    What is motor shaft on ATOMIK Barbwire??

    I have to fix up a Barbwire my GF bought her Nephew for X-Mas. They live far away and when we make a visit soon I'm bringing an esc Hobbywing new version and possibly a new coupler & driveshaft OR just the Etti coupler that goes from 1/8" to 2mm.

    RC Groups mentions someone using the Etti coupler that uses a 1/8" motor shaft but, I need to 100% sure. There are no picture of the mod that they mention or I haven't found them yet.

    It would be nice to use an Octura 1/8" to .098 coupler and an Octura cable .098 to 1/8" stub but, I don't know what is possible with this boat not in front of me.

    All help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Ray re the flex size, the flex is 2.3mm (actually measures 2.33mm or .0915). I have used this size flex with the Octura .098" coupling, it does close down & grip the flex but you have to tighten quite tight. The problem you get closing down this much is the collet dosnt close down parallel it closes tapered & grips more on the nose of the collet. Where the nose of the collet is over tightened it crushes down the flex more at that point over time.
