      No need too. They are already sharp.

          I can't remember if I tried that prop. I have one tho. We sat down and kept swapping props one day to find out it did best with the 51mm graupner. I know that's frigging huge for this boat but I think the reason why is the 6 pole 1500kv proboat Is low rpm with a lot of torque

            Looks like I'll be ordering some of those carbon props when I get home!

            I am also going to call the place I ordered the x435 prop from and see if I can cancel the order.

              The 45mm prop is out of stock on that site and on another site it says it's discontinued.

                I'll check when I get home from work. I think I have a few.

                        OK thanks. So just stick with the regular prop nut?

                        Also, I want to order those carbon props. What sizes do you recommend me getting since the 45 is out of stock.

                          Regular lock nut is fine. I'd get a 42, 48 and 51 and try those. On higher voltage it's gonna like the 42. On lower voltage, bigger.

                            Well I don't plan on running it on 2s, it's just too slow haha.

                            So on a 3s, it will like a small one like a 40?

                            Anything else you recommend me getting? Does anyone make a metal rudder?

                              I'm getting the feeling your not listening to me very much. 40mm is too small for that low of rpm. If you going to run 3s, get a 48. Quit worrying about running a small prop unless you change the motor and run a higher kv

                                Sorry I must have been confused.

                                So if I'm only going to be running a 3s, what other sizes should I get besides a 48? Maybe a 51?
