Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hi there,
I am using these parts in my ROV.
Brushless Motor: 2213N 800Kv  http://goo.gl/3SYsCY
ESC: HK-30A http://goo.gl/NmkpLK

Propellers for Horizontal thrusters: Delta V-15 http://goo.gl/Xtoh9r (as tested here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QJLIKNrKxI)
Propellers for Vertical thrusters: Cornwell G2303.60 http://goo.gl/XVFtGh

Now I am finding propeller adapters to fit in my motors and propellers. I don't want to use adhesives to attach propellers. What are your suggestions?

Keeping it simple I would just use THESE

I don't have experience with propellers and adapters. How does the propeller fit into the adapter considering the propeller (Delta V-15) hub is a bit long?

How long is the Hub? these say that they have a 23 x 5mm shaft so i would guess that up to around a 18mm hub would be OK.

There may be others that are longer but I don't know, I'm not sure too sure how much you will like those props, the multi bladed (more than 3 blades) props don't seem to test too well in real life.

But feel free to prove me wrong, my kids try/do it all the time and I love it.

I chose them because of the testing video I posted in the link above. I hope the adapters fit.
I assume you are referring to the Delta V-15 props. What about Cornwell G2303.60 http://goo.gl/XVFtGh two blade props? Can I use standard prop couplings others are using?

I was referring to the delta v props, but they may be great? The other link won't work for me.

I'm not sure what you mean by the standard prop couplings that others are using. I use the ones I linked you to on planes and multi rotors but in my ROV I have made my own on a lathe.

Sorry about the link. Here it is. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/aca ... _2303.html
And model G2303.60 60mm.
By standard coupling I mean one of these plain couplings http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/aca ... _2303.html

I see you don't like the V-15 prop much, but I think other boat propellers don't give equal thrust for forward and reverse. For my thrusters setup, it is required to produce an equal thrust whether prop is driven clockwise or counterclockwise.
This is the test video I watched.

What are your recommendation for props?
