    prop questions need help

    What's the difference in an octura x645 and m645? Also how would either work on a stock mg and would I be able to use still with a 150esc and 2200 lepard motor? Thanks for the help

    m645 is detongued. it's a good bit of pitch. A m445 would be a better choice for either motor IMHO.

      Would it be a better prop with the upgrade? My biggest problem is I want to upgrade my prop I ordered a prather 220 but I. Have no clue on how to balance it. I want to buy one already blanced and the only one available from ose is a m645. I was gonna have chuck do one for me but he's atleast 2 weeks out

        Is this for 4s or 5s on the stock motor?

        Reason being you can run a m445 stock on 4s and do fine, but a m445 on 5s will blow the stock esc. Not sure how that 150amp esc would do. I assume it's a suppo, may work ok though. A grim 42x55 is a GREAT all around prop for the MG on 4s and 5s on the stock power also a x642 is a choice as well.

        Stock motor: (4s)
        x442
        x642
        grim 42x55
        m445

        Stock motor: (5s)
        x440
        m640
        x442
        x642
        grim 42x55
        x440/3
        grim 40x52/3


        Leopard 2200:
        x440
        m640
        x442
        x642
        s215
        s220
        x445
        m445
        grim 42x55



        The CF series props can work until you get your other props S&B, they have the same pitch as the Octura x4 series props:

        Stock 4s:
        CF42
        CF45

        Stock 5s:
        CF40
        CF42

        Leopard:
        CF45

            642 that is... from what I read seems to be the best starter prop. Do you notice a big difference over stock with that prop

              A M445 has a bigger radius with less pitch then the X642? Is it faster on stock setup?

                    Hey Diesel,
                    Would the props you listed for for the Leopard 2200 work for the CC 1515 2200KV? Thanks.

                      they sure would... I would say a grim 42x55 and the m445 would be the top choices... The motor can swing a bigger prop then that, but any bigger I think the hull my not like...

                        I will try both when we lose our ice. Thank you for the suggestions.
