I didn't use a teflon liner on my 2mm (which is .078) wire drive just a good ole 3/32 brass tube. Never had any trouble and never leaked a drop. I'm not a fan of liners and wire to brass tube has less friction than a teflon liner.

I would just buy the wire shafts from OSE! They are made by Jeff WohltMini Cat Racing USA

I wanted to, but all of the ones on OSE have the prop shaft on the end which I don't need. If I contact him can he sell me just the wire?Originally posted by sailr View PostSV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Yeah I couldn't decide whether or not to use teflon liner. If I'm going to have a slight bend, wouldn't it be better to have the teflon liner? Otherwise the wire will rub against the brass, am I right?Originally posted by blackcat26 View PostSV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Brass will have less friction than teflon. Either way will work fine I just hate messing with the liners.Originally posted by domp444 View PostFE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

I agree! To each his own....I am still divided on it. I think the smaller boats are better with the liner....bigger without IMO.........Comment

Gotcha. I got used to the liners, that's why I asked, haha. Alright so 3/32 brass stuffing tube is what I will get. Thanks for the info!Originally posted by blackcat26 View Post
What do I need to oil/grease it with? And is there anything else I need to do to run it properly?SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

I use grease no matter what, but I also have been using good 'ol 3n1 oil to add to the grease...just grease it and drizzle oil down it and slip it in........good to go bro!Comment

Sounds good! I have that Grim Racer grease, so I'll use that and then I'll get some 3n1 as well. Thanks for all of the info! Hopefully Jeff will respond and provide me with some wire :)
Where can I find 3/32 stuffing tube?SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

Grim stuff is what I use (also Prather) perfect!
You can get the brass through Steven (here).
Jeff is pretty darn good at getting back to me....just give him a little while....
