Octura prop size for 32" cat

[Heath M]

you don't need to run a Y harness with bullet plugs. Set them up so ypu have a male on one wire and a female on the other, then the 2 packs will connect together. Make sure your ESC has the opposite plugs on the power wires...
you should use the same size plugs for all your connections, makes life alot easier then..

That is the spirit Heath.

I'll cover a few of the main points here to sumerise.

1/ Deans are ok but really for power and efficiency you need to go for bullets and for a XL motors 5.5 are very highly reccomended (by me) trust me on that one !

2/ 5 min runs between "touching the can" or temp check will be fine while your setup is low proped and high rated on the esc side.
Once you up the prop the power will flow and things get hot fast.
1 min should be the max you run between temp check during setup time.
I can blow solder joints in 30 secs

3/ Lastly, I run a 642 on a 9xL in my mono and the 100A speedy is barely warm but the motor is warm and the pack is, well that pack is farked anyway, so it gets well warm after 2 mins on the pond.

Bottom line is.
With a reasonable esc that can do 125A+ Sustained you will be fine with the 9XL on 4S unless you do something really stupid.

I'm keen as always to help.

Agreed, but one member's tone was way out of line and derogatory and I will not accept that behaviour. End of this sad story

Douggie, why do you feel you have to back someone up? Jay is a big boy and can handle his own.

Your comments were very harsh.

[sailr]

some people post derogatory remarks just to jack some of you up. If you ignore them, they will not be fulfilled and might just go away. One can hope.

First off thank you Jeff and boatman for your PM replies and your tone was duly noted on a positive note. I will always rush in to support a member that I think has been unduly assaulted. That is Douggie

Comon guys/ladies. All i wanted to know is what prop for my 32" cat... Why so much dramas?

[Flying Scotsman]

Here is your answer

I assume you are running 4S. Those props will work - if you want to go slower. All have less pitch and/or less diameter than the x642. I run m445, m545 and m645 props on my MeanMachine with that motor on 4S and the cat runs great. The motor will handle more prop than the x642 - but as always watch for heat issues as the ESC may get stressed. The boat must be running freely, not too wet.

Mind i ask what esc are you running on your MM?
