I'm building a scale bird and could really benefit from a longer main shaft for my 4 bladed head to clear the fuse. I have the CF with the third bearing now. Does anyone know of a longer main shaft? Or perhaps another brand shaft that is still 10mm diameter that might work?
Thanks!
Have you tried a 600N shaft yet?

I looked it up and it's about 10 mm longer, but not sure if it fits at the bottom in the main gear the same way. Does the N have three bearing blocks?
Thanks!
Yes, a 600N has a third bearing block on the bottom. The extra 10mm may be used for the third bearing block on the bottom, so it may not help you there. I may have one laying around in my room. I'll take a look at it tonight whenever I get home.

Thanks, I fitted the mechanics in the fuse last night and think it will work...barely. I appreciate the help though!
I don't have an 600ESP main shaft, but I found a 600N and 600EFL main shafts. the 600N is longer than the 600EFL on the bottom which is used to fit a third bearing block. However, it is also longer than the 600EFL on the top. I'm sorry that I cannot find any 600ESP around my house. I sold them all. Please see the picture for more detail.

Whaaat? You, scale? :lol: My 600 esp is fitted with the 3 bearing mod and the shaft used is the 3G mainshaft. From the top of the upper bearing support to the bottom of the align fbl head it is 2 1/4 inches long. How much more do you need? Is the nitro shaft even longer?
