    EKOS flex cable size????

    Hey guys i just bought a pair of the ekos flex cables( for the dual drive ekos cat) as they were the same size as the flex shaft in my Red Evo hydroplane, i'm changing out the motor and need to buy a new coupler so want to make sure i get the right one, the motor is 5mm shaft but i dont know for sure what size the flex cable is??? i think its .130 but i'm not positive, does anyone know for sure?? thanks.

    well after some research this was the best info i could find, apparantly its a 3mm/.120 cable. Thats odd. Thinking some more mods are gonna be in order for my red evo, including a bigger flex cable.

      Dont know exactally what your looking for so this might not be of any use. The UK importer has dimensions listed for the Red Evo shaft as,
      length o/a 225mm
      rear part of shaft 55mm & 3.9mm diameter
      flex od 3mm
      Thanks Martin.

        yeah thats bang on Martin, i'm now trying to find a coupler to mate the 5mm motor shaft to this .120 flex cable. I'm hoping a 5mm-.130 coupler will work?? anybody know?
