SV Drive Dog Stripped?

[ms71171]

I installed a new Feigao 11xl 1577 in my SV and ran it for about 5 minutes and my Motor Cable Coupler won't stay tight on the drive shaft of the motor.

Any tips on getting this thing to hold? lock tight? Or, do I need a new drive cable and coupler due to the additional power.

does the motor shaft have a flat spot on it for the set screw?

No, it's this motor. Seems like it would be good to have a flat spot.

I just bought one of these from Octura - has 2 grub screws which will help greatly.

I used a dremel on mine and just made a small flat. It has worked for a couple years now.

Too funny! I was just talking to my buddy about doing that!
