Need prop expert advice !

Remember now I'm running a experimental junk setup ! lol

Guys , I bought my prop from FDM, I have had good luck in the past with them. Dasboata I will like to get a prop from you when I'm closer to knowing wich one works best.

Sorry to dirty up your post !

FWIW I'm trying to see how the pitch alone improves the speed as Fluid mentioned I need more of it. I don't want my boat to have excess torque effect or thrust with larger props because I want this boat to be very smooth at high speed . The T29 isn't a high speed boat by design so keeping it calm and predictable at full throttle is my goal.

In the video it sounded like not enough prop was in the water

Exactly ! With the same prop with more of it in the water I should have been in the 50's

Yea, it sounded like it was free-rearwheelin! :) I think a 442 or 642 will suit you better. I have a 642 I could send you to try.

That's ok , I understand we all can get excited , I'm guilty of it too ! Maybe we can erase some of our posts hear and clean this one up including the quoted ones so those go away too. I understand each prop to do is alone of work and focus and no two are exactly alike . I would hate to see these remarks floating around forever. I respect both of your skills very much and Fluids . I can take a punch a little better these days

That's no problem. I can do another one lol.

I like really sharp props like the one I ran in the vid but I also bent on of the blade tips tightening the bullet nut with my hand ( wearing leather gloves) it bent in a way that it actually added pitch so I bent the other two the same. After my run they were straightened out again ! I suppose it was sharpened too much in the wrong area , it's a loaner prop

I make mine sharp like you see in the pic above but I don't thin them too much where they will bend. I did buy one from a "professional" and the first pass I made it bend the blades back. $60 down the drain. Lol. I have a few other props you might be interested in trying. Pm me this evening g and I'll look through my box. I know I have a 40mm stainless one that did 53mph on my small cat.
