Cliff 1959 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'll need an odd size spinner for my latest electric model so I'll have to make one, has anyone any ideas on construction methods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 What size diameter at the rear Cliff? And how long Is it scale model, electric? What power? All this affects the chosen material, and if this material can be spun up in a drill chuck E.g balsa, wood, nylon, foam, plywood, aluminium, rubber Edited By Denis Watkins on 28/04/2017 08:23:06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete taylor Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 3D printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff 1959 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 The model is electric scale of a 1937 Loose Racer, it'll only weigh about 2lb auw, the spinner is roughly 10cm dia x 3cm. Power wise quite low so balsa would probably suffice. I like the idea of 3d printed but haven't gone down that road yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Channon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Cliff, I have printed a few from files from Thingiverse.com, they turn out really well, i have run a couple up on the Riot and they are really good, printed in black they look like carbon fibre. Have a good day, Chris C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
