Rescue Boat Props
I have a quite old Traxxas Villain IV which will be used as rescue boat for the 48" Rico Mono. I have a U shape recue tubing in front and will test how it works soon.
I will have 24k turn motor with 2S Lipo. I need more torque and control at low speed. So which type of prop will provide best torque? Smaller in diameter or bigger? 2 blades or 3 blades?
Thanks

RE: Rescue Boat Props
If its any help, my rescue boat runs twin 5000rpm high torque motors and 68mm 2 blade props
More than enough power to hall in over turned boats

RE: Rescue Boat Props
I saw that yesterday when I made a search on this topic and also great vids. It is a great boat with excellent maneuver capability
I'm buying brushed 24k turn cheaper engine and they have much better then the stock engine. I will add water cooling. I'm having a detachable Y type rescue port (like the other member Dicko) as I want my kids to play as well. So a little more speed can be nice. So your's is 68mm, maybe I will go about 50ish.
