New longer shafts for the RC Uboat

[steve nuttall]

First the longer shaft compared to the regular version 50mm added

The hole through the hull under the fairing

Here's how far they go inside the hull; enough for a small diameter coupling

With Prop and fairing

Both sides


They will cost a bit more than the regular
I'll be adding bushings to the outboard shaft supports; and maybe a bearing just inside the hull
I left the hull hole and fairing a bit tight; this way the alignment can be set-up' once the bearings inside the hull are mounted and well glued; I'll open up the fairings and hull hole just a smiggin

Looks like a nice setup.

Looks like a nice setup. Did you turn those shafts yourself?

Will the props that you

Will the props that you just finished be included with the new longer shafts and will the bushings and bearings be available in the future,also are there u-joints available to fit the size shafts that you are producing.
Thanks T.D.

I'm looking at a 3

I'm looking at a 3 part shaft setup; I'll make bogbones like the RC guys use for the final drive to the wheel

I'll have a part on each shaft; the one from the WTC and the outboard shaft; the dog's will join the 2
I can't see just how to get perfect alignement with the final shaft hence the need for Bones

The new Props will be avail soon; I need more cutters for the slots
Tuesday the salesman should bring some more
