I don't see why a modded MJ wouldn't last on a wave timer anymore than an unmodded MJ. People have been using MJ's on wave timers for years now without any problems. Aside from normal wear and tear that all powerheads will have, I don't see any reason why you can't use them.
Even if the MJ's only last a couple years, they're cheap to replace and the really nice part about this mod is that it's interchangeable between all MJ's.
Oh and propellers are easy and cheap to replace as well

I've been using it for a while now without any problems. Others have used this paint as well with no issues.
Infact people have been using Krylon Fusion and other paint made for plastic for years now without problems.
You have to make sure that the paint is for plastic though and Krylon Fusion is made especially for plastic as it bonds to it at the molecular level. It is made from basically the same stuff as PVC pipes and such. Just be sure to let dry and cure completely.

If my memory is correct, didn't you try the gray conduit in the electrical department? If so they have a flaired end on it the fits over the non flaired end. So couldn't you us the larger end to house the 1.75 prop after making the smaller end fit the MJ? I'm just thinking that way you wouldn't have to paint the PVC and the natural flair of the pipe may also be easier to adapt to the MJ. Downside is that there is only one flair per pipe.
A pic is a thousand words, too bad I can't get the pic in the tread. Here is what I mean.

the 1 1/2 inch measurements are ID= 1.610 and OD = 1.90.

prop overlap
prop overlap
When using dual nitro props there's a little overlap of the props. Critter showed it well in this pic.
In the pic. the leading edge of the second prop. overlaps the first. If the first prop. is rotated forward a little, the leading edge of the second prop. goes under it. Has anyone tried it both ways to see if one way is more efficient than the other?

Thanks D
I didn't know if there would be more drag one way or the other.
