    Does any one know where I could get props for a Kitakami?
    Where do you get props in general?

    Battlers Connection makes good props. Certainly good enough for a cruiser like the Kitakami. They come in pairs, resulting in less than half the cost per prop. As for what props you need, what kind of motors are you using?

    I'm not sure, I got it secondhand from Joe and haven't been able to dissect it.

    The 25 degree props are best.
    The more pitch the more speed you can get. But we are limited in speed. The lower the pitch the better acceleration you have and that’s what we want.

    Okay, I took off the props. When I get home I'll measure them and post a pic.

    Measure them with calipers if you have any.
