Ok guys I have been doing alot of testing lately with different props, positioning of strut and batteries. I am getting a littl frustrated right now with this. My best speed with my geico is 58 mph. That was with a x442 prop runnin 3s 4400 40c x2 in series for 6s. My motor is a 4074 1400kv leo and esc is a sk 180. When I made this run the strut was about 1 to 2 degrees negative and batteries were sitting 1/4 inch off the rear of the trays. This did not seem like a good setup but was awesome in my video that I posted, no porposing at all. Everything was real cool so I tried the next prop up,445. It slowed down to 53. Not what I was expecting, great out of the hole though. Okay so I thought maybe the diameter to big so i will try 640, A little better at 54. This is crazy, this prop should be like the 442. So then I put on a 642, this should really wake it up, it actually was slowest at 51. WTH is going on, i dont get it. Alright now im getting mad, so I put a pranther s225, this prop should make this boat scream. First run it was porposing again so I put the strut down to 0 degrees, better but still only getting 54. This prop made it quick as hell but not faster and still porposing a little. I should be able to attain 60 with the equipment I have, im just gettin a little frustrated here
Any suggestions out there would real help. Darin if you read this what do you think, is 1400kv to low to get to 60, maybe i need that 1800 leo.
