I am using a Octura x-437/3 blade prop and I think that the overall performance is so much better than the x-440 which I have tried. I am having a x-440/3 blade reworked to the dia. of the x-437, but it will have more pitch than the standard x-437/3. The 3 blade prop utilizes the engine power better. There is also less strain on the cheap u-joint than with a 2 blade prop. I need specific information about a water pump, pics, etc. I have modifed the water pick-up and I am not convinced that it really helps much. Also glueing deck rails and the air horn from a Villan on the NV look great... with out those nasty decals of course! Making the holes larger on the baffles inside the muffler and going with larger exhaust pipe really helps out on the top end and it sounds awesome, plus more water is ejected out the exhaust thus, letting things cool more.
