X-37 prop - what is it???
I was told to get a x-37 prop, for a 4mm shaft - but I've gone to tower and I don'tsee anything. Is this just a generic type term??? Any part #'s would be great.

RE: X-37 prop - what is it???
It's going in a RS boat - from my thread - http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/20t_...1141210/tm.htm
here's what someone else did and said
I've seen the x-4?? and x-6?? before - what does those 3 numbers mean? - Size? Pitch? What??
thanks

mocars,
I upgraded the prop on my RS boat. With the stock prop (X-37) I'd say the boat's speed is 6 - 8 MPH!
The new prop (smaller than stock) I used is a slightly agressive pitch X-35 plastic prop. I had to replace (cut) half the original stainless steel prop shaft.
I used the following materials for the upgrade:
1) 4 mm brass rod
2) 4 mm drive joint by Kyosho, part# 94901-4
3) 4 mm Drivedog & collet by ABC Hobby, part# 55015
4) X-35 plastic prop ( unknown brand ) Cost: $ 1.69
The boat now runs at about 8-10 MPH, not much because I'm still using my stock motor.

The 4 and 6 are the pitch times that number for a low lift prop in a way. For instance, the pitch on a 37mm prop would be 1.4 times 37. A lifting prop for instance uses a number like 14 to represent the 1.4 just to show you the difference between the two.

RE: X-37 prop - what is it???
I understand the last 2 digits is the diameter, and the pitch is figured by X by 1..4 - but then what's the difference between a x-437 and x-637 for a non-lift prop? Also what's the x stand for - the diameter x 1.4 or what? So what was gulfstream really saying when he suggests a x-37?
