All,
I am new to the website. Just registered today. Been doing FE boats for a while now and am expanding my horizons to learn more. Figure this is a great place to start.
I have two MRP fountains and am converting one to Brushless. I took the original drive system apart last night and want to keep the direct drive shaft. However, I do want to replace the prop and add a decent drive dog and shaft end cap. Here's my problem, the Shaft measures .138 in. Diameter. I am looking to find a decent Octura prop - maybe around 2 in pitch but none appear to be made for a 0.138 in dia. shaft. I know the MRP is way since defunct but is there a vendor that can supply a prop for this shaft? The motor will fit perfect with the curent shaft and coupler and all I'll need to get is a decent replacement rudder system.
BTW - I am using a 50A 2-7S ESC with a 2100Kv motor (8-18V). Figure I'll run a single 4S, 5,000mah battery to start with.
