Hi guys! I'm normally an R/C car guy, as you may be able to tell from my SN, but I purchased a Kyosho Speed Vee 800 to try R/C boating. It's really cool! Right now I'm running a Trinity Chameleon Pro 2 motor and 2400 packs with a Novak Super Rooster ESC.

Anyways, I'm planning on doing the water-cooled upgrade with the Kyosho cooling coil, brush coolers and the tubes, but I'm wanting a better prop too. I remember on the box, it showed that you could get a 3-blade prop and a metal 2-blade. Anyone know where I could get these, and how they would make my boat perform better?

The only upgrade props I have ever seen listed for the SV800 are the blue plastic 38x1.2 and I tried them. Boat went slower. I run a Kyosho X-Stock 14T in mine with all the cooling stuff and 6, 7, or even 8 cells and the red plastic prop has been the best so far. Kyosho doesn't even make a metalprop, do they?

You can get othe brands. Octura, for example. They are metal.
