Are there any working waterjets available between 4cm (1.5") and 10cm (4") pump diamater? We need something in between but I'm not at all familiar with the RC waterjets :newbie:

Thanks! We already have a few sets of those for our models and they are just a bit too small, resulting in a too small model (1:12.5 scale). Otherwise we have to go to 1:5 with our 10cm impellers and that's a bit too big... in between would be wonderful...

This company (KBM) might be an option for you. I've not yet purchased from them, but I have heard good things.

Our 10cm waterjets are much more expensive that that ;) This could be very interesting, thanks!
