Trying to see if anyone has ever located this stainless material

[Aquaman_68]

The shaft assembly material for maxi jet powerheads. It's stainless rod..I know people were making mods in the club..(that required loger shafts) Any help would be awesome..(the correct size measurment would be nice too...as mine are worn out & can not be sized up with a micrometer...

Not sure of a source, but I just mic'd one at .097"

Maxi Jet mods I made in the past I used 0.098" OD carbon fiber rods. You can find the rods at any hobby shop that sells remote cars, planes and boats. Online look into Towerhobby.com. The fibre rods are used for the propeller shafts on the boats. You'll also want to use 1.25" propellers by Dumas for the mods as well. I put together a complete Word document of the assembly.

Hi, don't have a source for the rod, unfortunately, but am trying to send a PM (your box is full ). Feel free to delete this post--just trying to find a way to contact you and found this thread.

Is that flux coated or not?

 

[willray]

No it's not coated.

Brian,
I have several sizes of maxijet shafts laying around as well as 2.5mm (.098") 316 stainless rod (not welding wire). Let me know what you need, I'd be happy to help out.
