In fact i have noticed that there is not a super prop. For example with my previous setup the x470 3 blade was out of my choices and now it has become my first choice prop

Hi

I enjoyed watching your video and wow what a fabulous place to run your boat!

I much like the Sigma especially when combined with a Zenoah.

The Octura X470 prop for me runs very well on a Stock Zen although with my Lynx mono it does tend to torque the hull heavily.

Cheers
Craig

Status: offline 		Graig thanks for the comment. I really had a hard time with the props, made all kinds of tests, 6717/3, 6518/3, 7016/2, x670... and finally i lifted the stinger up a bit and now the x 470/3 looks like the best choice. Before lifting the stinger (vertically to the transom) the engine could not spin the  3 blade x470 (mod zen7)! As for the lake, i am a lucky guy and have two near the place i live! Do you have a Sigma as well? any videos?

Status: offline 		I think Dave recomends the 7015/3 prop on that boat with the zen 7,its a great prop.A lot of guys are running it on my Apache 58s with the zen 7 and 30 cc zenoahs too with great results def one of the best both for speed and handling.

It's happening again!! I agree with Mart on this one, best prop I found so far for my Sigma is a 7015/3, pulls hard off the turns and very stable prop, does not upset the boat at all.

Needs to be fairly high up the transom to maintain stability but worth setting the boat up around.

Status: offline 		Recently there was a 5 minute review in our national TV channel about rc boating. The intervies are in Greek but i posted the video cause i think it is impressive. There was a rc hexacopter that took panoramic views of the lake and is guided with the help of a GPS, awesome! Feel free to comment.

Nice running Sigma you have there.

Wow Henk, That is some statement considering I've sold Sigmas into more than 30 different countries. The best prop EVER tested?

See you at the race in Holland next month.

I use 7015/3 on my Sigmas for racing because its a very stable prop with fast acceleration, certainly not the fastest though. ABC 2716-20 from my rigger with some mods would be the fastest I have used but it makes the handling ugly.

Yeah .. yeah ... I edited my statement :-)

Statement is true .. I can back it up , as we are logging all set-up data each run.

@ Ndimo ... I don't know .. I'll ask the owner/driver and let you know OK ?
