Default Sonic 500 OS 46fx what prop size.

What prop size should I be using on an os 46fx on a sonic 500. What RPM should I be seeing. I have a Tower hobby's 46 pipe on it. The pipe seems to help.750 to 1000 RPM. I'm not racing just want to go fast.(but don't we all) Ok well we are at it what fuel % do most use. Thanks.
RCU Forums are a Great help.

Default RE: Sonic 500 OS 46fx what prop size.

APC 8.8" x 8.75
APC 8.8" x 9
APC 8.8" x 9.25
APC 8.8" x 9.5
APC 8.75" x 9.5 NN

Those will be the fastest props for your sonic. I would try to prop it around 15,500-16,000 which should be about perfect for your setup with Tower Pipe. Regular 15% Nitro fuel will be fine.

Don't let this happen to it... Eventually it happens to all the fast ones... This Sonic was about 5-6 years old I think but it finally happened.[]
