Thanks for watching ironclad rc tinker test and tune everything..
Personal contact information ironcladedout@gmail.com
These prop change videos are ace!! Love hearing, seeing the differences. Could watch these all day long man!!👍🏻
this guys living my dream. judt goin outside driving awesome rc boats and enjoying life. just puts a smile on my face everytime i watch you!
Love these tests with propellers that you do. Keep on testing for all of us to learn. Thank You
Love your videos bro, all the different hardware changes you do at the pond are super helpful,. It's awesome how much time & energy you put into them, sharing your experience & knowledge, I appreciate that for sure.
Wicked, cheers eh :)
Videos like these help out so much. I get a kick out of you trying out props that I have myself. Keep em coming
Thanks brother, boat gang
Finally found a rc boat channel . Good stuff Thanks
Welcome to the boat gang brother. 👊
Great and above all informative video. So you can give us boaters really good tips and make the decision easier.
Keep up the good work!👍👍
Hell yeah big B, love the prop testing videos , bashing, speed runs, whatever! Your getting another care package next week!
Thanks brother I just saw the email. Thanks again
Yo big B love these types of videos showing and describing in detail different props performances. Ive been running the sonicwake v1 now for about 2 years and believe it or not i have had great success with the traxxas spartan 42mm prop. It get the boat out of the hole real quick compared to stock. My buddies cant catch me around our Sarasota FL boat course.......I LOVE LITTLE BOATS AND I CANNOT LIE!!!!!.....FULL SEND NATION...Sarasota FL..YEAH BUDDY!!!
Videos like this are very helpful. Saves a bit of money on myself. Subscribed.
Thanks for the support, I have many other prop testing videos in my library, and welcome to the boat gang. 😆
Why am I hooked on your videos? I love my RC crawler trucks and bashers and gots endless area to run them here in the California Hi-Desert. But I ain't got more than my bathtub for a 'body of water' to run a RC boat.
Hell yeah love the swaps ,test and tune.
great experiments you do! I haven't seen anything like it on TH-cam. thanks very cool!
Great video man. Very helpful!!
Thanks glad I can help brother
Another day or so I’ll be looking forward to seeing another prop try with your boats. Good stuff brother 😁😁.
Me to brother. Thanks
Hell Yeah!
Yes we do like videos like this, Octura x642 my go to prop. Keep up the good work, the more specs you can give the better, motor size, batter s count, full prop specs, awesome vids my friend!
Please stop saying you know every time. Further cool videos I learn a lot from it!
Love these videos 'live' on the pond where you try different props and tweak struts, turn fins, trim tabs etc. This is where we all learn something so PLEASE carry on doing what you're doing brother.
I have to say... I just LOVE the sound from that 3 blade, but the 642 is so perfect for that boat.
Something in that pond that the Rugged didn't like. Neat trick with the dehumidifier. Unfortunately I don't have one so it'll have to be rice and CorrosionX for me 😂
Thanks brother. Yea the dehumidifier works great but a Fan would do just as good. Also I've had several guys recommend silica packs for situations like this
I love this prop trial video i just bought a V2 still have it in the box doing research to see what are the best upgrades
Well your gonna love the next few videos. Oxidean Marine prop trial
Engagement, because I love this channel!
Keep ‘em coming big B.
Hey Big B, great video on the 4 props. Excellent info on the 4519 and the 642 with the temp. Difference. 1
Thanks brother glad I can help. Bg4l
I like videos like this. I'll keep in mind not to drop my DX5 in the water but you showed how to fix it. Nice..!
Oh man I was worried it wouldn't come back to life. Thank goodness it did. I enjoy watching your vids brother keep up the great work my friend
Wow, fantastisch Boot brou, geht sehr gut ab🚤💨💨😀dicken fetten daumen nach oben für dein Video 👍👍👍👏💙
Loved the video I would love to see more videos on or about propeller
Thank you very much.
