Might try an X460-3 on my 1/8th scale hydro Miss Bud. Using a SF 300 esc and Leapard 5698 (835kv) on 10s. Boat was scratch build and come in at about 20 lbs ready to run.

The prop was prepared by Dasboata and was 'cut back slightly'. Looks nice, just don't want to burn up the esc...

Best prop so far is a de tongued X457-2. (max speed of 55-56 mph pretty consistently)

Do you think the esc will go boom? Just trying to see how much speed I can get out of it.

Will stick with something like the X457-2 to go round and round.

Thoughts?
