no more mbp collets?????

[urbs00007]

Called Rocket City looking for a mbp 8x4.7 collet. They said they cant get them anymore. Anyone have a 8mm to 3/16 " they would be willing to sell to me ? thanks

OSE started carrying MBP stuff a few months ago. Might check with Steven to see if he's planning another order.

What's the deal with these not having a set screw against the motor shaft? Is this an issue for anyone?

I drilled and tapped mine. Didn't trust just the clamping action to hold 10s/2p

Personally, I think a MBP on a 8mm shaft with no flat spot would have a far better grip than a standard collet with a couple set screws on a flat spot.....

Maybe. I just had not seen that before. That's why I asked.

I suppose it's not much different than what happens at the collet end. A mechanical clamp against the flex cable. That's even more sketchy.

previous owner hacked the sh&& out of the shaft

The MBP collets are MUCH more "true" than the "set-screw" type...

This is similar to how RC Plans have done it for years.

Never had a problem with mine on 6s and 8s. Best collet money can buy by a long shot.

I noticed last night that my Octura collete on my P sport was wobbling like a drunken sailor. Swapped it out.

These mbp collets are by far the best collets I've ever tried. I promise if you try one you will like it....a lot.

A set screw is definitely not needed. We've ran these on very high power and heavy setups and never had an issue with the collet spinning on the motor shaft. The collet portion of the coupler (the end that grips the flex) has been know to twist on higher stress setups though.

Honestly I find the mbp collets more reliable. I've had set screws come loose. These have never come loose on me. They are very true running also. Every little bit helps.

I like the fact that I didn't have to maul a flatspot into my expensive Nue motor shaft.

That's a good point too. I myself was very skeptical about it slipping at first with no set screw but I have a 91mph mono, 96mph cat, 97mph cat, 85mph Daytona and a 70+mph cat that each has one and none have ever given me issue.
