she ran great this morning! aa liitle bumpy, but not bad. ill get a hold of you in the next month for those props, i think they may do it . ill get the new higher c rated lipos (40c) that just came out at hobby king as well and see her fly!!

Glad to hear it's back in the water ... maybe a set of detongued 442's with a bit of cup will do the trick!

Well i got her back in the water with the help of loctite!! I cant believe it... Shes still only doing 66 mph but thats not with matched props.. Just standard 442's..so real soon ill try some of egneg's work of arts to achieve the goal of 70 mph..

Hey cheesehead chuck, you might want a little lighter font, I can't read yellow... How about WHITE??

Kinda subtle huh?

How bout them plastic props? $10 if you lost both drives

I have an inline drive on my 27" Geico cat and I can't believe how many times I have saved disaster, between under-tighting the coupler to broken wire drive (I have since softened the curve and am fine). Pretty cool when all you have to do is fix the broken part instead of having to replace everthing

You will get it licked, eh?

IM SORRY TO YOU AND ALL THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THE PROP! WICH BRINGS ME TO THIS. I WAS THINKING IF YOU TOOK THE X442'S DETOUNGED THEM AND ADDED JUST A LITTLE PITCH TO THEM IM THINKING THAT MIGHT BE THE KEY.. WHAT DO YOU THINK? see andi did the same thing but they were 447's to begin with and the hubs are bigger ..( he also back cut them).. i like the smaller hubs as its less mass to spin .

The added mass has it's greatest affect when you change rpm's ... once you are up to speed it helps to keep the rpm's more consistent. As far as the 442's with more pitch goes only testing will give you the answer and also the tips could be cupped a bit to narrow the thrust cone.

Yep! I'm using the 603 Loctite too and have never had a shaft come loose! The beauty of it is how easy it is!

Ever since I went to the red permanant loctite, I have not had a single drive fail. I have busted some wires, but unrelated to joining wire to stub. I would bet if you went to the loctite and threw out all that solder crap, you would be a happier boater.

Slipped from the coupler??? Dude, mega

hmmm I would like to know if these would work also...maybe use the 5/32" for .250 flex shaft..wonder if it would cause some balance issues?

I use one on my .062 wire drive with no apparent issues but it is quite small.
