Default RE: Prop on a car engine

I know it's been previously stated but I'll reinforce the thought - Using an R/C airplane prop is not a good idea. I suspect that very few props can handle the forces from being spun at such high speeds. I'd check with the prop manufacturer for their speed recommendations before trying anything. You risk damaging the engine, the prop, YOURSELF and anyone/anything else in range of getting hit by shrapnel when your set-up goes KABOOM...
