Post Average hours on prop?
What is an average amount of hours yalls props last? I have only had my motor in mud a couple of times but can already see a ton of difference. I know that what u run in dictates the amount. Just looking for an average.

Mudmotors, not sand motors.

You can burn a prop in just a couple of hours if you run onto a sandy bottom.

I run in water that is normally 1+ feet deep, my prop has 50 or so hours with no signs of wear.

I have been in deep mud mostly. Deep enough to put the trim all the way down and gas on it. Some sand tho. Just wondering how many hours I should be getting.

135ish hours on my original GTR wheel. Never ran much sand, mostly mud and veggies. I have about .25" missing. It still runs decent in the deep but in the mud it isnt biting near as hard as a new prop did.. Once you lose the .25" its time for a prop.

It's my stock gt prop. Only 8 hrs on it. I haven't lost much speed but i can tell that it is smaller.

It is still running pretty good! Still pushes good and gets up pretty quick. May have lost a little speed but o well.

Post Re: Average hours on prop?
Since ive never wore down each and every wheel i cant be absolutely sure but i believe the gt wheel is the thinnest of them all. what your sayin about the pd wheel is that once the cup alone is gone is aint worth a crap? my gt wheel almost comes stock with hardly any cup

Once that little stupid tip they put on the wheel loses the cup it has in it the wheel is junk you get it now or ou need a diminstration. Just cuz a prop is thinner doesn't mean nothin its all in the design
