150mah 25c 3s in this boat. I don't want to spend the bucks for the metal Octura props yet. But are these my only choices on this site?

All good bro, I'm aware of that. When I place a large order from this site "including my other props for my other boats" I'd like to get something that would work for these boats also.

[sailr]

No worries. Just didn't want you to think we didn't support what we sell.

The prop on the boat is a 1.4 x 32 , 4mm shaft. OSE should have what you need. You can also

None of those props will work. The Velocity has the drive dog system, not threaded shaft. I have looked at OSE and don't see a prop on there that will work. His drive dog Graupners are all too big.

Kinda quiet out here I guess we can just make it like always and dig and scratch out what works and what doesn't work like the old Super V , and Hydro days

You're asking about the battery? Physically just about anything will fit. Their website recommends a 3S 11.1V 1500-2100mAh Lipo Battery. I'm using a 172 gram battery in that range and it does not self-right. maybe I just have to move it closer to the drive line...

[FinzUp]

OK thanks but, are you talking self righting about the mono or cat? As 2 of us that work together just got the Cats. We have found much about the Hydros as they have been out there for 2 + yrs and mostly new stuff about the Mono's but, the Cat's are like a dark horse.
Thanks

Oh, right... I found this thread searching for the Velocity but i didn't realize there was a Velocity Cat... I thought the Velocity was only a mono. And I didn't read your post too thoroughly. Sorry 'bout that.

[sailr]

You have to tape the OUTSIDE of the hatch for the Velocity Mono to be self righting. The Velocity CAT is not self righting regardless of what you do. Unlike flood chamber boats, (like the Mini ECO), the self righting has nothing to do with weight distribution. Its a factor of the high profile rounded hatch on the mono.
