Chris does amazing work on props. Because Chris does so many props (and the finish I've seen on them), I imagine he has some custom-made tooling to make the job go quicker. That said, you are already most of the way there on your learning curve and you are doing first-rate work.
Here's a little trick I learned from Brian (Snowman) Buaas: Take an old pair of pliers and grind the faces of the jaws so that one is somewhat spherical and the other can get a good grip on it with no sharp edges. Brian then uses this "rounded" pliers to add cup or re-shape the curves on a blade. It works really well.
Thanks, doc. I've spent the last 3 years modifying and testing different mods, and most of them didn't work as expected. Basically, I spent the past 3 years ruining props.
Here lately I've been noticing less is more when it come to prop preparation.
I have a pair of pliers I'm working on, almost got them right soon as I perfect them I'll share. 👌 cupping pliers
I've been looking into heat treating Beryllium copper, annealing and quinch. I've hardened steel in the past with great success. Having a hard time finding what they use for the quinch once the prop is heated. Highly doubt it's the same oil used for steel hardening?
@@IRONCLADRC There's an entire discussion on annealing and heat-treating BeCu on International Waters (it's one of the Snowman's tricks). Do a search and a ton of stuff will show up. It's generally heating for an extended period of time with a slow cool-down (no quench).
Roger that! I've read a few articles, there's a couple different ways to go about it. I'll look into the annealing slow cook process. I have a few old Beryllium props I can do a test run with. Thanks.
Love the Channel keep it up great job
Love his props. Expensive and a lil wait but worth it.
Thanks B, another grea and informative vid. Ive only balanced one ochura prop. What a pain. Thought i was taking way too much material off of one blade to get it balanced
I know what you mean, I was the same way when I started balancing props.
THANKS B.
Man the thing with ABC props is you gotta put in the work, sometimes those hubs are so Rough! Awesome video B!
I agree, I've been working out an out of balance hub for almost 3 days now, usually it takes me one day to get a prop basically prepared. What a pain in the you know what!
I have 2 dasbota props! Abc props and what a job he did bro I was like 👀 thanks for this video B!!
No problem!!
Prop looks real good bro
Thanks, first run, and the loc-nut will fly off! Bye bye prp. 😆 🤣 😂
@@IRONCLADRC you must have positive visualizations. Like the ones I’m having as I drive to hopefully 🤞 pick up a barely used miss gieco 36” twin!!!
Oh boy, I'm jealous, hopefully she's ironclad!
@@IRONCLADRC it is close , but it will be ! Yippee. Just got it. Hearing your buddy run his sealed the deal for me. Now if I can just keep this one out of the rocks like the first one
@@norcalrc I can't way for the running videos
How do I know what needs balanced, the hub or blades? Thanks
Hello Ironclad.
I have owned the Veles 29 for a year and actually have no problems (all stock,speed is enough for me) It is also always serviced regularly. Now that I've seen this video, I took a look at the propeller. It looks just as uneven as the unprepared raw prop in this video. I have filed and sanded it a lot and it is now sharp on all edges. I have now ordered a balancer and will then do the finishing touches. Do you have a tip for me how I get the propeller polished to some extent? It is not made of the same material as the ABC propellers (copper?) where it is easier to get it polished. Greetings from Germany.
I use a buffing wheel on my bench grinder, green polishing compound, polish as your finding the final balance....
Hi BigB I got my Zonda in real quick im impressed with delivery wow....but after a good look thru my concern is the steering linkage it looks sloppy to put it nicely you know where I can upgrade that
Wish I could help, I don't have that hull..
Ose and Oxidean Marine both have center mounted rudder upgrade parts
And possibly not the props themselves but the shafts are a concern aswell with it being held in with grub screws
Hey B. After having some time with the Oxidean Marine Wood Rigger what prop do you reccomend? I will be using it as a oval boat, not as worried about top speed. Just overall best. Thoughts?
Best oval prop is an ABC H7, this prop is hard to find. I've found abc 1716 or 1616 are both awesome props for me in a small ovals.. I haven't really done any big open water ovals yet...
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks!! Left or right props? I dont have my boat yet so I am not sure.
Left Hand/counter clockwise rotation
Looking around can’t settle on some fun pros for my proboat sonic wake. So many. Any ideas would be Asome
What do you want from the prop. Speed? Bashing? Ovals?
Speed first
what might work better for sharpening is the variety pack of nail filling sticks. Goes from 40 grit up to like 2000 grit in a kit from amazon. I cut them in half the long way to get them to bend easier to match the profil.e
Roger that, I've used finger nail files in the past! Didn't know they had different grits I'll check it out.
Interesting video Big B. I can see the difference in the Oxidean prop and the Ebay prop, but the main question is: does the Ebay prop perform less? Or better? What is the effect of the trailing edge thickness? I would be very interested to know. Keep up the good work ✌️
Unfortunately, it's the right-hand prop. The only way I'd be able to test it is to throw both on the df29 and see if it pulls one direction or the other. I think the biggest difference will be durability, the ebay blades are thin, more prone to breaking?
@@IRONCLADRC I'm with Big B on this. I think it's structural as a lot of those Asian props have been known to come apart under huge power.
@@IRONCLADRC thanks, good info. I've seen those props too and I'm thinking to try them out. As I'm building a twin now, prop price becomes a bigger thing 😅
I don't know squat about RC Boats, Im into RC Airplanes and Crawlers but i like to watch your channel so hear is a question.
How much faster do you think your Rigger would have gone if the prop was prepared like it is now?
Have a good day \m/
Yes i think it would of been much faster, I had a real rough cut on it and barely polished, we'll see here shortly, next pretty day. Keeping the whole rigger set up exactly the same for this prop test.
@@IRONCLADRC Friggin AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to see that Upload. I know how hot and windy it's been, I am about 100 miles West of you and it's been Hot and the wind has been blowing a lot. I have been having to get up earlier than usual to get out so my Daughter and I can do a little flying. We could take out our bigger Airplanes to fight the wind but by the time we get them loaded and to the spot, unload em and put the wings on em it has turned into a job in the heat. So we have been flying our UMX Stuff in the back yard 🤣
Man I hope we get a pretty, calm morning where you can get out there and bust that 107 all to pieces, maybe get ya a 115 or 120 mph!
You and me both brother
👍👍
The tip is so thick and big ….. thats what she said, sorry B the lil kid in me I just had to lol
