Possible change in plans

no you don't

Saleens, I have two sets of cf props, 40mm r+l and 48mm r+l, also a receiver pack w/switch. If you'd like to have either, you can have them free of charge. I'm with the other guys, if I have parts lying around that I'm not going to use I'd rather give them to someone who needs them. Besides, you seem like a pretty good guy to me.

.....i dont know what to say.....suddenly everyone is offering me free parts.....uuhhh.....sorry, but i cant keep accepting them....im sure there is someone out there that needs them more than me...i would actually feel guilty if i keep accepting them...so sorry, but no...

[RMZDADDY]

I understand completely, good luck with your projects Saleens:)

myself and alot of other adults just buy stuff to have then the lady starts b*tchen about the junk in the house so its just easier to give it away. them u can buy more stuff and say i got rid of all that other stuff.

[saleens7]

i dont think i can use a flex cable with this...the outdrives are for 4mm shafts...and although there are flex cables that will fit that size, i dont know where to find a flex shaft w/ a 4mm prop shaft....i think what ill do is use a 5mm to 4mm connector and then use a 4mm solid shaft going to the outdrives and connect to a U-joint and then two two of those 4mm to 3/16 shafts steven has.....ill just use two of those graupner 4mm to 4mm U joints....they are better quality and run smoother than the traxxas ones...

exactly! Maybe I should send him a couch too, I cant think of any other way to get rid of it. Yeah so you're getting outdrives and a couch. Then I can put more shelves in for all my new s%*t.

Thats some fine parenting. I wish more kids where looked after as well. Saleens maybe askin your mom to talk to us when we offer to give you things will help. I totaly agree with what she is doing. Very smart.

read this the villan out drive may be the same size http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ight=blackjack

[saleens7]

it could be....i just hope the clearence between the hull and where the flex shaft would enter the outdrive is wide enough....too little space and wont be enough room for the flex shaft to be able to turn as far as the outdrive will...

[Quicksilver]

You could always put spacers in to make the drive sit out further. The normal villain u-joint is a bit over 1 and 1/4" long. I dont know much a all about flex shafts, but that blackjack outdrive doesnt look much different than these. I might make templates before I send them out, in case you need some more custom parts.

btw I already finished the backing plates, real simple you'll just have to epoxy them to the inside of the hull and buy some nuts and bolts to put em together.

also yeah it is good your mom is cautious, I'll tell what, I was nervous as an adult picking up a jet drive in person from another person online. Never can be sure, luckily I'm about a 1000miles away so no worries for your mother. Your parts will coincidently most likely be shipped in a OFE box :).

[Jeepers]

no gearbox...just direct drive...i know i wont be able to prop it up as much, but im guessing ill atleast be in the 40+mm range...considering it will only turn 22,000 rpms....

how many cells you plan on using?

[Quicksilver]

besides cells, what motors? I just searched the thread, 19t trinity motors? Wont that be awful hot on direct drive?

[saleens7]

uh....twin (brushless) 9L's on 7cells each...
