How to use this prop

[Flying Scotsman]

This thread is a mess.


You need ONE bushing in the strut.
If there is a 3/16" bushing in the strut, and you are running a 3/16" prop shaft and there is that much play.
Your not running 3/16" somewhere.

I will but Z400 on the button

z400 your right.

I'll measure it all up tomorrow, and find out what is not the right size and get the right part.

You may have a 1/4" strut and bushing.
The inside of the bushing is for 1/4" shaft NOT 3/16"

Ok I measured it all up.

The cable is .187.

I have come to the conclusion that I was given the wrong strut, since this is a nitro stinger, and there is no bushing in it. Although, I doubt that a bushing could make up for at least 1mm gap between the cable and strut on both sides.

The stinger has since been changed on the OSE site since I bought it.

Okay I'm pretty sure that all I need is the bushing.

Another question:

What size tubing would you recommend for water cooling the Hydra HV 120? 7/32 or 1/4?

The stinger picture is the same one thats been used for quite some time. Probably about a year or longer.

Speedmaster doesn't make "electric" hardware. So all their stuff is named nitro or gas.

Inside the stinger is a bushing like this.






1/4" tubing for the water cooling.

Ah ok Steven, I must have been mistaken.

I just remember buying the stinger that I was linked to, and now I can't find it on your site

So all I need now to run this is:

Drive Dog (3/16 Octura?)
Prop nut
Cooling jacket for Neu 1521
8mm to .187 coupler
1/4 tubing
Linkage boots
BEC or Receiver pack (not sure which would be better for what I need)

Can anyone confirm that what I've listed is correct?

I'll be using a DX3S, with the temp sensor on the motor so I can monitor the temps while I run it.
