    CNC Props

    I hate balancing and sharpening props....
    Never liked it, never will.......
    Don't like the fact that the material they are made of can have ill side effects on your health is precautions aren't taken.


    This year I ordered everyone of these (except for the 70mm prop):

    http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...+3+Blade+Props

    I like the fact that they are "plug and play" (pretty much). Plus, they are pretty inexpensive.

    I use them on everything so far from my P Hydro to my T Cat and T Mono with really good results.

    Steve stocks a lot of 2 bladed ones as well. I haven't tried those yet but plan to.

    I was talking with Monica at TFL and she commented that TFL makes those props.

    She sent me some pics of some of the others (they make lots of other props not pictured)

    Just bringing up an alternative that may appeal to some people out there like me (lazy)

        In your opinion, how do they compare to a good s/b prop of equal size and pitch?

            36 inch Sprintcat with twin 1717 motors snapped them like twigs. I have had good luck with them on spec class setups. BG

                Personally I worry about throwing a blade! I think these are better suited for sport setups, 35,000 rpm and below.

                  Guess I was lucky, tried a 1450 from Zippkits on my JAE 21, didn't like the speed, but I won't do it again now that I have a faster motor--don't want any mishaps.
                  Too many boats, not enough time...

                    Run them on my T Cat, T Mono, and several P Boats, each in the 30K range....not one "thrown" blade.

                    What the heck are you guys running in?

                      If I were to run them, they'd be in my HPR and EKOS. Both of which are spinning in the 45,000 -50,000 rpm range. Another reason why most of my props are stainless steel.

                            I did a D/T'ing on a x450 CNC prop at the nats and it was perfect for P-offshore, ran really nice. HOR doesn't sell them anymore, should have bought several when I could get them for peanuts.

                              Run a 52mm Cnc prop on a 40" delta MKII. 1717 1600 kv on 6s. No problems, and it rips!
