What prop for 8s scale hydro?

[mike farrell]

I converted my 1/8th scale hydro from cmb 67 to 850 kv 8s and it weighs 14.5 lbs I was told my nitro props were to big was running x457-3 any body out there know what would be a good prop?

R/C Unlimiteds has props limited to 57mm, no restriction on pitch. IIRC, this was more to keep speeds comparable to nitro powered boats more than anything else so.....................

A X457/3 is not too far off depending on how stout the motor is. Most of the legal Scale motors should be able to push that prop without too much current.
