The conversion couplers are expensive to make due to the different spline configurations, and not enough people are doing spacer testing to justify the different coupler lengths.

Just do the SCX lower shaft, and do all the spacer testing your heart desires.... I know that is what I had to do.

Its just temporary for me until I get close on prop size then I will remove the spacer and get a custom prop. With the scx, sc-3 I had to get custom props and that was getting expensive, wasteful and slow turn around for testing. So I put a 1/2" spacer so I can use stock Diameter props to test with. I made a custom coupler for testing.
I may have some props for sale if anyone has a standard upper with a -3 lower these will work. I need to finish testing to see what I am keeping first.
