Coming along quite nice there bruiser!! like those motor collets, what are those?? are they for square or round 3/16 shafts?
....and ofcause cant beat those flex savers LOL.....

[bruiser77]

They're can be used for both square and round. 8 set screws on the flex side 4 on the shaft side. These are for 1/4" but you can get them for 3/16. www.rcraceboat.com is where I purchased these. And yes I see you copied me with the flex savers! Lol

Wanted to share some recent progress pics. in the the process of building stuffing tube supports.

[bruiser77]

Also got the hardware mounted and sealed. Made some custom prop shafts until i find some stronger material! Also mocked up the hatch lock. Thanks for looking, Bruiser

[Mattwarner]

Very nice!

[bruiser77]

Thank you very much Matt!

That's a great hatch lock idea.Looks good Bruiser.Are those lines for grease or oil for the flexes?

[bruiser77]

Thank you srislash! Yes, those are for flex shaft lubrication. Im using MHZ flex saver, the bearing housing has a nipple that threads into the stuffing tube. There is a pic of them on page 3.

I'm thinking of giving cable wax a try. In comes in a aerosol can, works great on my motorcycle cables, and might work well on keeping water out of the stuffing tube
