Running Hardware
Above is the Running Hardware Package suitable for class 2 and 3 cruisers. This is typical of all of the Hardware Packages, regardless of the class of ship they are designed to fit.
Included in this (typical) package are drive motors, U-joints (sockets and dogbones), propellers, flexible pushrod with housing and end rods, rudder arm(s), rubber pushrod boot with mounting plate & screws, pushrod connector(s), throttle switches, power switch, speed adjustment resistor, hookup wire, instructions and diagrams.
Packages for other, larger ships may include larger motors, larger propellers, and Gear Reduction units instead of U-joints.
Please Note: All Running Hardware Packages are currently for Fast Gun combat ships only. Big Gun hardware kits are similar, but are designed for ships that have more than two powered props, and will be available soon.
We offer a complete line of individual replacement hardware parts for the Combat Warship Modeler. The photo above shows just a few:
Left to right: Rubber pushrod boot with mounting plate and screws, U-joint (sockets and dogbone), rudder arm (for 1/8th inch shaft), and in background, nylon rudder pushrod with housing and end rods.
New!
Silicone Wire
We are now carrying silicone wire, with a high strand count and tinned for corrosion resistance. This wire is very flexible and is heat resistant. The wire is stocked in both red and black, and is being used in all of our hardware kits for wiring up the ships and pump leads.
Marine Shrink Tubing
The marine shrink tubing contracts to 1/3 of its original diameter, and is lined with a heat sensitive glue. When heated, the tubing shrinks diametrically and the glue seals the inside. The length of the tubing does not shrink when heated. This shrink tubing is now being included in the hardware kits for sealing wires and connectors.
