Default 08 top gun props?

I am sure this has beed discussed countless times but I have an 08 tg with 525,s the 30 bravo's are hitting the rev limiter and when i put on 32's the port blows out trying to come on plane. The dealer owes me an extra set of stock props do you guys think the 30 maximus 5 blades would pick up top end drop the rpm and quit blowing out. I know I am asking for a lot. PS i have full cabin with 12v a/c 4 batteries and big stereo so I am a little heavier than some. Thanks!

The stock Maximus does not work well on anything. They have huge blade diameter and are extremely hard on Bravo drives. Basically, when you get an out of the box Maximus, you are buying raw stock. They do work very well when labbed for the application.

I would call Throttle Up and talk to them about props. And just a little side note that Donzi does Very well in some chop with those 700's.

Have your props or another set "Flat bladed". You'll gain some speed and you should be off the rev limiter.

Brett @ Bblades know what Flat Bladed is and how to do it. He can also do some tip work that will keep the prop hooked up while coming up on plane.
