Prop adapter for 28cc 'wacker' motor.
#1
Thread Starter

I'm buying a weedeater with a 28cc motor and will need a prop adapter for it. Any idea where to get something like this or does it very so much by each engine that you have to have one specially made?
Also, I have never converted a wacker motor for RC use and was wondering what I might have to do in order to use it for RC. Any special mods or parts I'll have to get???
Thanks!
Regards,
Bryan

Here's how I converted my 21cc McCulloch. I'm building 1/4 scale Taylorcraft for it! Link at bottom of the webpage to where you can get yourself a Prop Hub Adapter from.
Good luck with the conversion!

Dunno, not checked yet. My Tach died and I've not yet replaced it. Does seem to wind right up the scale with a 16 X 8" prop.

What brand of engine are you converting? We will need to know this to better assist you in the conversion.
I machine these hubs from 6061 Aluminum. You will most likely need either a 5/16-24 or a M8 x 1.0 threaded Hub. I charge $15.00 for a hub. E-Mail me if you would like to see a Pic.
