[rc.hackmaster]

somewhere i saw something about carbonfibre props? does andrew carry them yet? do they make them in right hand?

rc- I think you might of saw Graupner Carbon filled props???? I checked with Hobby Lobby, they didn't list any rh ones, just lefties in either 4MM thread or 3/16 dog props, I bought a few of these early on, but I am not much into them,,,, maybe the graupner site in germany may carry more than say hobby lobby, and I would check with andy first anyway,,,,,,sorry couldn't be more help

im looking for ones for a 1/8" shaft

[eddieh]

Avenger, I saw your comments on one of the other forums looking for a prop, I don't know, I guess mrp, and Danvo sells the 1/8 shaft size (plastic) if I want to use a particular prop and it comes in only 3/16, it is very easy to just cut a piece of brass tube (or pieces) and put them inside the 3/16 prop till it's down to an 1/8, now don't take this as gospel, because I don't feel I have that much experience to play with other peoples money, but I have done this for years without any problems, I only use plastic props for testing , and then I will buy a metal one for the real deal, (it's cheaper to have plastic props collecting dust) anyway, out by me the plastics are a couple a bucks, where a metal is anywhere from 9-17 bucks, I don't own a danvo, so I am not sure about the setup etc, but Octura sells some pretty good props, There are some real experts on this site, (I am not one of them) but for my money, the gent who was offering advice on an Octura metal prop sounded good to me, I have run my 1 step hydro, direct drive, stock motor, on a 632, lot's of lift, good prop, I gather from the previous conversation you don't need as much lift so I think the guy was right on the money with a x427/430... anyway that's my 2 cents worth, :)

how would i do that? w/ the tubing, can i get tubing that slides right into eachother?

[eddieh]

avenger, usually I use K & S tubing, they make a size, (can't remember exactly, when you get old memory is the second thing to go ) that will slide into a 3/16 prop, look in a catalogue or hobby shop it will say 3/16 o.d. the od is outside diameter, it should also say ID inside diameter, then cut the tube so it stops short of your drive dog, voila, instant 1/8 prop, good luck, cheers ed
