Not sure if Rafael posted this?

Would a set of CNC 50mm props work on this boat?

Yes for a couple seconds at least.

Agree. A guy from my boat club bought a set from OSE and both tips broke off.

Keagan, thanks for posting that vid. I did forget to post it here. Still haven't had more time with that setup but man that thing accelerates fast!

[daHammer]

Keagan-Z06 I noticed you were running 3 blade props in the vid. Any problems and what size?

[Keagan-Z06]

I've been pecking away at my boat. I've been reinforcing it and getting it ready for the next level of mods. With a motor swap I know I can get around 90 mph with this thing. I put epoxy/chopped carbon down the seam and in the tips and from tunnel. This weekend I'm going to try and at least lay a base coat on it. Possibly clear it on Sunday. I can't wait!

It never ends. Do you have a picture of your sharpened rudder and flex by chance?

Sorry thats Rafael's video. I think he mentioned 1815/3, but he wasnt sure. Hope he chimes in!

Was he still running the stock motors with those props?

Dynamite 1750kv, 40x68mm motors, ABC 3 blade Cleaver props

What is the fastest GPS speed people here have obtained using the STOCK props?

I believe that Rafael was able to break 70 using a completely stock setup, with the exception of me prepping the stock props for him. In fact, I think he used either these or something very close to them to establish the current Q-Cat 2-Lap record. I know there was a SIGNIFICANT speed increase with nothing more than properly prepping those props.

Darin, I've never seen past 65 with it, stock, with those props. I stopped GPSing after the 2 lap event, honestly.

Keagen, I forget what props those are. Someone asked on YouTube, I replied in the video's comments. I'm not running the stock motors either. I'm running Impulse 31 motors which make nearly 5 times more power, each, compared to the stock motors. No issues running with the stock ESCs; the Impulse uses the same ESC.

I was trying to answer daHammer as he was the one asking. Didn't know the Impulse had a beastly motor! Nice

I broke 70 with mine on stock props. I actually had the timing at 0 but it picked up mph when I put it to 7 but never tried it on stock props once I had it dialed in.

[kfxguy]

Here's a video with stock props.
I think I posted it here earlier in the thread. I want to say I did 70.2 a few times completely stock besides I did a quick sharpen on the props
