Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

I am planning on going for sure. How is your new setup with the motors and such?
Hunter

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

The new set up is great. Have to get another set of props to utilize the power. currently running 17.5 x 31's 5 blades. Probably have to go to 32-33's

Dave is freshening up the old set as back ups.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

What have you seen for speed and how much power are you running again? Just trying to see what we are going to run? Before with 818 and 815 each motor hp we ran 103.4 gps.

The old engines were plus 118. The new ones are to be around 130mph but have to spin larger wheels to get there. Finding another set of props is a winter project.
