I could use any white Thimble Drome 6/3, the very early ones had a logo like this rough drawing, on each blade
thanks for looking Ron

Pretty sure I have one of those. I'll look tonight.

You can have it for free.

Cheers
Thanks for that info. I'll suss it out and see what I can get.

Thanks Ron, that very generous

Here are the ones I have. They are not pretty. The rose colored one is nicer, but not the color you were after.

The other problem is they are both 5 1/4" not 6"

With that all said they are yours if you want them.

Ron

I have a red 6-3 KSun if you want it Doug.
Bob

Sorry it took so long for reply, been dealing with many domestic issues lately and thanks to this little hobby I,m still sane, maybe!
Thanks for the help and kind posts from Ron, getback, OVERLORD and Bob. I'll keep the red prop on it, its fine, sometimes I get too anal with these projects.
I,m going to make the red Rod a runner and if I can find a place to run, video the run. Thanks for the support, 5839 views and counting!!

Nicely done, congrats!

The Kaysun props were used by Thimble-Drome to about, '57-'58 (?) Cub/Comet also used them.

They're still around: http://www.kaysun.com/about-us

I just ordered an Associated 1/8 Monster GT truck for my 19 year old who is starting to show interest in nitro RC (but its really MINE!!).
I thought it might learn him how to tinker with machines (right now he is a master at smoking pot and smart phones but ya gotta love em).
Anyone run these? What is a good plug, fuel, break in? I think the engine is a Super Tiger 8cc, .50ci.
The thing is massive, 24' long, 17.23 wide, 6.75" dia. tires

Associated has an instruction manual for it on their website.

Nice link Ron thanks, I guess I'll have to break down and read the instructions!

I got it from Tower, they gave a large discount just for entering a coupon code at checkout, if you need something from them check it out.
And free shipping, no tax!

Bob/Ron, whatever works.

Glad the link helped, I tried to download and answer your questions, but it was 20MB and that takes a while on the phone.

I'm sorry Ron, brain fart, I was PMing Bob at the same time

Wow this model is incredibly complex

The trans

I really like what you have done to that yellow Prop Rod.

Think there is a chance for a repeat on this mess?

I think thats a Wen Mac Automite, is the body cracked? If not it should look nice with a clean and polish.
The drive tire still has tread on it, ones run hard are bald.

Thanks, I didn't notice the tire, but that is good news.

The seller says it is not cracked but is missing the driver, I'm not sure that it ever had one. Another reason I wanted it was because it has the same flywheel arraingment as this boat motor.

Wen Mac made some really cool models

Thanks for posting those pictures. The prop was broken on it, now I can see why.
