so the aq cat is a little shorter and a little more narrow with a larger/ better power plant. So it will be faster and i doubt it will be a dog in the corners with the rudder set up like it is.

I just bought this boat the hull and the hardware only i install upgrade shaft from OSE , turnugy 120 esc , and aquacraft 2030 motor , x440 prop needless to say it runs very smooth and fast going try the grim racer 42x55 see what happens . very happy so far [8D]

What batteries are you guys using for the Motley C? What can it handle up to?

Im running turnugys 2s 40 c 5000 mah , im waiting on the 65cs , get 4 mins fliat on the 40c s

So I am looking to add a metal prop the octura x440. Should I go 2 or 3 blade? does it make a difference? thoughts? sorry I am a noob. From what I have read the 3 prop requires your boat to have more power and if that is the case can the MC handle it?

thanks,
Tyler

This thread died a while ago. I wonder why though. I have an MC and after some hellava problems at first it is now the most fun I've hadin a long while. Mine is smooth as butter and carves the water like a razor. I just love this thing now that I have the bugs worked out.
I like this RTR thing, but I do wish you had the option to just buy the boat without TX/RX or just a hull with hardware. I would like to have a Proboat Impulse 31 too. But then I'll have three radios! one for Summit, one for MC and one for Impulse.
I don't know if the above poster is still active with his boat, but if so you probably know that the prop that is highly recommended is the X-455. I am going to try one today.

Go with 2 bladed prop

*delete M i k e u p delete*

go the 2 blade prop 440

asupervee72

x455 is not recommended at all with a 5636 size can at 1800 kv.

stuball56

Whoops, you are certainly right. I meant to say 42-55 a Grim Racer metal prop. Sorry about that. Hope nobody took my advice, lol.

The M445 is the ideal prop I hear..

asupervee72

m445 rips hard on the 1800 aq motor.

I will try out the M447 when I get my MC this week..

so whats the best for top speed? m445 vs 42-55 a Grim Racer

m447 on spec? I don' know if the stock esc will handle it. With a CF42 the motor avg right around 60amps on 4s, grant it out of the box she runs a tad wet. Now with a seaking 120 and a m447 that might be rather interesting! I'll be waiting to see how this works out. I like when people push stock power

Agreed the m445 does rip stock, slap some 5.5mm on it though, the little 4mm don't like that prop lol. I love the grim 42x55. Doesn't have the top end of the m445 but better runtime.

YEAH BABY!
MC came today...
I think I will start with a X642 and see how this one runs

motorhead91

I went to the LHS today and picked up a MC. The box looked a little aged, I'm hoping it's not one of the first production runs with hull issues. I ordered the 42x55 Grim prop and some 30c 5000mah batts and see how it goes this weekend.

stuball56

After you run it successfully for the first time, tell me youre not blown away! I was, for sure.

motorhead91

That is the plan! I've been running a Rio ep every now and then for the past couple summers and decided I wanted something a little more serious.

stuball56

Oh, I thought it was your first fast boat. Oh well, you still might be blown away, it's a pretty awesome looking when flying across the surface of the water.

motorhead91

First fast electric. I switched from the nitro side, the constant tuning and fuel was a pain. I've still got my old MV...it moved pretty good on 50% and Grim 36x55

asupervee72

i was heating up with the 445, but my motor is aged and it was in a slightly larger Ms. Vegas duece so that is definitely a variable. Also it was a fairly warm day. a 447 is gonna need to be watched but i am very interested, Seems like it might be too much diameter and cause some instabilities.

I'm thinking about getting a x646/3 detounging, back cut and maybe reduce to like 44 mm. But then i'm not sure if 3 blades is where i want to be. I have a 645 i've been working on and it works real good with the 1500 proboat motor. Has anybody messed with the abc props, they have a couple that have me interested , but price is also a bit higher. Well this isn't a prop thread and i'm starting to talk about different motors and boats here so i'm done.

I'm curious about the 3 blades on this hull vs the 2's

Diesel6401

My Feedback: (1)

I ran a x447/3 cut down to 42mm detounged and tiped and the hull hated it. To much lift in the transom and caused a nasty bounce mixed with prop walk. Yanked it and stuck a 42x55 back on it and she was happy again. I may have gotten that prop to work with lots of tuning (maybe not), but didn't feel like screwing with it as I was crunched on time. Iwanna try a m445 with this motor I have and Iwanna try a prather 220.

Not running stock motor BTW.

is it possible this hull would like a X642?
extra pitch [:-]
