Brushed or Brushless.
Guys I used brushed motors just cos I am getting old and stick to technology I know but a little piece of advice, Brushed motors can be a law unto themselves. Take a 540 lower turns on the motor = less rpm and greater torque. But a be caref …

Hi Andy, Wise words indeed, I very nearly made that mistake. Even though I've been following this site on and off for years, it went straight out of my head, now looking closely at motors before I buy anything. Bill

Hi Ygagnon, Yeah I know where you are coming from, I went from frustrated to frazzled to bamboozled, in the end I gave up on it and went for what I understood, and by all accounts, for a tug Brushed is the way to go-thankfully. After all br …

Hi everyone, thank you for your advice and words of encouragement. I've been busy on Howes website, just waiting to find out a cost for carriage now, then I'll have to hand over the loot, but most of it will be one off costs since I'm start …

Bill, As a matter of purely personal preference, I've always used good old fashioned brushed motors. I like the 'grunt', one ESC (as long as stall amps are covered) and easy to swap out if one fails- cos generally they are cheaper! Hope you …

Hi RH, Thank you, that's good to know, I'll be using 17mm thick plywood for the sides just because that's what I have here, so it will be a heavy boat, looks like the 540's have won the day, phew lucky choice , My plan is to build the hull …

Identify Brushless Motor
No nothing I have plugged a 6s Lipo on to it and it all works fine, I will fit in to the sea queen and give it a go. But I plan to refurb the boat as it’s looking a bit tatty.

Brushless motor couling
Steve, An alternative to sawing off the threaded part of the shaft at the coupling end. Buy the spiral coupling with a 3mm I/D at the output end. Drill it out with a 4mm tap drill, = 3.4mm and tap a 4mm thread 0.75 (normal) or 0.76 pitch to …

Thanks Rowen Forgot that older shafts were like that. Since I got my mini lathe and milling machine I've got used to making my own! Cheers, Doug

Not unusual. Some shafts fit both screwed propeller and a screwed coupling, thus threaded at both ends. If you want to use a coupling with flats and grub screws, just cut the thread off. May have to shorten the outer tube to compensate.

Thanks again. Strangely enough the prop shaft is threaded on both ends. The same thread on each end. Cheers.

Hi Steve, The inserts of the spiral coupling are not threaded. They are secured with grub screws. That's why I milled depressions in the shaft to prevent any slippage. See my 2nd pic below with the shaft and coupling on the mini milling mac …

"The centre of the sleeve can as also be filled with grease or oil to maintain lubrication " That's a neat idea Rowen Could give my old couplings a new lease of life. Cheers, Doug

Many thanks gents (I'm assuming gents, sorry if not), all very useful information for the novice! Next question if I may - my prop shaft was bought about 20 years ago and when I use my digital calipers the plain bit of the shaft is 3.94mm d …

Agree with the clackety clack noise. I slide a length of plastic tube over the coupling once all is lined up. This sleeve reduces backlash in the coupling and quietens it down. The centre of the sleeve can as also be filled with grease or o …

Hi Joe, I like the spiral coupling a lot. Takes the full power of my 1000kV motor running on a 3S LiPo without a whimper. You have to be careful with the initial alignment though as it won't flex as far as UJs. personally I didn't consider …

Doug, Regarding the flexible spiral coupling, do you like them, how well do they work? To date, most of my couplings have been the universal joint type for 3/16" shaft and I am having trouble finding the non-metric sizes now. I have a lot o …