Very interesting content! One suggestion when comparing many setups: show a table with a good overview so people do not have to remember all data. Thanks!
Thanks brother. To be honest I barely have the time to do the testing and editing. But I will keep that in mind thanks.
What prop would perform well with good runtime on 4s on a Sonicwake V2 ? Would the oxidean 4519 and the octura 642 that you recommended for 6s be props to consider? Love the channel, I’ve learned so much from your videos in the short time that I’ve been into RC boats. 🤙🏻
Awesome have been awaiting this video, BIG B LOVE THE CHANNEL, sucks what happened to remote
Thanks brother. I got it working with a Fan blowing into the remote. Used it today with out issue 👊
Thank's for Sharing 💯🔥💯👍💯🍻
That 3 blade prop sounds cool when you come off throttle. 54 mph is pretty good
You could probably add a couple mph to that prop in a bigger area
Lovin the prop change videos. I like top speed stuff and all, but i would rather have more punch out of the hole. Gunna give that octura a try. Bummer about the tx. Do you think hitting the electroncis with corrosion x would be worthwhile for future mishaps? I mean, the can says its "safe" for electronics. Haha. I just picked some up for the first time yesterday from your recommenedation on making the rx more water resistent.
I sprayed corrosion X in my Dynamite GPS to see if it affected the screen? SO FAR SO GOOD, I may try it in the DX5 soon (fingers crossed 🤞)
Thanks to IRON CLAD, I had a chance to do my own prop testing. Not , quite as robust , but it gave me a good starting point. I was coming from , a Stock setup with my Black Jack 24, so, my test bench, was limited. MY electronics had already been upped to a 120 Amp ESC. , and a few additional tweaks. THE boat had come with a Stock Black Jack 29 prop, which simply over heated the electronics. I had tested several CNC props, .438, a.440, several FTL's , and a Grim Racer. 1515. THE Grim Racer and the FTL 438 , ran the best, and the smaller prop, (s) , actually kept the electronics cooler, and both props, were wicked fast on 4S. THE .440, had a good top end, but was a bit sluggish at the start. I gained two mph. , but , with hot electronics, it wasn't worth it. I eventually settled on the.438 FTL , with a 2.26 pitch.
🐠
I've been recommending 438 for the bj24 for years. Great prop. It's fun going to the lake with a few props and doing your own type testing. 👌
Like the 3 blade props! Could you run some on the blackjack 42? Please other than that keep on keeping on love how you try new things. just be you.
Love it thank you
@IRONCLAD RC What tool are you using at 4:30? That seems perfect for prop changes. All the ones I can find are super long, like 11" and that seems too finicky to tighten/untighten a prop. Thanks for the video!
It's a 4 way I got in my arrma kraton 6s rtr pretty sure this is the link. www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=953aec29-878e-4306-b620-2df85883455e&website_id=70256520-69d3-496b-a06d-cfbf9af7a81d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fproduct%2Fsocket-wrench-4-way-x-long%2FDUB702.html
Great vid 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. On then fence about purchasing at the moment. Only thing killing me is the runtime. I need more.
Get a high mah lipo. 7000mah 100c should give you 8-10 min run time. I run my boats with big props which reduces runtime dramatically
Love the video. What's your favorite basher prop for the sonicwake v2 box stock? Cool temps, a few more mph, and decent run time from stock?
Octura 642
GREAT video. Which prop upgrade would you suggest to buy? My boat is out of the box, no upgrades planned. running same Lipos. THANKS
Either the oxidean 4519 (for speed) or a octura 642 (cool Temps higher speed than stock)
Love from uae 🇦🇪 ❤️ 🎉
This stuff is gold. Just tried the 3 blade on my v2 and im liking it. Something im curious about is if you noticed your stock stinger getting really hot. I was switching props and when i touched mine, it was to hot to touch longer then a second. I took it all apart at the house checking the bushing and regreasing everything. I followed your vid on the bj42 with the heat issue in the tube, but the swv2 is not quite the same set up. I spun er up a quarter throttle and within ten seconds, it was getting to hot to touch again. I havent a clue what to do next or is this just normal? Thanjs
They will run a little warm out of the water.(dry running the boat) It shouldn't be scorching hot but a little heat is normal out of the water.
absolutely ig B because we leader so much from you
Thanks for the video brother! So would you choose the Oxidean or the Octura prop for everyday just driving on the sonic wake v2?
