ok well am i breaking the flexcable because i have too much power......... im running an 8xl on 12 cells.....and a x438-x440........60% of the time... it works every time!Comment

you ought to be using a 0.15" cable what with that motor, instead of the 0.13".
methinks that for testing purposes only, that you might be able to pull the liner out of the stuffing tube and run the cable w/o liner(ultimately you should replace the appropriate parts with the correct size parts).Still waiting for my boat to come in.it came inComment

Actually, cleaning is not the key if you are using Loctite #603 (this on wire drives). This product will cure in oil - although removing what you can is not a bad idea. The two biggest causes of Loctite failure are
- inadequate coverage of the wire/hole with product (air bubbles)
- the use of out-of-date product.
