    Need help with a Prop Problem

    I have a 43" mono converted from gas to electric running a 1/4" shaft. *!** Well, there is NOTHING available the smaller size I need that accommodates a large 1/4" opening. *!** So my 12S rig still gets a little too hot even running on 6S2P. *!**dont get me wrong.. It hauls on 6S, but *!**I really need to run a smaller prop so I can experiment further. *!**I really want to be able to go up on voltage. *!**

    Is there an adapter or something ? *!** I feel like my only option is to keep boring out the holes larger like i did on the last one. *!**Even still the prop is too big.

    I have plastics I can try drilling go guess. Ive never build so I wouldn't know what to do if i tried to change out the shaft.. *!**I think mine is something like a 50mm now. *!**and It seems It needs to be smaller. *!** running the Swordfish Pro 300A Lite 4-16S I believe. *!** and a TP 1050kv. *!** *!**Esc stays cool, but motor and motor wires are hot!

    Thanks for any advice guys

    Get a 1/4" to 3/16" step down shaft so you can use the 3/16 bore props
