TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro: P-Sport Hydro

[Jlov]

Not sure now what size you guys are suggesting. What about this prop from OSE?


Product ID: octsb-x646/3
Octura x646/3 Sharpened & Balanced
In Stock: 2


Diameter: 1.81" (46mm)
Total Pitch: 1.6x1.81=2.896"
Shaft Size: 3/16"

This propeller is sharpened, balanced and thinned to increase performance over a raw or poorly prepared propeller.

Because of the time & labor required to balance these, they are often out of stock. We suggest clicking the "add watch" button, when the item comes back instock you will receive an email.

I'MO the 1.6 pitch with 46mm is pretty aggressive, I may be wrong, but you are on 5s spiining a 2200kv... just saying

I try and always use my trusty Graupner 'K" props to try and establish a safe baseline for heat vs run time vs handling.

They are inexpensive and you don't have to really do anything to them but bolt them on and run. Personally if I were running a 2200kv motor on 5S, (40ish thousand rpm unloaded) I would start with a K45. Run for about a minute and bring it in and make sure everything is happy. My best settings on both my p spec and p sport are with the strut set so high that its almost touching the bottom of the hull. It seems to air the boat out nicely. (I modded the strut to allow for extra adjustment).

Right now on my p sport, I'm getting decent speed and temps with a K51....seems to run easier on the electronics than the 3 bladed 50mm CNC prop.

Thx Doby. Just did a Google search and can not see where to purchase the Graupner K 45. Do you have a link to them? Also are they carbon fiber? Jeff

Lol thx Tim. Geez they are only $6. Can't go wrong with that price

[Jlov]

I ordered a K45 and K48 and will give them both a try. I ran the Popeye today will be uploading a video tommo from a on board camera I bought from Hobbyking.

[Jlov]

Well heres the video its a little shaky at times. The camera was only $20 from Hobbyking and guess you get what you pay for.
