    5mm to 1/8 motor coupler

    I have a Rio EP. I plan on going brushless. Most of the brushless motors that I have considered have a 5mm shaft. The Rio has a 1/8 flex cable. I need a motor coupler that will fit. I checked the couplers Offshore has, but they dont have the one I need. Does anyone know where I could get one?

    I make the set screw style. If this is going to be a hot boat with this upgrade then I would be happy to make more for anyone needing them.

    Is the flex a true 1/8" or is is a 130 cable? 130 cable is around a 127 dia. If you can check the true id of the 1/8" cable I can get them on the money. Try some digi calipers and let me know.

        "Got Rpm" from RCU said that Offshore Electrics Octura Coupler Flex hex 5mm to .130 would work. Im going to give it a try. Wish me luck. Thanks
