    Just to be clear.. a 3 blade prop just by mere number of blades does not cause it to make more lift.

    Blade rake, pitch and profile do however.

    The important thing about selecting a prop for you boat (FE boat that is) is not over amping the electronics. Having said this we also want good handling and speed (note I added speed second cus to me it’s useless without handling)

    With props its (buy and try).. I can however say that the 36X55 grimracer prop works very nice on the Gunslinger.

        Dealer web site still says late April so I imagine they are. Early June worst case scenario.

                Not sure when the video is coming out. I did see a proof of it yesterday so it must be close. This boat is really fun to run.. Is it 40mph? Na.. but it dont need to be for good old side by side racing.

                  OK,already. I'm hooked. I want one. Maybe it won't be the latest race class to be sanctioned BUT I can already envision myself and Mike (TheShaugnessy) doing the max-fun side-by-side thing around the Legg buoys. Some of the best times I've ever had were days like that when a few of us did exactly that on a Sunday afternoon for pure grins.

                  That's what it's all about when you bottom-line it anyway

                    Tony I have two on the way as soon as they are available, should I put your name on the other one? It would be sweet if I got my hands on one before the 4th

                    I'm not expecting a 40 mph boat. The ponds out here aren't quite big enough.

                      I just got back from the pond.. I am getting a Gun ready for the Joe Nall event in a few weeks.. Regardless.. your going to be putting in some down trim on the pads and testing battery locatons but.... dang... that boat runs nice, turns on a rail.. I giggle ever time i run the thing.... (3300mah packs for me)

                              you beat me to it, i just came across it. I'm impatiently waiting for a box from gp. I see they are in stock in Illinois, I'm hoping the west coast isn't far behind. Video looks sweet, i like the Fpv footage. I have a 5650 1800 and a matching esc. Do you think i can keep it on the water with a 4s p-ltd power system .

                                The boat is very light (had to be to work with our power sytem) BUT.. its worth a shot.

                                The video is OK. I would have liked a bit more action but overall its OK.. with more tuning the boats REALLY handle well. unlike other Cboxes i have setup and ran (and seen ran) this one does not blow off as easy OR roll over as easy.. Its a HOOT on choppy water!
