So i just picked up a used mini v. Im looking to keep it cheap (under $100) I would like to stay brushed maybe a 480 but i still gotta find a reasonable ESC. Im not running Lipo. Anyway Im keeping the outdrive but i just want to change the prop shaft.

Now i just need a prop. Any suggestions. (Please link)
you think i could get away with the unsharpened one? and is the prop shaft right?
No. It will need to be balanced.
I used a 1/8 prop shaft (the one you list is a 4mm - slightly bigger in the strut or outdrive then reduced to 1/8 for the prop)
The one I used was This.
So there im just using the shaft. Do i have to convert to the flex cable when using that shaft?
Ahh. Ok. Use the one you selected, you may have to enlarge the outdrive bore to accept it.
yeah, I was planning to drill out anyway to accept the 5/32" copper tube
You're good then!!
Thanks a ton!
I run a 430 or 431 on mine stock, plastic.
I use an octura 1/18" prop shaft and replace the u joints with .093 flex cable, but keep the 3mm solid drive shaft. Cheap conversion that way, I had to do 6 of them!

Ordered up the prop and the shaft along with a new u joint. Mine was all rusted. had to drill it out to get the old prop shaft out. Looks like its staying this way for now but i wanna run the mini car hardware in the future. I found it on there website, i just gotta pair it all up.
