M445 balanced prop on stock set up

[wppracing]

Will a balanced M445 prop work ok with the stock set up? I run 7.4 40c and 50c lipos. and what timing should the esc be set at high or low ?

Prop will work fine. Set motor timing to high, get the rid of the deans connectors (if you haven't done so yet) and change out the 3.5mm bullets to 5.5mm bullets and you will have yourself a very nice running MG.

On 4 cell not 5 cell...Dont do it on 5s..Ask me why..

Now, m445,stock motor, SK180 esc is awesome on 5s!!! Also a cf45 prop with the same setup is awesome 2..A cf45 on 5s will launch out of the water and ride a wheely setup just right..I love mine!! Only about 1 inch of the rudder and the prop only is in the water..

He posted he was running 7.4's so he's safe on 4s.... Yes to the OP that prop on 5s stock is no no.... Pyro has the charcoaled souvenir to prove it lol...

Stock system will handle that prop on 4s. As long as he changes the deans/3.5mm he should be just fine.

will it still work if I dont change the deans yet ?

[LiPo Power]

Change the cheep deans to 5.5, please.....

what all do you gain switching from deans to 5.5?

[wppracing]

I wont have time to get the 5.5 bullets for this weekend. SO will leaving on the deans for some prop testing cause any issues with the stock set up ?

[ron1950]

5.5's offer lesss restance so they stay cooler

[bbosncali]

you'll be saving yourself alot of money in the end.. for about $20 in connectore vs $60 motor $70 esc $30-$75 x2 batteries = alot more than $20

start with something small like an x642 if you just can't wait but the bigger the prop the bigger the load and deans are only rated at 60amps on a good day

ec5 connectors are another good choice and most hobby shops carry them. i use those on my esc and batteries and 5.5mm on my motor

Going to try to get some today and change all of them over. If not I will take off the prop and test it next week.

I wouldn't test a m445 with those deans or the 3.5mm bullets. The amp load is going cause issues for those items. Deans have NO place in FE boating, they are just the RC industry standard at this time.

Switching over is gonna add reliability to the setup. One of the best quickest and cheapest upgrade you can make to any RTR boat not just the MG is switching to bigger connectors and dumping the deans.
