      Hi im new to this site and rc boats as a whole. i brought an ansmann pike before x mas and finaly got around to getting it in the water yestarday. well thats were it all went wrong after around 15 seconds i lost all drive. after a nice dip in the thames i got the boat back to find the prop missing, the securing nut was still there though.

      Right as ive had no luck searching and finding out they no longer trade can anyone tell me or post a link to a good replacment prop

      Cheers

          Is this some sort of RTR fast electric? To help give a sensible answer (probably not from me, 'cos I don't do FE) it would be helpful if you could tell us what sort of fitting it has. Size, dog or threaded shaft, metal or plastic, stuff like that. Hopefully its not unique to Ansmann.

            I have googled this boat, and can see it is a fast RTR. The prop sticks out of the back on an outboard Z drive arrangement, like a Robbe or Graupner fitting, however it is likely not to be the 4mm that these items are.

            Paul, as suggested by Malcolm, a few measurements need to be taken of the shaft size, and the method of prop attachment noted, ….screw thread or dog drive.

            It may be the supplier of your boat has spares, or another supplier that supplies this craft can supply a prop. (did I use enough "supplies" then?)

                  Yes, a dog drive and thus well outside my comfort zone. Recheck the shaft diameter – it might be 3/16" rather than 4mm, google Octura, that being a name that seems to crop up a lot where fast boats are discussed. There are almost certainly other prop makers out there, but posting on a forum with a dedicated fast boat section might get you better information from people with more knowledge.
