You could run an octura 447
and the ''monster'' would barely get warm im guessin'.........................lets see, hmmmm, 27'' vee, 5+/- h.p. brushless, 50,000rpms, 447 prop = 60-65 mph on glass?????? would you dare run a 450?????
P.S. - you beat me to this project, cuz i was gonna pull mine out of my 3905 to try it, but i was gonna go with a 72'' vee i saw on e-bay, i'm very interested to see and hear about this..................i'm sorta livin' it thru you.
honestly im still trying to figure out the whole prop situation. but the 447 and stock villain prop are supposed to be close to the same and the stock villain prop is what im using as a starting point. so if all works out i may be using a 447 or 450
heres a little teaser on the paint job, this is the hatch covered in 6 layers of autoair lime pearl covered by 6 more layers of lacquer clear coat. its not the greatest pic because i took it with my cell phone but there will be more to come after its all put together.
because of the rpm you are going to see with this motor on 4s I would find a smaller prop to start with just to be on the safe side!
