    Are you running 4s? The Horizon support team claims the stock prop is actually pitched for 6s running, so it's a little under-propped on 4s power. If you're running 6s, the stock prop is the tallest you can run, and it's already a stretch.

    I sharpened and balanced my stock prop and ran almost 60 mph on the stock motor and ESC.

    I detounged the stock prop sharpened and balanced it and cupped the tip's. on 6s the boat ran awesome! I did not have a GPS or radar to get any speed data but mid 50 is not a stretch. (It's always nice to hear some one on the beach yell! Holly crap look at that boat go)
    I'm interested in trying different props as well so I'm subscribed.