Personally I'd choose the oxidean prop for simplicity. 4519 comes ready to go has a good type deal a d Temps are reasonable.
@@IRONCLADRC Thank you brother! Keep up with prop testing videos.
Hey Big B, all stock SW V2 running Zeee 8000 100c 3s batteries, a lot of cavitation until full trigger. What would be a good prop with less cavitation ? Not looking for much more speed just less cavi and good temps. Thanks for the vids !
Did you try adjusting your strut,cg and trim tabs first to eliminate cavitation first..soo many adjustments combos can be made..
can you tell me what control equipment will work well on a gas boat?
Great video! I just started back into RC boats. I got back in with a TFL Zonda (carbon), 4082/2200kv motors with 180A ESCs. Been running stock props 4019. I’m looking at the Oxidean 4519. Is that a good next level prop?
Yes, sir, I would think so. You're running 2200kv motors, so watch your temps propping up! Oxidean 4519 or 42 high rake...
@@IRONCLADRC Thank you!
Like watching your videos. I am looking to purchase a DX5 Pro tx to run my new Sonicwake v2 boat and a Losi Bog Hog truck. Both have Spectrum equipment. I am not new to the RC hobby but this will be my first time using these type of tx.
My big question....what all do I need to take advantage of the DX5 Pro tx minus GPS? Help!
Basically all you need to use is spektrum smart batteries with the dx5 and spektrum 120 or 160 firma. Fairly simple once you have all the proper components.
Have you done a prop test video with the recoil 2?
Im looking to upgrade the stock esc.. Maybe get a bit more power. But not have to worry about heat constantly. Also looking for a good bashing prop. Something with a really good holeshot and decent top end. What battery model is the biggest you would go with for just playing around/bashing in a pond? Runtime is priority. Sorry for so many questions. Thanks so much for your videos. They help a lot.
I'd go with the castle creations x8s that's the BEST esc for this boat, second best is a hobbywing 180.
Smc hcl-hp 6500 & 7600mah 150c are perfect for Bashing. I've run larger 9500mah packs but it's almost to heavy which in turn slows the boat and heats things up
@@IRONCLADRC will i have to get bigger cooling lines? Im currently running the stock 1/8id/1/4od lines. I did open up the holes a bit more in the transom to give the lines room. I think the hobbywing esc (that im getting because I have the hobbywing bluetooth programmer) takes that size lines.. What ESC tray will i need? I can’t find it online. Thanks for the knowledge
Fantastic video, could you try the octura x646 prop, see what speed can be achieved.
I have a 645 I can try my next run out..
Really good video . Thinking about getting the PB V2 . Is there a better boat near the same price range ?
Man the v2 is hard to beat comes ready to go. All it needs is a cooling mod for cooler Temps on the esc
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks Man !
What prop size do you recommend for the UL-19 mainly running 4s lipo? Also if I was to run 6s what prop size would you recommend? Thanks Big B 🤙🏽
I'm about to start running some different props on the u19. I may have to get back to you on that. Abc 1716 is a good start. It's the same size as the stick prop but more aggressive basically a speed run prop?
I personally like the prop swap vids. For some reason that boat looks like there is a lot left on the table before it gets sketchy. Thats a "prop"er prop collection. Dad jokes engaged
Thanks brother. I appreciate it glad you like the content. she definitely has more in it for sure. You have to tune in your boat from prop to prop to get the most out of it
Any tips on getting the v2 to turn left? Mine is horrible!!! Really bad!!
