    Hello,
    I was wondering about the drive setup for the motor. I was thinking about using a standard 550 motor and the 1 1/2" prop, but with the prop, should a 3 or 4 blade prop be used, and what pitch? I was planning on buying the hardware for my Waldeck-Rousseau build rather than hand making it my first time around. Thanks for the help.
    Cheers,
    Garrett

    Edgar Quinet is 550 direct drive to a 1.5" 4-blade flat pitch prop, running at 6V. To do it, you'd need to buy a set of 'dogbones' or the coupler that Battler's Connection sells.
