Default Prop Advice

Looking to pickup a balanced and sharpened prop.

25" HOTR mono, 3660 3000Kv motor, 4mm stinger drive, wire drive, 3S 2200 in parallel.

I also have a 380XL (2868) 2898Kv motor.

May swap in a 4074 2000Kv Leopard.

I have been running a 42 dia prop without much pitch. Its plastic and Im rounding/jumping the drive dogs (thats with previous motor).

Here is the prop I have been using (went thru 3 of them now):

Here is a video of it with that prop before destroying it.

Nobody?

Im thinking of an X442?

Sound good or to big? I intend on buying a sharpened balanced prop as I dont have the skill to do it myself. Ideally I would like to buy just one of course. I know there has to be people out there that have used this hull with similar power and should know.

Please help

Hi i have a brushless apache 24 with a 3300KV motor runing 3S i use the x430 and 432 props a 442 sounds way to large like you are going to be burning up your lipos and heating everything up with that size prop.

Advice I have received on OSE is to try X437/3 and X440/3 and the Graupner 40 & 42

Im going to go ahead and try the 3 blades. Searching for balanced/sharpened ones right now.