Big B could you run a test with a CNC 4414, M445 1.4, and if you have a Grim Racer42×55 1.3, that would be awesome. Keep the prop vids coming and hope your dx5 screen comes back on.
I've got a m447 cut down m445. I've got a 4314 I could run here shortly. Hard to find the Grimm racer props. I did actually get the screen working 💪 with a Fan/dehumidifier blowing on it to dry her off 👊
Just subscribed, great channel, and I like those prop separation boxes is the a link for purchase thanks 🤘😎🤘

Hearing the sped up no's was funny as hell lol
I would be interested in what you think of the abc1716 to try out on the sonic wake. There have been a bunch of threads recommending that prop for the big twin prop miss geico. Up until the sonic wake update, the two boats shared the same motor and esc.
Watch my new video I ran the 1716 and got my PB. Awesome prop
@@IRONCLADRC ooowee, that was a smokin run! Thanks for the work you put in. Alright, gunna have to pick up a couple props now to have a top speed one and a quick outta the hole one for goofing around in my smaller pond
I added that blue oxy prop to my stock v2 and soon after it melted all of my plugs together for some reason. Had to replace them all with ec5s. Wonder what caused that
Possibly the trim on your boat, if it's running to wet/deep in the water it'll cause extra drag, causing excessive temps. Easy fix is to trim the boat up a few turns on the trim tabs is a good starting point also moving cog back. Trim it up far enough it stays in the water.
Have you ever tried the ul19 prop on the wake? I know you mentioned using it on your black jack in a different video
Oh yea, it's an awesome setup with that prop easy 65mph
@@IRONCLADRC awesome I’ll have to pick one up, how are the temps? I just got my v2, it’s my second boat coming from a Traxxas blast I had a few years back so I’m beyond blown away by it haha
Hey BB, I' looking for more acceleration from the jump. From your video either the 4514 or the 4519, I might get both. Do I get RH or LH prop for stock SonicWake v2 ? Thanks for your time !
Left hand rotation for single motor boats. The 4519 is a great low-end prop.
The 4214 3blade runs a little hot with the stock electronics.
@@IRONCLADRC Thank you sir
Stiller! THE radios? I think ,they are water resistance, but don't make great submarines. MY first day on the lake, with my Black Jack 24? Flamed a defective 30A ESC. , and my controller got rained on. AND poofed. P.S, not covered under warranty. 3 Radios later , and some major , mods, and "Battle Scars," it's still afloat four years later. We had shared some info, via Email, and you have some great videos, and and you also had discussed your great section of props, and was also explaining why I was having issues with some stock props. I went to low lift "Generic prop," but I also lost all of my top speed. I'm thinking of going with a balanced and sharpened Prathar 215. On paper, it should run out fine. I was just wondering , if you had and experience with that prop. Especially on the Black Jack 24 Or, if you had a better suggestion? I am basically running Black Jack 29 Hardware, so , I am not sure, if I could even go beyond a 40mm. prop? Your advice, would be greatly appreciated. THX, Mark.
You have extra luck anout like me. Hopefully you got it all sorted out
are there any amazon props worth buying for the sonicwake?
Hi Thank you for your interesting video. Can you please tell me for how long a 6s 5200 Mha will last?
About 5or 6min depending on how hard you run the boat I've had the. Last up to 8 or 9 min
Cannot believe you changed props with motor left on. Lucky you got your fingers left.
If it were a cheap Bobo raido, I'd unplug the battery. I also make sure my radio is out the way so the trigger doesn't get bumped.
Hey sir. Great video. Info for you. Just letting you know that I just received my prop from chris Hoffman for my 28 inch rigger. It's 3 or 4s, sss 2640 4200kv motor. Gave him the info I just gave him the info I just gave you and he sent me the prop I "need". Just got back from running. Got 66 mph on 4s 3300 mah. I wanted to let you know the prop specs thinking of your rigger. X642 cut down to 41 mm, cup taken out major thinning, sharpened and balanced. Like I just said, thinking of your little rigger. Your great sir.
