The upgrade 40x57/3 I believe is a lifter prop and when I tried a V940/3 also a lifter prop it turned into a submarine.
I had the submarine experience with the 40X50/3 also, [ with some fairly heavy Elite 2S 4800's]. Switching to a Bar cut X442 got 'er going pretty good. I've re-adjusted the strut & just got some smaller & lighter Elite 35C 5000's inside now & will try the M445 today. How were your temps ?
