First Runs - New 42" Thunder Tiger Outlaw OBL

[Visual Perfection]

Well went out tonight..bad night

First run out I broke my new S/B x442 prop..not sure how but needless to say I am not happy as that was money right down the crapper.




So I threw the stock prop back on and ran that for a run..I can tell it's drawing too many amps for my setup as things got hot, but hey I wanted to get a run in and it ran good and I had a few minutes of fun time.



didn't get a chance to change timing or do any tuning due to storms moving in quickly...so not a successful night but at least I got a few minutes of play time.

Looking towards the water wasn't too bad..





But the thunder and lightning moving in from behind had me packing up and leaving.





And I decided to get one of the bad weather moving in with my other toy

In the first vid it sounds like you blew your prop right at 0:12..............there's a hiccup in the motor.................then slo w e r ................

Yes that's a GTO..that is my real money pit..I keep telling myself the boats are to keep me from spending money on the car lol. and yep you can hear when the prop blew...rpm's / motors sound changed and then once I got off plane it was all over..I was bummed out as it was only my 3rd lipo ran through it with that new prop...never gonna get an aluminum prop again

Didnt know it was aluminum...............................big No NO in FE basically. Go with Octura's................you bend 'em up.........then bend 'em back!

Ya I bought it off one of the members who was selling props on here and took a chance knowing it was aluminum. Figured I needed to be careful and not "knick" anything with it, and I was, but I guess just the water itself was too much for it. Wish I wouldn't have bought it now as I really am trying not to spend any money on boats with a baby on the way and now I need another prop again.

How are the Prather Stainless props as far as strength? I am waiting to hear back on a prather 220 that I might be able to pick up...I really want another x442 as that was working perfect for me plus I can use it on my Fastech once it is up and running again.