Thanks brother that's an amazing speed for a 3-4s rigger. Wow. Thanks for the heads up my friend
Ended up with a pair of these for me and my son...wanna keep him runnin 4s cuz 6s is sketchy fast for a 9yo...it cavitates bad on 4s stock with some trim tab adjustment.....could you test some props on 4s to save me chasin the best option? Your channel is the reason i bought the sonic wake..and now the horizon harbor tug today! 😂
I'm actually changing the esc on the v2 as we speak I'm upgrading to a OSE 150. I will try to do a 4s test for you but unfortunately it wouldn't be a fair comparison for the boat
SO- is the Oxidean Marine CNC prop 4519 for the Sonicwake V2, run a little cooler than the stock prop? Using 5000mah 100c 11.1V batteries??
Yes sir it does. At least 10 - 15 deg cooler
I have a question. Where did you get the 3D printed holder? Would like to print one.

That's awesome brother you're teaching me a lot of good stuff I'm old school with nitro cars and I'm getting on the water and I bought one of them 38-inch Sonic wake and my Lord have mercy what a boat so I'm watching your videos and I'm gaining information and much appreciated I love it I'll be signing up take care bro! 🙂
Big B I took out my Sonic wake V2 today for the first time it doesn't steer to the left good at all have any tips. and see filled up with water also.🤔
You can try dropping the left turn fin down deeper than the right side. Also I've noticed I get a better left turn with my Cg back, unfortunately with the cg moved back the boat tends to run really dry at high speeds.
@@IRONCLADRC Ill try that. ive taken out the Oxidean Min Dominator she runs pretty good 45 MPH with his 36mm Prop. It was a little choppy out. Im thinking maybe 50 in smooth water
hey B how does the x645 from dasboata run on the sonicwake?
I'm sure it runs good 👍
I just ordered the 4519 oxidean for my v1 Sonicwake. How does it compare to the stock prop, heat wise and speed wise? I’m learning about props and i wanted one that was going to run cooler than stock, can you recommend a good one I can run 4s and 6s on with no worries of heat? And my xt90 connectors get very hot, like 180-190 with stock setup on 6s. Is that normal?
The 4519 is a great prop top end and low Temps 👌
@@IRONCLADRC thanks sir, Been in rc for 20 years and this is my first boat. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m still learning a lot about boating. I enjoy your videos 👍
Now I just need to figure out my hot battery connectors, can barely touch them to unplug them.
Hey big b, what's your take on this setup on the big storm.
3660 3250kv
4s 5200 100c
FC 150a
32mm 3 blade cnc prop
Everything looks good, I'd consider a lower kv motor just in case you want to prop up later on. (2500 2700kv ish) with a 42mm prop. That's what I'd do anyway.
@@IRONCLADRC awesome man thanks for the response. Hey, I'll consider a lower kv motor for shizzle but what's your favorite prop on this motor? If I reckon, you used this motor on the BJ24.
For Speed runs oxidean 42 high rake one run and stop prop. General boating Tfl 440 or 438, Octura m440 another one id consider consider
@@IRONCLADRC you really do say things twice haha you're the best b. Stay safe I'll keep you posted.
Can u give me the link where to buy the tool to open those 2 screws to keep the prop in place? Thanks.

Are you running 4s or 6s with these props? Seems like 6s to me but not sure..thanks
Running 6s in this video
@@IRONCLADRC cool...so what's your best guess if you were running 4s on what prop that would get you 55mph and good hole shots? Maybe a 48mm with a 1.4 pitch? Or more or less prop? Thanks..I am trying to setup my big cat with best prop..unfortunately I don't have a massive collection ..thanks for all your work..
The oxidean .19 aren’t 1,9 pitched. It’s actually a very low pitch prop. It’s a labled TfL.19 series prop. And the TfL is a copy from Graupner „k“ Carbon plastic series. Very efficiency props. But not the fastet.
