I would like advice on ABC props for a said Cheetah.
3 blades?? I've seen Ray Presnell run a ABC 3 blade on a boat but, few people talk about them, just 2 blade props.
1521 1.5D and REvo packs.
Thank you.

Ray, I wonder if one of the 15* rake 3’s would cut it. The 10* old standard ABC props have a lot of lift would likely put the nose into the water. The 17* have the opposite effect but the 15* are not as bad in my experience so far.
Seems to me Tony liked a 50mm prop for a single Cheetah.

1521 1.5Y is only 1050 KV, a little low for 4S on a CAT????

Thanks Larry. Going back to my cave tomorrow or Wed. Selling my P-Shooter, lots to do... car repairs again, yada yada...
Ray, a little late (just bumped into this thread) - If you keep the hull loose/nicely aired out you can run just about any prop - the 1521 1.5D is like a diesel bulldozer motor - mucho grunt. I replaced mine with a somewhat comparable TP Power 4060 (2040KV - sorta close) and have run 450/3 Oct's and for 2-Lap record runs or just for going to "11" the 452/2 without breaking a sweat. I'd give Larry's cut down 450/3's a shot - sounds like a great choice.Keep it loose (no plowing)
Here's the 2040KV TP Power with a fairly stock 447/3:

I am fairly used to those props but thank you for chiming in. I was curious about ABC props specifically.
Just trying to see what I can play with in ABC.
Major brain fart. Big edit, lol...
I use a neu 1521 1860kv with a castle 240 hydra ice along with a x452/3 detongue, lil rake and round ears. Works good on cats with that cut minus the rake on some hulls. The strut height ajustment is the single most important thing.
1916 ABC 17*.....let her rip.....
Thanks Howard. I have a 1915 ABC 17* to try until I can get one.
