Wiredrive question?

[Tuslow1]

My new drives say that they are pre-drilled for 2mm universal wire...
My question is what size wire matches 2mm??? .062 or maybe .078?
I really want to build with piano wire and I want to use .078, so is 2mm the same as .078 or do I have to open the holes more for the wire size I want to use?

Thanks for your help, Ken

according to the chart I just read .078 is 1.9812 mm, close enough.

Thanks Jeepers


Next question: What do I use to hold the wire into the propshaft???
Something tells me superglue won't work....

Loctite 603 works great! I have also used Loctite 640 as well and have never had a failure.

Highly informative, CornelP, Highly informative!



I had a deadset fear of building my boats, but the helpfullness and knowledge of fellow members tend to make the hard and impossible seem quite simple and easy. Thank Gosh I finally started asking questions or all of my boats would have continued to be very expensive customs or cheaply made RTR's....
