This Custom-designed 3D-printed 3-blade spinner was designed specifically for the 30" wingspan A6M ZERO model airplane as offered by Manzano Lazer Works.
We modified our FW190 spinner with a slight modification so its perfect for this model, which uses the same motor and propeller! Our Zero spinner is 1.125" in diameter and 1.44" tall. This is designed for a 3-bladed 8 x 4.5 propeller (standard rotation) with our 1700kv 24gm motor and a 2-cell battery. You will need a prop adapter with a shaft length of 13mm (minimum) and diameter of 5mm. The motor, propeller, and prop adapter are available separately from Rabid Models. It can also be used with a 9x7 prop from Rabid Models.
The spinner+motor+prop+ESC package is available for your convenience!
Here's a picture of Jim Bosley's beautiful model with the kit-supplied spinner - compare this spinner to the spinner shown in the drawing of the full-size A6M Zero below. The Rabid Models spinner has the correct scale shape!
We have TWO different bases. The thicker base requires a longer 20mm prop shaft on the adapter (and the hole may need to be enlarged to 6mm).
Specifications:
White PETG. 28.6 mm diameter, 36.5 mm tall
Weight: about 7.5 gms (the spinner with the thicker base is 10gms)
Size of adapter hole in baseplate: 5mm
To install the spinner, first secure the propeller and spinner backplate on the motor shaft using a prop adapter (or a nut), then the cone simply snaps on - no additional hardware is needed! The propeller and prop adapter are NOT included (we have them available for sale separately). This product is ONLY for use with electric motors and propellers.
The 3D-printed plastic spinner parts are unfinished but can be sanded smooth and can be painted with any plastic-compatible paint. Click here to see a video from Fun Scale Models that shows how to finish and install 3D-printed spinners. Painting is recommended because all plastics will deteriorate over time if exposed to sunlight. Glue is not needed!
