    bj26 prop adapter

    I used the KS Engineering brass tubing #128 and 129 to fit a 3/16 th prop to the 1/8 th inch shaft but the #128 seems sloppy. After balancing the prop, this seems to be unacceptable. Is there a problem with this method and does anyone make a 3/16 th shaft turned down to 1/8 th for the BJ26? Both Octura and Traxxas makes one for the Villain and it seems like there is a lot more BJ26's out there than Villains.

    Let me try this again as it dropped off the radar right away. Not a clue on how the threads are cleaned each day. Thanks for you time.

        What I did was take the brass bushing out of the stock prop and use that as the adapter.

        The stock prop already had a fin snapped so I just used a cigarette lighter to melt the plastic away from the brass.

              What I'm saying is that the stock prop is a 3/16" prop with an adpater for the 1/8" shaft.

              Just take the adapter out of the stock prop to use with your new 3/16" prop. I did this to use my Octura X642 Prop.

                Okay, now I follow you. I didn't notice an adapter in the stock prop, Just figured the whole thing was plastic. I'll check it out, Thanks

                  I have the SS tubing for these. I even thread them when using them for 1/8" shafts. Has a set screw hole that your drive dog uses to go to the stub and lock on a flat spot.

                  Have not tried a 4mm version but would make it too thin for threads so you would have to use a wheel collar....which I like anyway.

                  They were designed so people running the step down wire drive prop shafts can go to 3/16" props.

                    Threads are not cleaned, if they are not answered they just go down the list.

                      the shaft on the bj is 3mm. 3mm is .118" inches. The k&s is 1/8" or about .125". hence the bit of slope. It really wont make a great deal or difference. If the slope bothers you, you can wrap a piece of tape on the shaft to take up the space.