Yep your 100% correct, the pitch wraps around the hub more than a genuine 1.9.. alot less aggressive but great for electronics temp wise
Hi there all..
I am still searching for a 45mm, 1.9 in pitch diameter custom propeller by Dasboata that applicable to my Sonicwake 36 V2. Wondering if yall has the used ones or probably any extras that you willing to sell off and ship it outside of the US if possible.
Just give me your best offer so that I can figure it out and may considering it. Let me know in this comment.
Any help, response would be great. Thanks
Which prop would u say is the best to run?
Oxidean 4519 and octura 4216
I bought a octura 447.2 for my sonic wake v2. Will it get out the whole.
Yea it should. Watch heat closely
I will. I am also gonna drill the hull to 6mm for the cooling. I just feel like wants it's moving it flies. Just want a little more out the hole. I don't run at full throttle all the time.
Gonna put the stock prop from the v2 on my black jack. Lol
Oh yea that 447 will be the ticket. Detounged even better faster cooler running
I mostly use ABC props now days but try an m445 on them and see what you get. I would also try an ABC 1714 and 1814.
I've got a m545, I love that prop. My favorite octura is my m447 cut down to 45mm. I love that prop. 👊
@@IRONCLADRC gotcha. ABC props are th** now days. I've been in fe since it started. Honestly on the sonic wake at being 36in boat I would try an 1914-17-45 I bet your mph numbers will go up
I just hit 66mph today with the stock electronics and a 1716 that I prepped myself
Amazing brother @ironclad rc ..65!! Thats the numbers man, just ordered an ABC 1716 today and a couple of packs of 100C 5000mah.
What the secret sauce for prep on the 1716 @ironclad RC ? Just some normal fairing, polish and balancing?? no cupping or heavy shape filing?
The octura 642 performed well
It's one of my go to props for the v2 & v1
@@IRONCLADRC nice, gonna have to pick one up. When I received my v1 it came with a 40mm prop on it. I thought that it listed a different on on the box. What did yours come with??
42mm
If you drop anything solid state in the water. IMMEDIATELY pull the batteries! Then dry it out. :)
Thanks for the tip brother.
@@IRONCLADRC :)
Water resistant is just a marketing term... Hell a bag of chips is water resistant lol
Throw that radio in a bowl of rice for a day
I herd silica packs work pretty good too.
We wana see this boat hit 60+😬
63 mph run with the v2. th-cam.com/video/3o0lmPCrVgk/w-d-xo.html
Interesting test. But the „oxidean 4519“ hasn’t 1.9 pitch. Actually they are 1.3~. That’s TfL hobby props and copy’s of „Graupner K props“. Very high efficiency. But never 1.9.
compare them to Graupner k.
Thanks for that information. To me it actually looks like 1.3 or 1.4 pitch prop with a stretched surface area wrapped around the hub giving it a little more aggressive bite than say a true 1.3p propeller..... Very similar in look to the tfl 3519 (or is it the 3419?) 4mm prop....
I've owned a couple 1.9 p props, and your right they look nothing alike.
You kinda confirmed my thoughts. Thanks
@@IRONCLADRC
Some of your tested props has a better performance if you would eliminate lift by changing strut angle. Eliminate lift makes the boat run dryer because the pressure on the bow is reduced. this in turn reduces the current and thus the temperature and of course increases the speed. So adjust strut angle (and trim tabs if available) with each prop. then every prop has a "fair" chance to show what he can do.
