.187 without teflone question

[steveo]

a 64th size tubing? an in between would be great its not a hobby shop special i'm sure

[iamandrew]

im getting a bit confused with all this imperial talk!

Ive got some questions.
I have a 3/16th cable, so does that mean i need a 3/16 teflon tube? or do i need a 1/4 tube? because wouldnt a 3/16 teflon tube not be able to fit a 3/16 flex drive cable into it? or is it measured on the inside diameter?

sanding the flex now and wil se how it works out.

jimclark. the table on the OSE site was what i orderd from. thats why i was so suprised when it was snagging as much as it is.
but next time il ask you guys first and then order :)

I don't agree with the 7/32nd stuffing tube for an .187 flex shaft. I've run the .187 flex shaft for 15 years with nitro boats and now for nearly 2 years with electric and I have always used the 9/32nd stuffing tube without teflon liners. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Like D&D, I have been using the 9/32 tubing since about 1982 when I first started racing boats.
Works great and I always keep the flex shaft well greased with a mraine type grease.
Also it is the size that the speedmaster strut bushing slides right into.

9/32 would work excellent.
