8mm to 3/16 collets

[iamandrew]

Hi everyone, just wondering if theres any prefference in the 8mm to 3/16 collets?
theres a few on OSE but they have two screws going in sideways?
anyone in australia? i only need one or two, and postage is expensive

I like the Kintec 2pc. stainless version (less rotating mass). The Octura is good, but lots heavier. Be sure to tighten both of these well or they will slip.http://kintecracing.com/Collets_Couplers.html

yeah i was checking that out before, i realised that ive been sent the 8 to 1/4 instead of the 3/16
i was a bit worrieed that there isnt enough surface area connecting with the flex cable, , but 3 peice collets are so hard to get off!

I have used the 2pc stainless version without problems so far (turning Octura m447 prop, Neu 1527 .5y 2500kv motor, 4s lipo power) . I made sure collet was tightened well.

HIJACK! How do you like this motor? I have a 1D. Goes like hell but it's kind of a hog. I was actually thinking a 1530/.5y might be just right.

Doesn't H&M make a really nice 8mmx3/16 collet? I could swear I had one of those.

Even if it is nice i dont really need much else at the moment, so buying one from them might not be worth it.
its so hard to read their site even when translated for english

[T.S.Davis]

Yeah, it is tough. I did find the collet on their site that I was remembering. They really are nice. I don't know if anyone in the states is carrying their stuff these days. I think Fine is still importing from H&M but if he doesn't have one on the shelf who knows when you'll see it.

The Kintec Collets have been the best for me
