1450 Mod prop - anyone use one ?

[properchopper]

I just bumped into a vendor offering a 1450 "Mod" prop B&S ; looks like it might be a good P-Sport Hydro candidate

46.5 mm ; 2.75 pitch

Anyone have actual experience with one ? LMK

Thanks,
Tony

I have one. I like it a lot. It's been on a JAE21FE and a Rigged Insanity

Thanks Danny. Are you using it with a spec setup ? Any lift issues ?

Both the 1400 and 1600 series can be delifted to match the lift of an X prop. Because of the different distribution of blade area nearer the tips when compared to the X, these props can harness motor power better - if you have the power. I run a cupped 1650 on my Q Sport hydro with good results. I use a Grim 42x66 on my FE-30 P Limited, delifted I prefer it to the m445 as it seems to handle a bit better and is a tad faster.

If hull is not too heavy I keep thinking the ABC 1816-10-50 (3 blade, 45.72mm, 2.880" pitch) would be a good prop using the UL-1 motor/esc in P SPORT HYDRO. Tony, How much does your insane 30" weigh RTR?

I have also been wanting to try the ABC 1816/3 prop in my UL powered Raptor Rigger.

Thank you for the information Jay.

The JAE was not a spec setup, but the Insanity was.

I have a cut down Sholund 1450 I have used in the Spec JAE but the two H7's I have (Sholund and Andy Brown) are a couple mph faster.

I have tried a ABC 1714 in my Spec FE30 (UL1 motor and controller). The boat was a rocket but the motor was pushing 140 after four laps. ABC props will put much more load on the motor than a Octura X and M series with similar numbers.

Us Spec controller guys cant go much bigger than a 42x55 or 442 without

Yes it is and it was flat in the straights and the turns.

My spec FE30 fully rigged with a UL1 motor & speedy weighs 4.1 lbs (minus battery)

My P-Sport FE30 fully rigged with Neu 1515 & T-180 weighs 6.38 lbs (minus batteries & prop)

Tony, Thanks for answering and correcting me on the class.

BTW my P-Sport Whiplash fully rigged with Castle 1515 & Hydra LV 240 weighs 5.6 lbs (minus batteries & prop)

Yup, the Whip's are light ! But actually, I've been racing in gasserwater ( last race we followed three heats of those monstrous gas Thunderboats) and with
2 X 4S 4000's the extra weight helps keep it on the water in the slop. In fact Mark F turned me on to a tip : put some weight ( I use @ 8 oz. in the left sponson) to keep the sponson from lifting when my rather agressive race props hit hard.

I have the same prop...got it for my JAE21 (waiting for paint), and thought about trying on my FE-30. If you run it, let us know...and it was only 12 bucks!

I have a total of 4 ozs (2oz in each sponson tip). I will try 4 more ozs on the left sponson and two Thunderpower 4s 4000mah packs.

Thanks!

Sorry about that Chuck, I was mistaken. It was the tunnel that's not spec.

Had practice at Joe's (Questtek) today and Allen just so happened to showup with a 1450 Mod. Was tuning my P-Sport FE30 for Sunday's race in Camarillo so first I did some laps with a stock S&B H-5; then the 1450. The 1450 (seat of the pants ONLY) ran fine-no *ss hop; a teeny bit slower but me likey ! Will order a few - the "guys" will probably want some too. Thanks for all the input. Oh BTW, I'll give it a try on my Spec FE 30 when time allows.

I just ordered one myself, it ran much better than the 1640 I had on it.
