    Try a CF42, maybe even a CF45 the 45 maybe to big though. I have a x642 on my MG right now, haven't put it in the water yet though. Still have to do some work on it before she gets wet.

        Sweet, any 5s runs yet? We all know it can handle it & I know I am itching to try it.

            I didn't have my gps with me, but it was a noticeable difference in speed over the stock prop.

                    I got 36.7 on my 642. And 35mph on my 442. After I get rid of the bouncing problem I have a Prather 215 I'd like to try out.

                      so what is it you guys are doing to get rid of the bouncing problem. tried strut height/angle and cog and never could loose the bounce. it seemed better with the strut all the way down. running a grim 42x55

                          It ran well, better than stock. But I didnt get a gps number on it. Left the gps at the dock by mistake.

                            One thing the hub is a bit long on a graupner 2317.45 and 2317.48 prop. So I had to move the drive dog to get it to fit.

                              Still trying to fix the problem myself. Have tried esc change, battery change, weight added, srtut, prop, still nothing yet.
