Drive shaft Help

[gfm1135]

I need to change out the drive shaft from my 22.5 Arowana. I am running a Leo 2860 3400 kv on a 3s. What stuffing tube and drive shaft tube should I use. Strut?

I had this same dilemma with the one I had.

Some people have used the Super V 27 strut, but its pricey.

I opted to get the 4mm stinger thats 55mm long. I then took the bushing out and put a 1/4" reamer thru it so I can use 3/16" bushings/shaft.

I chose that one because Ive had one before and the color matched the rudder. Also because its a sealed design. The round part where the shaft goes has a ball which fits into a socket. So no worry about water getting between that area and the hull and coming up the stuffing tube like other designs.

For cable I would advise a wire drive in this application. You can buy one from a few vendors now or make your own with the Octura propshafts- which are REALLY nice. Just beware you need the correct loctite glue to build these and its about $16...

SirBudman32 can probably show you pictures of final product. Stinger fit very well on back of the boat too!