4 blade prop? 😮
Almost impossible to find a 4 blade 3/16 bore prop. Personally I like 2 blade props for absolute speed. 3 blade props for out the hole acceleration. 4 blade props cavitate
So why don’t you run bigger batteries? I can’t stand running 5000 mah cause you get no run times. All I run in every boat is 9000 mah 100c batteries. Get like 12-14 minutes run time
I just got a 9500 90c cnhl. And I have
2 MAX AMPS 5450 120c otw
Personally I like the lighter packs, due to handling light boats handle better than a heavier boat
@@IRONCLADRC gotcha!! I have noticed you don’t do too many high speed runs. My lake is about 3 times the length of yours so we need a lot of run time cause we make huge laps and on the straights nothing but WOT with big props haha
@@jaycevessier7554 we need to see some videos of the big pond , big battery runs bro
@@norcalrc I know man, I’ve been telling Big B I’m gonna upload some videos of me and the neighbor running but I always forget to get some footage

Changed to Dynamite 120 AMP, REPLACED )garbage V2 version of strut, and rudder to a Veles 29 unit, with dual water pickups , and better bearings. UPDATED , and beefed up Flex cable.

NEED to Blueprint the runners. FROM there? Replace the motor, that can handle the higher current, and and update to a CNC 43 mm. prop 2.0 pich. I smell giddy up, I also want to find an outfit , who can sharpen the prop. It's a pretty sweet ride, now; But I'm looking forward to the 6th. gear.
Its alot of work but very rewarding sounds like your on the right track. If I could recommend 1 thing for your set up would be a tfl 438. It sounds silly but it's a great prop for the boat. Should get you into the 50s plus easily, with out blueprinting... just my advise
Right now, I am sort of in a weird place, Trying get a simple question answered , regarding a specific prop, and get a loop. FROM "OFF Shore Electrics." A CNC 42-43 MM prop , having a 3/16 " bore, wouldn't work? according to them. I don't understand that. I am running a small diameter , Grim racer. AND it fits fine, along with the Black 29 Bigger prop. 1.6" , 2.06 . , So, again, I don't get where they are going? with this ? So, I am glad you mentioned the 438? Is it already "tuned," or do I have to mess it? I have an event this weekend, so I would prefer , " THE Drag and drop approach . In the mean time, where can I get a hold of the prop, you mentioned? I have my test run on Saturday, then the event this coming Sunday, so I don't have a lot of time to test. WOULD that prop be available through AMAZON? Thanks, for all your amazing, and informative videos.
AND , course, have great day at the lakes. I look forward, to your response,
Thanks, in Advance, Mark -
I just looked at the 438. It's practically the mirror to the Grim racer, I am running now. ? two mm, smaller, but a steeper pitch. Can I prop up, say to a 40, or a 42" , of that prop.... if that makes sense? Have you tested a bigger prop on the Black Jack?
Product ID tfl-5b11x40
In Stock 4
TFL 440 propeller, 40mm diameter
Specs:
Diameter: 40mm (1.58")
Pitch: 56.13mm (2.21")
Metal: Copper
Rotation: Left hand. These spin counter clockwise when looking at them from the back of the boat.
Fits smooth bore, 3/16" with drive dog.
Note: Picture represents a propeller than has been polished. These props require balancing and finishing.
Price: $9.95. THE price is definitely right? IT's COPPER, so what about durability? I'm going from Balanced Stainless steel, to this? THE pitch , is definitely more radical, and is actually higher than the Black 29 prop. Interesting . THE only caveat, is they aren't finished, and I don't the time to get them "tuned." Unless , you have a local source? I'm in Minneapolis.
Yea the 440 and 438 are great! the 443 is way to big it torq rolls the boat some kinda bad. I've also used and octura 638 but it also torqued the boat pretty bad but was controllable
Corrosion x time !!!
I was so tempted oh man you have no idea. Lol. I sprayed corrosion X the dynamite GPS I may do the dx5. (I'm is a scared 😱 )lol

Ope, what happened to my comment...

@@IRONCLADRC I'm not sure, I made a comment about the prop testing and its gone. Anyway great video and the gist of the comment was new boaters throwing Oxidean props on and burning their boat down.
IRONCLAD EVERYTHING EVEN YOUR RADIO EH! HOPE YOUR RADIO DRYS OUT OK. SUCKSESS LOL.
Dx-5 Rugged is water resistant not water proof🥲I bought the DX5c because of that and for the price it should be waterproof🤬
