    I am on the list twice. Ditch the 66.6 (bad number anyway) and keep the 68 mph on stock electronics, OSE shaft, x447's and SMC 5000 50C 11.1 x 4 lipos Thanks

      Yup, thanks. Just need to find some props with more pitch, which ABC doesn't make in reverse rotation. Honestly, I think I'm in the realm of cutting my own props down. The motors I am using love to rev, but can get bogged down by the wrong prop quite easily.I may cleaver some 447s and see what happens.

        Seems the 447's are the "sweet prop" for this boat, stock or mod electronics.

          For the 6 pole D wound motors, yes. The stock, Impulse 31 and Voracity motors run great with them. 4 pole Y motors don't seem to like them; at least not 2200kv motors. Also, they really are the only props around that size that come in L and R hand.

            The fastest props so far on stock electronics is ABC 1715's on Gohan's and 1814's on mine. I went 76 and Gohan went 75.

            Not sure if I have the 76 on video but here's some close

              Can you update mine.

              Stock electronics
              Revo 3s 5500 packs in series
              Sharpened rudder
              Polished flex shafts


              Suggestion. Arrange from fastest to slowest.

                Gohan's setup was:
                MPH: 75
                Stock motor
                Stock ESC
                Revolectrix GOPacks 5000mah 3s 70c way up front
                ABC 1719*17-45 Props S&B by kfxguy
                rudder sharpened, struts all the way down, shafts polished and lubed with Amsoil Lithium Racing grease.

                Keagan, I don't believe Gohan is on the list. I copy and pasted that info from his thread that had a GPS shot as well.

                Whoops. Lol. My bad. I'll fix that. Gohan's is 1715's and mine are 1814's. Good catch.

                  Man, Keagan has some work to do.... The ABC1915s on mine are Dasboata props. Batts are 4 3s Revolectrix 435 silver labels. Havent had time to rebuild and run the Go-packs yet.

                    Yes he has 1715-17-45.....I sold them to him.

                      Updated fellas! This list should get some guys off their lazy boy!

                      Travis: I'll sort the list in due time since other members are now taking notice of it. I have some Dasboata X447s coming so my measly 60.5 should go up some.

                        Hey Keagan, here's my update

                        I got a quick run in tonight with a set of Dasboata X447 that he cut down to 45mm that I bought here on OSE.

                        Yellow boat ran 70.1!!!
                        All stock gear
                        Batts.... don't laugh, Qty 4 of Lectron Pro 5200, 50c
                        Struts are set at 4mm that Rafael suggested.

                        I'll try and run it again this holiday weekend and get some video if possible.

                            Good job! I've had a feeling 45mm is the right size aftermarket prop to push the boat efficiently with the stock system. I've been meaning to cut down an extra set I have but haven't found time to do so.

                              I guess that's kinda why I've stick with the 1814's (45mm) because 74-76mph stock ain't too shabby.

                                Did 65.5mph today with Dasboata x447s. The front is bouncing, I dropped it 1mm, same thing. I think gradually easing into it may help as these props seem to generate more lift than my x447s I detounged. Will make another attempt as I believe more is in her.
