8XL in my Geico

[M.M.]

Okay guys, well i have a MG on the way and im going to put my Fiegao 8XL, and HiModel 200A ESC in it. As far as set-up goes is there any tips or tricks i need to know? But my main question is what prop do i need? I was thinking a x645, but im not very good at picking props. Oh and btw im just running for fun, no racing. And i will most likely be running it on 4s. The HiModel i have is already waterproofed, but not water cooled. If anyone thinks this will be a problem, would having a fan blow on it help?

Thanks

Any ideas on props???

x645 maybe push your motor to the limit (temp issues)
x442 for fun and x642 for more speed. In my MG i have good results with x440/3 on 4s

What motor are you running with the x440/3? I'm not too familiar with props yet, but do the 3 blade props act differently than the 2 blades? How does the x440/3 compare with the x442 and x642??

Thanks for the help!!!

I have a neu 1415 2200kv with a swordfish 200amp esc. Today with x440/3 hit 45.7mph on 4s and on 5s same prop 49.6mph

X440/3 is the faster prop i have tried so far.

Sweet, thanks man. I guess I'll be trying my first 3 blade
