Prop reccomendations please

[JimClark]

I am getting into new territory this coming year. I am going to race with Puget Sound Fast electrics in two classes. Problem is I have no idea as to which props to keep an eye out for. Here are the two setups I am am working on.

Vs-1 powered by a UL-1 motor and UL-1 ESC and a REK lower unit and will run a 4s 5000 mah lipo

LSH a Maus Shovelnose 24in long runnign a UL-1, wiredrive and also a 5000mah lipo with either a UL-1 ESc , If I can find a decent deal on one, or
one of these http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store...es_90-100A_ESC

Any prop recommendations? I cant afford to have a huge prop box like some do and want to limit it to two or three for each boat.

What speedo do plan on running in the Maus? I ran a cuda125 in mine, sport not club racing, and I was happiest with an X440 cut down to 38mm. But a V935 does very nice too. If memory serves me anything below 40mm runs that hull well but I bet the range is really between 35mm to 38mm. Its been about a year since mine has gotten wet so maybe someone whose memory is fresher might offer a better recomendation.

The VS-1 should do good with the Octura x442. The Shovel will fly using m440, Grimracer L40 x 57/3 or x442. So maybe I would use the simple x442 in both hulls.

If using the Aquacraft UL-1 ESC be sure to add extra caps.

I can't say about the VS-1 but I run a Prather 215 on my 24" shovel.
