Even though props stink, I guess it is becoming harder to argue with 87 Octane, 5 years of warranty, and 561 lbs.

I understand that the new technology is the real deal...but the question that hasn't been answered yet is if you put the same 5k prop on a x or an xs...what is the difference in performance? I realize that the gearcase limits the performance on the r unless you use a specific prop....but if you spend the same amount of money on a prop on the x or the xs....is it close in performance?

If you put a newer 4-5 thousand dollar large cleaver on an X or XS would top speed be similar??? Possibly, but it would have to have the torque to get their first and i would think low and mid-range would suck horribly compared to the new 300r. This is the new platform, even the Verado is now going to be limited with its time.

I highly doubt you will ever see someone test a 300R with the big CNC prop and then test a 300XS with the exact same prop in a smaller size.

I will try 1 on my Twister next week with 300x . Will have results with Twister with 300R soon after .

The X struggles to get to rpm with the big 5 blade. It bites a good bit more then the 4 blade DeWalds that I usually run-

Personally unit the 300r has a 1.62 gear or unless someone has a 300x with a 1.75 you cannot get a fair comparison. I can tell you i spin a large 15” 5 blade Dewald however it is a 30p and 1.62. It will turn 7000rpm and have no trouble spinning it up!

I get that. Motors would need the same gear ratio. Kind of like saying can a 300r turn that prop with a 1.62. I think everyone understands you cannot beat cubic inch but it is really a dumb comparison. Motors power/torque curves are too different. Each requires a different set up. No doubt the motors are nice have potential in the future but in the end HP is HP. Just need to put it to the water! I am looking forward the next step for that engine and that is when things will get interesting. However you need a small fortune to buy them.
