Title: Dog bone motor coupler
Post by: BenVK on December 04, 2015, 01:35:59 pm

Does anyone know where I can buy this style of dog bone coupler but with a smooth bore and grub screw either end instead of the M5 threaded bore that this one has?

Cheers
Ben

                  Hi Ben, it's not my one of my hobby interests but I'm pretty sure that I've seen similar items while I've been looking for ''useful'' items within the model car world sites like Traxxas and Tamiya,

Thanks Trevor, I'll take a look at Traxxas first because they make boats too.

Ben have a word with Steve at model boat bits. For a fee he might be able to alter them for
You.

I found these last night which should fit the bill.

I'll probably have to bore them out but that's not a big deal.
