Default RE: Patriot 40 engine advice


ORIGINAL: combatpigg

18,000 rpm with a 10x6 works out to 100 mph. The fastest Patriot radar readings I've heard of were in the 170s......how do you get there from here?
IIRC the fast times were made with 10x7 props and an engine that unloaded extremely well..
not really looking to go 170........and if so i believe it would take way more than the 60LX to do it................right?

suggestions here were to get the 60LX instead of the 50.
but i just got an email from Dub, he is recommending the 55LX................yes, the 55LX.

i do plan on running different props though, i was just adding that the 60 will pull a 10x6 1K faster than the 50.
