Currently I'm only running it on 6s (10,000 mah 100c 3s x2) but will be adding a couple sets of lower capacity (lighter) dual 4s lipos to give it a go on 8s.

Currently on 6s with stock prop (1.73×1.6) I'm getting around 65 ish mph I believe without a GPS. What would be a good prop upgrade for just general driving (big 100 yard ovals out in the lake) that won't get my electronics too hot? Currently running at mostly wide open throttle for a full battery cycle my teps aren't crossing 95⁰ or so and I really like that but I'd also like a little more speed lol


Ignore the zip ties 🤣 inside is cleaned up with Velcro now
LIKE MOST SAY , PROP/MOTOR SELECTION IS A VOODOO THING ,trial and error.>>>>>>>>>>>>> the lower the KV the bigger the prop, higher KV smaller prop
important thing is to check temps after a run.........
