Unfortuntaly I won't be leaving the Island this year to attend any of the events. Sigh....

 

I know. Buit still I will be going. The Sodak won't be coming. The bent shaft is plaguing it. Of course I need to have a threaded end for the prop but I dont have the ability to put a thread on.

 

You could always whip up a set of homemade shafts with props. I have a spare set when I redid my Arizona. They were easy to make, I also soldered the prop to the shaft. I figured if it came out it would have to come ALL the way out and I might catch it. The problem with a screwed shaft is you should have a replacement at all times because most people won't have one to lend you. Locktite, pin or solder the end so the prop doesn't come off on a rock, ect...

 

Hey Paul talk to Jat I think he has a tap and die set for that. what size shafts do you need?

 

That I am not sure. I believe they are battlers shafts. I think they are 1/8th of an inch.

 

Did battler's sell them threaded or did you thread them? Battlers are 1/8 if they are standard sodak shafts.

 

I believe they were sold threaded. I had purchased the hull and the shafts were already installed.

 

Talk to Jay Paul he may be able to help you out.
