I would say 30-35 is about in-line. The most impessive part is the acceleration!!!! Instant speed.

What ESC did you switch to? I will need to get a new one for my old Mini. The office sold me a new Mini and is also sending my old one back with it!

Have a stock one and put a 435 prop on it - haven't tried it yet. Will let you know.

435 prop is excellent on the Minimono. It gets up on plane much faster (instantly actually) and the speed is noticeably faster. (Sorry no GPS because it wont fit in that little hull) Temps in cold spring lake water were: Motor 68, ESC 80 and battery was at 100 and change. The piano wire did let go once but I just re-soldered it and it has been good since.

sounds like a x632 could kick some tail on this little mono!

Are you running 2s or 3s?

[bluznbeers]

It only runs on 3s

How do you like the performance? I just purchased a TFL X430 for my Minimono.
Very nicely made little metal prop.
I'm using stock motor and 20a esc.

Reviving an old thread for those who may be interested.
When my TFL X430 arrived I didn't like the fit on the drive dog so I never tried it. Recently I purchased a few props from Doctorprops to try on various boats including a detounged stainless steel 32mm Naviga 2 blade. His props are beautifully crafted and this one fits the stock Minimono driveshaft perfectly. I'm hoping for a bit more speed with less amp draw from this prop.

Reviving an old thread once again... I decided to revive my Minimono. My son had fried the ESC from using it in salt water, so I replaced it with a Hobbywing 30A watercooled one. Motor is stock. My son managed to freeze the motor from corrosion, but I managed to bring it back to life. Bought a 30mm 1.4 CNC and an Optura X432 for it to try out, bought a 1/8 bullet nut and sharpened the turn fins. We will see how it runs. May need to get me another micro FE to race my son!

Just put a 3219 Oxidean marine prop on mine too much for it, when I go to full throttle in comes out of the water like football thrown by an NFL quarterback lol going to prop down to 3019 I think will be the ticket for me.
