also, I have noticed that they make bravos with a 1.5:1 ratio and a 1.35:1 ratio. Excuse my inexperience, but what is the difference ...I am guessing the 1.35:1 would be higher top end. If any of you answer this by putting .15:1 I am just going to kill you. :drink: :D

the 1.35:1 is if you have alot of HP and run out of pitch sizes on a 1.5:


You are going to need a 23p prop maybe have a little work done to it depending on the HP of the create motor.

That's what you need, just slap an Arneson on there.......and I am retarded when it comes to gear ratios.

Maybe Rik at Arneson has an old #6 at the shop he can sell to you cheap.

Stick with the 1.5:1 you have no need for a 1.35
