The Voracity tuning thread

[paulfromtulsa]

My stock untouched prop ran 48.7 so maybe there's a wide variance in them. The x646 didn't torque roll to badly. I didn't really notice it anyway. I have run a 5014 on this boat and it did torque roll pretty badly but it still ran 55.8. I think you already switched your ESC right? I think I'm probably at the limit of the stock setup with the x646. The temps are concerning at least but I want to hear what the pros think.

Your motor and esc temps are not too high. Yes i have change the esc to a 180amp Seaking. The 5014 prop that you used is it 50mm with a 1.4 pitch? I'm not familiar with that prop. I'm thinking iI might ok with a 648.

The 5014 is a CNC prop that I tried just to see what they were all about. Yes, it does have a 1.4 pitch. I would like to see how far the stock ESC and motor can be pushed but I'm kind of itching to put in my 180a Seaking too...

I see your itching to try a 648. Well I can tell you I burned up a $490 lehner motor and a expensive Esc in my 34" mono running that prop. It pulled a lot of amps. I think I was Peaking 399 amps in some points of the data log. I'm not sure what it will do on this boat. It is a lighter boat but it has a six pole motor which changes things some. I know the stock setup lives just fine with a bit less prop but is close to being on the edge. I've only see a 2 or so mph increase from a 645 to a 648 anyway. There's better props out there that would pull less amps and likely go faster. M447 is one example. 1914 and 1915 abc are two more choices. I went 58 with a abc prop weekend before last. I know the 648 won't be as fast and will be harder on things. I'm not even sure why I keep that prop lol. I'm gonna try to get out to the lake a couple times this week and do some more testing. I really really need to change trim tabs. I think the stock ones are causing me fits because they won't hold their position if they get touched. I'm trying to keep this boat in as stock form as possible but I think that's one necessary accessory it really needs.

I'm really just itching to hit 60mph. I just want the best prop to get me there. So far the best performing prop has been the abc 1815. So i might just try one of those. I'm not sure what to do lol

Do note that Shua has a different rudder and billet trim tabs on his boat. Not sure if it helps but I do know the rudder he's using is a very good one and having the speed master trim tabs are definitely a plus. But for sure the 1815 is a very good prop.

KFX, are the ABC props you run 10 or 17 degree rake angle?

This is correct and I already upgraded to the Seaking 180 esc with an additional cap bank. I do not know If the props I'm trying would be safe for the stock speed controller. I would wager NOT.

That's a sexy rear end. Lol

1814 is a 10 degree and 1815 is a 17 degree. Abc is coming out with a 1814 (1.4 pitch vs 1.5 pitch) 17 degree rake version with the 45 blade area. Should be a good runner on this boat.

Thanks for the information!

Thanks! I decided to name her as well.

I ran an ABC 1915-17-45 this morning. Still stock motor and ESC. Water was glassy and I don't have this prop quite as sharp as it probably should be. A little breeze and a sharper prop might get a little more but anyway..... 57.3mph on 6S and 36.1mph on 4S. This prop has a pretty good amount of slip on acceleration from a stop and in tighter or slow corners. Boat is still handling great though. Lots of fun. Here are some temps. I would run a 2-3 quick passes and then bring it in read temps. I did not run full packs so these temps could go higher.

ESC - 126
Motor - 105
Batts - 95 95
ESC caps - 170
Motor connectors - 120ish

So out of all your props which one yields the highest mph? Im still trying to decide on which prop to buy

[arrover]

So far this is the fastest that I have run but I only have 6 or 8 props currently. I'm having fun trying different things. What's amazing to me is that the 4S speed with this prop was 21mph slower than 6S.

Man that thing looks so good!
