Sweet idea. What is it I'm looking for?

This is what Beaux suggested: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...prod=ose-80072
But you could also go the shaft seal/saver route: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...d=aero-sts-125

Here is one that is close to you: http://www.rcboatbitz.com/index.php?...oducts_id=2564

I now see that you have just the Teflon coming up thru the hull, the flex saver would be the option then.

Hey guys,
massively slack finishing this thread, but here we go. Got the boat done, and took it for a test. The Nostradamus above who mentioned the amount of flex exposed was proven correct. Under load about 30secs into its second run it developed a whip in the flex cable, which buggered that up. Soooo, another flex cable later and the addition of another section of stuffing tube in the aforementioned spot, and we have a drive line that runs pretty smooth. It runs pretty well on a 442, and testing with a pile of props from 3 blade 38mm to 445's etc. nothing else quite gets to the same speed on 4s. We will see what happen with a bit more battery....when I get a bit more battery.
Anyhoo, here a vid of its second run post rehashing the drive line. I must say for a hull that was setup for 50kph on Nitro, it is so stable at 80 odd.

cheers boys.
