    when you don't know how to balance :try a graupner carbon prop or a cnc prop and be surprised

    using 40 mm gaupner k-prop in my geico with stock motor on 5s :they cost about 3€ /4$ and are very good :-)

      See picture in post#68, that is how the ProBoat prop is after balanced/polished/sharpened(thinned).
      I agree that if you have not done this before, get a Graupner K-prop. If you are running everything stock with 4s, you can get a 42mm prop, even a 44mm can be tried.

        I am probably gonna stick with the stock prop because I already got one. I just need a prop balancer.

          any prop balancer will work,I personally use du bro true spin balancer, when you balance just take material off the rear of the blade as the front gives you the thrust, prop I suggest is the prather 220 even the 225 these are harder props to balance as the material is harder but they also fair better if you hit something in the water also if you want to take the time you can make these props thinner so making them lighter as they are made out of stainless steel. When you have the prop balanced the blades should stay in the same place, then you turn the prop 180 deg and it should do the same if it moves then its not balanced so you will have to remove material from the blade that moves to the bottom, once you have it just so you will be good to go. If your not sure what your doing I suggest you buy one balanced from either here at offshore or from a guy on here who goes by the nick of dasboata his work is top shelf.

                To polish the prop, I used a combination of of my Dremel with the scotchbrite type wheel, 800 grit sandpaper and finally the felt disc in my dremel with some jewelers rouge. Its a work in progress, but its coming along nicely. The stainless prop material is much harder than a beryllium prop, and takes considerably longer to work.

                  Dremel works great for polishing, but I'm a big fan of nevr-dull polish in the can.
