      Hi Chaps

      I am just about to fit the propeller to my first r/c model drifter and I am in a quandary as I don’t know how to proceed. I think I need to place a thrust washer on the drive first and then the locking nut and finally the prop its self. Should there be a definite distance between the thrust washer and the nut? and should I put a drop of "lock-nut" on the shaft before screwing all up tight?

      I would appreciate any help given Boger

        Hi Roger,

        Yes, you should use a thrust washer, just place it on the shaft followed by your locking nut, do this so it just backs up to the washer.  use a little Locktite on the thread and screw the prop on, again till it touches the nut, now tighten the nut down onto the prop. This will give just a little free movement of the washer.

        If you do not have an oiling tube fitted to the prop shaft remember to fill the tube with oil before fitting the prop.

        Cheers – Ken

          Thanks a lot Ken I did not want to proceed and then get everything in a mess, I do have an oiling tube on the shaft which I soldered myself. Thanks
