Revolt stock motor shaft bent advice

[Bking1340]

Good day all

I have recently ordered a Aquacraft Revolt 30 from Omnimodels.
The problem I have is that there are a lot of up/down and sideway movement at the coupler/flex shaft – The movement can be seen when turning the prop by hand and the motor mounts are also moving around.
I thought it was the aquacraft flex shaft or coupler, but I ordered a upgraded flex shaft and octura coupler from offshoreelctric (Received yesterday). The same problem.
So this morning I installed my receiver and removed coupler/flex shaft from motor and gave it some throttle – When giving about 10% throttle, you can see that the motor shaft are wobbly/running off center.
The alignment between motor and stuffing tube are 100% - the upgraded ose flex cable slides in like butter.

Any advice?

Sounds like you got a bent shaft and if so time to replace the motor...

Yes everything are good to go - just waiting for my replacement motor. OSE flex/octura coupler are waiting for the new motor. Have sharpened the rudder and rounded at bottom. Water pickup are bigger from the factory. I just need to balance and sharpen prop before maiden. Using EC5 connectors
