What do you think about a octura v947/3?

Hi, Howard I have a leopard 4082 1500kv 6s 5000 mAh in my genesis, I'm new to the boats and I'm lost in that the motor timing???? and prop

If that is an Octura 2047 prop I do not think you will like it. I have used that prop on several riggers and hydros, and even then it needs some work. The 2047 has a LOT of lift, far more than the low-lift Prather props you have been using. You can add cupping to reduce the lift, but that prop will still probably drive the bows down hard. Try it if you want, but don't expect miracles.

thanks for the info on the strut angle Howard i have a 32 and im gonna try your angle, i run it on 5-6s with a 2000kv motor and it hard to keep glued down

Before you make a adjustment check how many mm you are. If you would tell me how many mm you are. Your cog will change with the new angle.

Did you buy it finished from someone? Or was it a raw prop?

I just did a balance and a sharping. The problem was that 1 blade had the weight of 2. I'm no pro with props i can just do the basic. I know i need to clay the prop to check the shape or something like that. I will try this 2047 and if is off then i will get a pro.

Killer...I would run it twice or 3 times to see where you were. Yes, GPS can glitch but doubtful. I just would make sure and do another run or two to verify.

That is smokin'!!!!

[wparsons]

Wow!....................

I got that ABC prop and went for a run this morning but no vid, wife was sleeping. When i brought it in i was shocked. I was thinking this gps had a glitch. I don't really like this abc it was to far off balance, maybe i just got a bad prop. I just ordered a 2047 so ill check this 1 out. I want to thank all the guys for helping with finding a prop. Fluid i might get with you on a custom prop later. Thanks!

OK, now how I set prop angle. I put my cat on a flat piece of wood with the prop off (prather). Take a piece of 7/32 tubing 5" 1/2 long and slide up to the dog drive. From the rear sponson i measure 12" 1/2 to the end of the tubing. Now measure between the low part of the tubing and the wood. I like to be between 2.5 mm to 3.0mm. I don't know how other guys perform this setup but this is what works for me.

Howard, to avoid confusion those are Prather propellers, not Panthers. Don't want someone to search in vain for Panther props. They are currently being supplied to the industry by Hyperformance Products.

The Prathers are very 'similar' to the Octura "X" series props, and Octura was not happy being copied. But they are not actually identical, having different pitch ratios - most around 1.5:1. I use both brands, the 230 and 235 are particularly useful on many 4S race boats. Their stainless construction makes them harder to work but they are less prone to bending in use. Many Octura props need to be hardened to prevent bending in use, especially if they are thinned too much.
