Props Needed

[thething84]

Hi all.

i need some large props shafts, either M4 or M5 but need to be able to get a 35mm prop to fit it.

the stuffing tube for the prop shaft needs to be 12" in lenght. I have found the ballraced prop shafts which are long enough for what i want, but cannot find a 35mm propeller with a M5 thread. any ideas

Cheers James

For a master list of suppliers, both in the U.S. and overseas, please go to
"The Dromedary Ship Modelers Center" and scroll down to Ship Modeling Faq. Question 101-B
This will give you a complete list of suppliers for both kits and hardware, Maybe
you can find a supplier in the UK. I know I have seen some suppliers in the list in the UK.

Have a word with Allan at http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/ (Somerset) He has just about everthing for electric boats.

thanks all. i can get the ball raced racing props from ebay which are 16 quid for a 20 inch one. which is plenty long enough. also get the steady bit for 3 quid. problem is i need two per boat. and i have two boats. lol.

the shaft for the robbe najade is about the right length, m4 as well :)

[thething84]

well astecmodels should be able to sort me out with an m4 one that length. or brinette can do a prop with an m5 thread in it.

[green-boat]

PropShop will put whatever thread or hole in a prop that you want, custom work. I just got 2- 1.9" kort props threaded for 10-32, they normally come with a M4 or M5 thread.

[thething84]

oh right. i didn't know thaat. lol. cheers for that.
