It was ever so slightly bound in the stinger. I think that little sliver of metal on the solid part of the cable slung out and kinda hung it up inside the bushing. It spun fine, but took a very slight amount of pull to get it out. You can see how the cable sprung open too. I leave like 4mm of shaft sticking out on my boats so they don't bind up. I don't think that is what caused it. Just a bad part I guess?Comment

I just hope I get them by Friday so I can run this weekend. Figures the OSE ones are back in stock now. Hope the ones I ordered are on par with the OSE ones. I want to jump up to 45mm props and wanted the extra 4mm of the length the OSEs offer. I mounted my OSE 1.6 pitch 45mm CNC prop off my Blackjack 24 on the Zelos to see if they fit the stock Zelos Twin cables and they just barely fit. I'm going to run 1.4 pitch props which should be a touch shorter I would think? Also ordered bullet prop nuts.Comment

These are different from what I saw at my pond. He had wire drives in a boat he built, but also came with the stuffing tube with bearings in it, no Teflon. I am awaiting my wire drives. See what these puppies can / or / cant do :)
I think these will wear the crap out of my Teflon, or if I run it bare, wear my brass tube, or shaft will become thin at the rub point. These wire drives come a couple inches too long from what I'm told, is there a way to relocate the motors further towards the bow and maybe make brass tubes straighter? That would be the ticket lol32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment
