my new carbon fiber cheetah!

[tiqueman]

I gettm from tfl larry. It was from me.

[kfxguy]

I was just about to say I got it from tiqueman. I have a 45mm cnc I got from ose and compared the two. I can tell the 1.9 pitch one is definitely more aggressive.

Went ran it today. I tried a few different props and strut heights/angles and battery placement. I ended up with an octura m445 that I worked. On 4s it ran really good and lasted a good while. On 6s I had to move the batteries forward because it blew over about 4 times. Only one time did it land on its lid. All other times it landed right side up which was cool. It would not turn at full speed on 6s at all. I think my servo is just to weak. All in all I had fun. Ill post videos shortly and you guys tell me what you think.

[kfxguy]

Heres right at first on 6s. Cant keep it down lol

Heres after I moved the batteries up front. The batteries were half worn down or more at this point. It goes dead in this video

Looks like maybe a little too far forward, when you let off of it the nose goes way down and the boat almost comes to instant stop.

That way I have really good brakes! Lol

I know.....my prop angle is too much. It like it that way on 4s but doesn't like it on 6s. I'm going to have to find a happy medium. Next thing is an x447/3 prop and some better batteries.

[kfxguy]

So.....how fast does it look like its going?

I'm gonna say maybe a little over 50, but there's still a lot left in it.

What should I try next?

do you have a 437/3 already? reason i ask is cause i ordered a 447/3 and was sent a 437 by mistake so i have one and don't really have a use for it.

437 is way too small for me lol. I have a 447/3 that came in Friday. Just gotta work it.

[TheShaughnessy]

yeah 437 is too small but i thought i read that, maybe you were talking about the 447/3 the whole time. the /3 can play tricks with your eyes.

447/3 should be a good step up from a 445, Should help with the torque roll, only time will tell if the hull likes it.

I finished the prop up last night. I have another set of 3s packs coming from spc with a higher c rating and capacity. I'm Aldo picking up a new x4 hitec charger from my hobby shop this week so I can have more batteries charged faster. I have two 4s setups and I'll have 2 3s setups for next weekend. I've got about half a dozen octura props in my cart right now at ose trying to decide which ones I'm gonna get to try. I found a larger lake to run in next weekend also. I can't wait!

Tony is running a 447/3 prop on 4s and he claims it runs good so I guess I'm going to find out if it works for me also. I was thinking vs out buying another one and cutting it like an "m" series prop. Before I pull the trigger on s bunch of different props I'm going to try the 447/3 one first.
