Lol, you missed #8, and #10

Sorry I didn't see post 12. Thanks for the link, and no I haven't ever worked an rc prop so I'm sure there's a learning curve. Is there anyone here that does prop work?

Technically you can have the prop spinning either direction. all you have to do to change the motor direction is swap 2 of the motor leads around and run the appropriate prop.

You will also need a flex for opposite turning or the flex will unravel

I'm going to be running the normal single set up on this thing. No need to replace brand new parts that are already paid for.

Gus, just stick with the prop in the link I sent you.
It's what you need.

Well it seams I'm going to order the m445 to start, also looking at the y535 found it in another fe fourm as a good starting point. I'll also be testing a 26 bling rocket with a 1600 kv out runner.

Not a thing IMO, however, Gus said he is a mechanic for the USGC, therefore post #13 infers that Gus should have all the tools and perhaps knows how to b/s/p/ a prop...

This one is a bit tricky, I need help myself.

M445 is a great prop, start with this one as suggested...

I'm not sure the tools for a 28-36 inch diameter propeller are the same as a 44 mm diameter propeller. As stated before I'm still new the the fe boat hobby. The first one will be ready to use, I will be ordering the balancer and some small files along with some raw castings.

There are all kinds of links to read before prop work begins. Really all the sites for the 1:1 like Mercruiser's "how to" still apply to the small guys.

Nice boat and nice build. I built similar hull except running on 6s with a leopard 4082 1600kv and an Octura M545 prop. Lots of power and things stay reasonably cool
