newbie needs help on huge r/c boat

[Myles]

hey, that prop is 65mm in diameter. but its plastic and a blade is broken so its pretty crappy! the shaft is 5mm in diameter and is threaded slightly. the rudder is broken and ive removed it but it was just a rectangle of metal; 45x60mm.

cheers

Wow thats a huge prop!,,, from what I figure 65mm = 2.56",,, I saw metal Dumas props at Tower Hobbies, but the biggest I see are 2 inch,,, and you would hafta carefully drill out the hole for the shaft from 3/16" to 5mm. By the way, do you know what rotation you are gonna use?,,, from looking at the prop, clockwise or anticlockwise?,,, We've gotta check other Scale boat sites

hey, well i tried the boat out today with the prop just melted into shape! and no steering! but the blade finally snapped then the prop came totally off!!

rotation is clockwise i believe

what good scale sites are there?/
