Everything I'm looking up for about RC boating since I'm pretty new into it has always seem to land me here at this channel, which I'm learning a ton from so thanks so very much! I really appreciate how in depth absolutely everything is, really helps me out!
Seriously entertaining while increasing my knowledge of just what's happening under the water, wetter, dryer running boat is now firmly locked into my vernacular BigB from my hart I thank you 🧑🦽BB
Great vid! My boat’s are collecting dust for a few years now but what you are saying is pretty on point with my findings! it looks like we’re very like minded, I’ve built an uncountable number over the years and even made my own prop’s but last few years ive been cutting the hobby back to minimal only having 8 boats left now I’ve sold off a fair bit of stuff, watching on the tube makes me want to get em out again. Ps glad you pointed out safety with ppe that dust is deadly! and some other alloys aren’t as bad as berilium but still don’t want to breathe them
Dude!, nice work! To actually show the boats behavior.... f@kn killer. Been watching my boats and know what I saw. Now I understand what I saw! I will atleast have an idea where to start.👍🤙
Cupping the tips of the blades keeps the thrust cone tighter n IMO Makes the prop more efficient that's the kind of props that make a long low roster tail n that is what u want .
Interesting video. How do you think about the speed calculator (like on OSE site) as a guide? Found that my best performing boat (stepped v-hull) is near those those marks, lets say less then 5km/h... One of my other monos (carbon v, no steps) is way more off, so i am thinking there maybe something wrong with it. Maybe i am looking for speed that isn't there. Any opinions on that?
What a great video. This will surely help alot of us rc boaters. QUESTION : Can you do a video on balancing a 3 blade prop. I have been told everything below the horizontal line. What if you have 2 blades below horizontal? Do you do them both at the same time? HELP !! TY Tony
The lowest one is the heavier blade so it will need more taken off than the higher blade. That's one of the reasons I don't use 3 blades anymore. Hard to balance
Any idea what size prop is on the boat currently? If I had to guess, I'd start with a 40 mm tfl prop even 1.4 pitch. Or step up the pitch and drop size maybe a octura x637
This little tutorial, together with your identification video (th-cam.com/video/fTOAubwUsZQ/w-d-xo.html) are the most useful and informative I've ever seen on the much debated subject of props. Forget all that technical and theoretical BS, this is totally practical. Awesome stuff founded on years of experience and experimenting. Thanks so much for sharing Big B 👌👊
Yes sir I was very hesitant to making this video about propellers and what they do! I know how there are huge debates about the topic In the forums & was "scared" the hear the comments on and opinions of others. That being said I really appreciate the kind words and enthusiasm thanks for watching brother..
@@IRONCLADRC So here's a challenge for you bro! A little video on a simple way to measure prop pitch if it's not known. I've been looking and all I can find is stuff about full size props which seems very technical and not sure it translates well to RC boat props. What you reckon?
The props you compared have different blade net areas. May be you should check this single assembly shaft and prop. th-cam.com/video/_4C4_rO30dQ/w-d-xo.html #13 tutorial: how to make a thailand propeller for 480/540 motor.
Over the last 4 videos on props and trim tabs.. I think I figured out why my boat is so slow on 4S now 😆 Thanks brother!

Welcome aboard! BG4L
Helps me out a bunch thanks

My goodness! What a great video! Really good! Thank you! I will watch it over and over again !
Big B you the man! Thanks for all you do…your knowledge is priceless
FANTASTIC INFO, IT GIVES US A DIRECTION AND TARGET TO AIM FOR. THANKS.

I appreciate the info. Get the fastest prop that keeps tie stern down. Love it!
Dude!, nice work! To actually show the boats behavior.... f@kn killer.

I will atleast have an idea where to start.👍🤙
Thank you for this content and all theses information. They are hard to find. So thank you so much.
Very informative and helpful video! Maybe the next episode about propeller operation - sharpening, balancing, maintenance, necessary tools?
Cupping the tips of the blades keeps the thrust cone tighter n IMO Makes the prop more efficient that's the kind of props that make a long low roster tail n that is what u want .
This will help me so much, awaiting a esc right now
Great video! Now how about showing us how to balance and sharpen the prop?
Great suggestion!
A High rake prop lifts the Bow . N a low rake prop lifts the stern . Both create lift but n different ways!
Great video very useful 👍thanks
You have helped me understand rc boating so much more with your videos anytime I had a issue your videos helped me figure it out . 🤘🏼🤘🏼

круто. спасибо. очень крутой материал!
Cool
I have been teying so hard to tame my gieco.36 and i wish i could just find the right props...

Doesn't matter if it's a 3 blade or a 2 blade high rake prop lifts the bow low rake prop lifts the stern
Hello,
What about 2 or 3 blades ?
Thx
Nice upload schedule (just kidding upload whenever)
I have 3660 brushless motor..is it suitable to use 40mm propeller on it?
Oh ye that's about the right size prop
Question please, if my propeller changed from 7.8x8 to 7.7x7 how would it affect thrust and speed? Will greatly appreciate
You shouldn't see much change, really depends on the shape of the prop. First run out check your Temps
@@IRONCLADRC thanks
Thanks for this video
Where do you buy yours propos ?
Offshore electrics
Does the diameter of the propeller matter?
Yes sir
What is your prop tester?
Tru-spin prop balancer by dubro
Do you guys know what material is best for props?
I've found beryllium makes for a strong propeller, then copper or brass
@@IRONCLADRC thx
Hey ! advise me a screw to increase the speed if possible. Proboat shockwave 26, batteria 3s. thanks in advance
Any idea what size prop is on the boat currently? If I had to guess, I'd start with a 40 mm tfl prop even 1.4 pitch. Or step up the pitch and drop size maybe a octura x637
@@IRONCLADRC prop 40 mm, 2 blade. Speed 40 - 45 km/h.
Should get you 40. Tfl or octura would work.
@@IRONCLADRC Hey! tell me a site or a couple of links where you can see the screws? thanks in advance

Surface drives,, only way to go, lol
im going to grab a UL19 prop and toss it on the SW v2. should have a nice thrust cone. Will need to keep track of temps!
It's a great prop for the SonicWake you should be able to get 55-60 with the right battery combination
such a useful clip regarding boat propellers (y)
The props you compared have different blade net areas.
May be you should check this single assembly shaft and prop.
