    Props for CF Shocker w/twin TP 4060 3Y 1870kv, Swordfish 220A's & 6s per motor?

    I'm sorry guys - I've searched but haven't nailed down a definitive answer, and I'm an RC boat newb. I want this boat to fly (hopefully not literally), but I'm not sure that I have enough ESC to handle the prop's I'll need to run. I'm looking at 3-blade prop's like maybe an Octura M series, and thinking 48mm-ish...? I've read a twin setup will ease some of the amp draw, and 3-blade prop's increase amp draw...but I don't how much decrease/increase from each. What kind of continuous amp draw should I expect with large diameter 3-blade, high RPM prop's with this setup? Can two Swordfish 220A's handle this or do I need to upgrade?

    Thanks,
    Michael P.
