Guys, my BJ29 has been a dedicated 6s setup since almost day one. I have around 30 runs on the boat powered by 6s running an X442 with a 1500 kv Miss Geico motor. Lately I have been noticing a fair amount of water in my hull after a timed 4 minute run. It seems to originate where the stuffing tube terminates inside the hull.
Everything is taped up. Hoses are not leaking and all fittings are snug. I can leave the hull floating in my bathtub over night and everything is dry in the morning. I suspect that my oem flex shaft is starting to wear as well as the teflon liner.
Would it be best to simply replace the liner and upgrade to a Hughey cable, or can I increase the cable size to .187" and get rid of the teflon liner? Is it better to run a smaller cable with the liner, or go bigger and liner-less?
Eventually my plans are to install a Leopard 4082 motor and a Sea King 180 amp esc. Im wondering if the larger cable will stand up to the power a little better.
In case anybody is wondering, I use Hyperformance flex shaft grease and relube every 2-3 runs.
