I just wanted to Post Pics of my Setup... Hopefylly these can help someone else.
I broke my Flex Cable by pushing the Cable too far up the Collet once the Prop hit full speed and pushed the boat it was metal on metal (drive dog + Strut). The Cable Broke 3/4 of the way and i lost everything aft that point on the cable. (prop, Drive dog. Prop Nut)
I bought my replacement from Kintec Racing (it Came with a Teflon Tube, Drive Dog, Prop Nut Preinstalled) the one from Kintec is a bit short... Horizon Hobby was nice enough to send me a New Stock Prop. The Cable from Kintec is a Direct Replacement... i would recommend also purchasing their 3/16 3 hole busing and replace the stock bushings in the strut.

Look 1/2 way down the above page ..its the 3 Hole Bushing.
Jan from Kintec Racing was very helpful
Here are Pics of my Drive DOG and Strut Distance. (i was able to minimize the bounce at full speed by doing this and Moving the batteries somewhat mid distance)
