hey kfxguy... did anyone mention during all the Voracity talk which prop would be good to use
It comes with an x645 on it. Which it a pretty dang good prop. I would:
1) detounge the prop and sharpen and balance it (it doesn't come sharpened from the factory)
Or
2) run an octura m645 that's s/b
Also a abc 1815-17-45 may be a good candidate for it but I'd wait if I were you because I'll be testing many props on it when mine comes in.

The stock prop is equivalent to an Octura x645. This is the max size/pitch prop we recommend for 6s, with the stock ESC, or it will simply shut down after maybe a minute of running. I had them program the ESC to cut voltage if the motor requires more amperage with the stock prop, on 6s. This will save plenty of people time in calling in to request a replacement ESC, and HH money on replacing it. The fun is on the water, not waiting on the phone. The only ESC we managed to burn up during all our testing was one with timing set at 15*. I believe the tester said he got over 65 before it melted down, before 1 minute of run time.
It's a 52, mph boat, stock. If anyone requires more speed, there are plenty of aftermarket ESC that will help provide that. Just putting that out there.
If I remember right, Darin reported running a 447/3 on 4s and had very good results with it.
If anything else on 6s, I'd say a well tuned prop of no more pitch and diameter than the stock prop will yield very good results, while makimg the system more efficient.

Again, thanks for the quick and insightful response.
