Default Help making a Custom Shaft for Xnova?

Hey guys,
I have an MSH Xnova 4530 motor that has a 10mm shaft. Is there a custom shaft or a shaft from another motor I could use to get it down to 6mm? The can is 10mm, both bearings.

Pyro 850 shaft?

A scorpion 4530 shaft won't fit? I use scorpion 4035 shafts in my xera4030s

It's 10mm inner, not 8mm. I just found that the 5035 uses a 10mm inner, so I ordered one for $43. (-:

Ahh. I thought the 4530 had a 10mm inner shaft. Either way, Scorpion is usually my go to vendor for replacement motor shafts.

I think the most expensive solution would be to buy a lathe.

el guapo,

good luck in turning the hardened surface of the shaft.....
you would need a ceramic cutting plate or a good shaft grinding machine with diamond tool.

scorpion shaft will work for sure, often done it.

you'd also cut thru the hardened depth of the shaft.
