Hi, new to rc boats and need some props. Looking to get a few for my TC 31, possibly the octura m445 or the prather s225. My question is whereis the best to order (must ship to Canada)? I would possibly like a place that balences and polishes them as well. thanks

Yannick,

just in your nick of the wood.
Mike Hallam,

send him an email, tell him what you want (sharpened, balance, polished, anything).
you can also give him a call, great guy.
I believe that a Prather 255 for the .32 is too big.

Dan.

Try a Prather 220 instead, really. The M-445/3 was one that we ran across from testing on a TC 31 from out of my prop box. I don't know if anyone else found a better prop for your boat or not.
Mark Sholund, http://www.props4u.com/ also ships to Canada.
Mike Hallam is also in Ontario, not too far from you. I think that he lives in London.

Thanks Ron. I've read many of your post concerning the TC 31/ So you really think the S220 is the way to go? A good, all around prop? I'm not looking to get the highest speeds, just want something descent. thanks again

I only tried the 220 on a Shockwave 36 and it seems to work well. It not only helped with speed on that boat but also helped with the chine-walking problem that SW 36 is known for.
You might have to do a little strut height adjustment to see the best speeds out of the props.

I don't know if you've seen the massive thread in here on the TC 31 or not but there's a lot of info on free to cheap mods for the boat.
