One of the issues with getting boats made over in China is that they source metric parts whenever they can. The stuffing tube teflon is one of them. It's a metric size. I've tried to get that changed, but it hasn't been possible thus far.

I'd recommend you order it through Horizon Hobby and just get a factory replacement. The .150" sized standard teflon that I've been able to find is just a tad too large to fit the brass.

Well.....that tube is back order, anyone have a idea and links to goodies......i want to get this beast on the water, i dont care if i have to change the whole set up from the collar to the prop but want to keep the 3/16 prop if possible.
It may be a better idea to do so....im running some serious power now in it and dont wanna twist shafts off.....HELP!!!!!!

You can always sand down the other teflon to make it fit. Or, remove it and upgrade to a 3/16 cable and run no teflon.
