My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Hello Gentlemen

I am looking for some help finding a part # (if part exists!).
The part is a 8mm engine collet for Hirobo scale mechs.

Thanks, Jason

I am doing an electric coversion, using a Scorpion 4035-500. I swap out the shaft for a threaded 8mm shaft and bolt everything up just like the glow motor (excluding fan). I have done this with Robbe machines and it works great, just need the 8mm collet.

Thenks, Jason

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I don't know exactly the part you are refering to, but 8 mm is .315" and 5/16 is .312". Can you use a 5/16 shaft and then use the standard Hirobo parts?

If you need an 8 mm part I can bore out a 5/16 part for you.

He needs a bored collet. I checked the Hirobo Jp website's plans for those mechanics. They only showed the standard collet.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Thanks for the help guys.
I guess you could say I need material put back in my collet. Odd that no 8mm collet is available, is that not the size that YS uses?
I do have a sleeve from Robbe that I might be able to neck the collet down with. I will have to slot it to provide the grip on the shaft. I am trying to avoid this as it could slip and/or be a source of run out.

Thanks, Jason

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Jason,

Both OS and YS share the same OD of the machined step in the crank inboard of the threads. Thus both engines use the standard split collet.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Hello Ben

You are right, just checked my old YS61.
I think I will sleave down the stock collet and check the run out closely.

Thanks, Jason
