Default RE: new prop upgrade for boat

Hi nitro way,

the most popular 3 blade prop in the right size range is the Octura M435. This is available both unfinished:

and finished:

from a number of places including OSE, but is expensive and should really be paired with a brushless motor to get the best out of it - it is wasted on a brushed motor if that's what you still have.

A more cost-effective upgrade is the ProBoat stainless steel upgrade to the original plastic prop,

as it doesn't need balancing and sharpening like to Octura copper props.
