I love it! How fast does that sucker go?

[Russ2251]

15 mph

[gocartkid]

Cool! Why was it discarded? Were there issues with the design?

[Russ2251]

Why was it discarded? Were there issues with the design?Wasn't literally discarded, just wasn't a great performer. No issues with design, just needs more power w/larger prop.
Larger engines I got, prop I need is over $300.00.

[oscaryu1]

Wow... that's a hecka creation!

[2or3wheels]

where did u get a prop like that?

[Russ2251]

Local hobby shop. Quite common on large scale r/c aircraft.

[gocartkid]

Russ is right on where to get one....I had a grandfather that was REALLY into these things...I need to get some pics of his stash.

[sayre315]

russ what the name of the store and how much was the prop?

[jr dragster Tyler]

It doesnt realy matter the name of the store. Alot of hobby shops will carry props of that size. And there not too expensive (under 100$)

[Russ2251]

what the name of the store and how much was the prop?Larry's Hobby Supply. I don't recall price.

[sayre315]

do you think hobby lobby would have one?

[sayre315]

do you think hobby lobby would have them?

[Kenny_McCormic]

Go check.

[gocartkid]

Yup, that's the only way to find out.

[kibble]

Or give 'em a call! :arf:

[Russ2251]

I don't recommend doing this. Has ability to sever limbs or kill instantly.

You make it sound soooo pleasant! Which reminds me, I was thinking of using some sort of fan, not a prop, as a load to test the LB once it's done.

[Russ2251]

I hope you're kidding.

[kibble]

Well, what would you suggest as a load? Or should I just bolt it onto the kart right away and test it that way?

[Russ2251]

should I just bolt it onto the kart right away and test it that way?Of coarse. Needs to be adjusted for your butt, not a fan!!!

[kibble]

Of coarse. Needs to be adjusted for you're butt, not a fan!!!

No, my butt is not COARSE, it's as smooth as a baby's butt! and I believe you meant: "your butt". :roflol:

[sayre315]

i made a prop outa 4 knives and put it on a 5k rpm weedeater and trew stuff at it and let it cut the stuff i threw

that would be cool though

[jr dragster Tyler]

Or put the engine on a crank shaft dyno for a load.
