what flex and tube to run on 1/12 hydro

[62 bugzilla]

I have a budweiser hydro I'm converting and I'm putting a 8xl in it on 4s lipo and wanted to know what flex and stuffing tube to put in it? I might upgrade to a neu motor later for more speed and power so might need it allittle bigger for that. From what I read I shouldn't run a liner in it either ?

.150 is what I had in my Elam with a 3/16 stub and an after market strut

?

Should I go with the .187 to handle extra power later or is that over kill? I see they both work in the same stuffing tube .150 and .187 when ran without a liner.

Unless you plan on going much larger in motor size, anything above a NEU 1515 or comparable, the .150 flex will work fine. 1/4" brass w/teflon and you're good to go. If you decide you want to run a .187 flex cable you can always remove the teflon lining. Running with or without teflon is a matter of preference.
