Collet question
« on: March 13, 2015, 09:24:01 PM »
does anyone have an idea of where to find a 5mm to 1/4x28 electric motor collet? I've been searching on the web but the few (extremely few) pieces I've found are back ordered. The only one I've been able to find was a 5mm to 5/16x24. I suppose I could just use a 1/4x28 die and rework it but I'd like to just find the right one.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I thought Tower might have some but I see the don't, unless you want the set screw type, which I've tried and didn't care for. I have a few of those. If you want them you can have them. Why don't you use the, Hyperion ADAP-50xl They are a 5mm shaft to a 6mm Threaded shaft that is threaded on the inside to 3mm. These are the most versatile and probably the nicest ones I have found as you can use them with almost any type of spinner you can find or have. RC dude has those in stock. and they are not expensive http://www.rcdude.com/product-p/hp-adap-50xl.htm

Randy,
Aren't you using an E-flite motor?  Their collet is 5mm and 1/4 - 28.  I use the all the time.

E-flite is available at our local hobby shop in Covington.  Hobbytown in Spanaway should have them also.  They are inexpensive and work fine.

Alan,

I'm using a Cobra motor. And I know that E Flight has them but they are current sold out (online, anyway). I order a couple from some outfit call ReadyMade RC, but it's been a week and they haven't arrived. Maybe they will eventually. I will try Hobbytown.

Thanks, guys.
