Maybe its better like this because it doesnt lug the motor, I believe I can go up at least 1 or 2 pitches and it should still have plenty power, this thing gets out the hole pretty quick you just have to back out the throttle not to over rev it?? what yall think leave it or change props??
Is it a aluminum prop or stainless? For your information for every degree you go up/down you will gain/loose 200rpms. 6400 is way to high,needs to be around 5500.
