He's cheatin! ABC 1815-17-45(2) prop

He ran the bigger prop because he used a 1800kv motor since the 2000kv motors were not ready yet.

Just messin around, would be sweet if it came with an ABC 17 degree rake prop.

It says in the information that it comes with a 1.7 (43.18mm) X 1.6 Pitch and if you look closely at the pictures it looks like a 17 degree rake prop.

So it would be very close to a ABC 1716 - 17-45/2 which is a 17 degree rake prop,

oooh, I did not notice that image, the parts listing showed what looked like a stock proboat prop.

People need to stop upgrading the boat before they even have one. You may find that it's pretty well equipped out of the box.

Do a proper sharpening, perhaps a little thinning, and balance the stock prop. I think you'll be surprised. From there, getting more speed is relatively easy, especially with the selection of ABCs available.

that is why I asked. not all of us have access to people in their area who balance and sharpen props.

You don't need access to anything other than YouTube to resolve that. Go do a search on "Balance RC Boat Prop". There are tons of videos there explaining the process.

If you want to buy prepped ABC Props, you're best bet in my opinion is Brian Buaas: brain@raptorrc.com

If I were starting out with something other than the stock prop, on 4S, I'd probably get myself an ABC 1716-17-45(2). Whether that's "ideal" or not remains to be seen. Boats need to get here first.
