Title: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: DhruvChavan on May 31, 2013, 11:59:58 AM I needed to change some bent shafts, and they are of 3.17mm,
i'm not able to find 3.17mm shafts, 3mm just slips through it, and even hobbyking doesn't seen to have any of those. Help.

Title: Re: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: DhruvChavan on May 31, 2013, 02:28:21 PM i already called rcbazaar. they said none of the shafts available in their shop are 3.17 mm. they have 3mm only.
thr drill bit wont be one complete shaftas it had the cutting edge. Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: veloci on May 31, 2013, 02:31:23 PM It will not affect anything as you can easilty tighten your prop saver or collet spinner.

Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: theleabres on May 31, 2013, 07:40:51 PM get some .062 diameter piano wire from music supply store and make several shafts
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: theleabres on May 31, 2013, 07:42:45 PM it's well known in the RC world and I've done it myself
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 31, 2013, 07:51:52 PM .o62 inch is about 1.6 mm. He needs 1/8" or 10 SWG
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: DhruvChavan on May 31, 2013, 08:58:33 PM i saw on some random page while searching on google,
one guy just put some tape onto the 3mm shaft, slides it in and tightened the small hex screw. Should i try that? Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 31, 2013, 09:08:47 PM Not tape. If you must, use heat shrink sleeving. But try to get it, try getting SS TIG welding rod 1/8"
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: veloci on May 31, 2013, 09:10:31 PM TIG welding rod...Brilliant idea sanjay sir!
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 31, 2013, 09:20:21 PM In SS :D
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: theleabres on May 31, 2013, 10:07:39 PM I meant .125 piano wire. I ordered both .125 and .062 (for small landing gear)
Title: Re: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: DhruvChavan on June 01, 2013, 12:29:06 AM i'll search for the rod. do you think the normal metal work shops who do welding would have them or should i search for online shop?
Title: Re: 3.17mm Motor Shaft Post by: VC on June 01, 2013, 12:33:34 AM Jugaad of the highest order! Any Goras (from rcforums?????) reading this would be non plussed, to say the least.
