Will a proboat miss geico flex cable work for a blackjack 29?

[96motorhead]

just wondering if this cable will work because the blackjack 29 flex cables are on back order until next month.

OSE sells top notch upgrade cables, I have MG V1, I don't know if it's the exact same length, but you can measure the one you have now and determine: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...e-mystic-cable

I snapped mine in half in the middle of the pond so I'm not sure how long.

[tlandauer]

I see, well, my feeling is that they should be the same length, but hopefully someone else who is SURE of the measurement will chime in to help, good luck!
In any case, I don't know which maker is the one on e Bay, but I can tell you for a few dollars more, the OSE ones are the best!

I got a miss geico one from kintecracing for my mystic, fits just fine!i would assume all the of these boats r the exact same thing!

Does anyone know the length of each?

Just buy a Hughey .150" flkex shaft with a 3/16" stub and cut it to length. Youll have a much higher quality shaft, and its easy to do. Just remember to measure twice before you cut.

A stock BJ 29 flex shaft is 12.75" long from the tip to the threads on the stub. The stub has a length of 2-7/8"

Nope, I just know that it fits so I'm using it! :P

I think i'm just gonna get the MG29 flex cable off ebay. Seems like it will work.

Also I bought a new proboat prop since my other one is long gone. Do I need to balance it?

YES!!! The PB prop is made of steel, although they say it can be used, don't use it w/o balancing . It is heavy( steel) and any unbalance character will be amplified under high RPM thus wearing out your components quickly, especially the bushing in your strut!

[Megabiker98]

You should have just gotten an octura, would have gotten u better performance and lighter material! :/
As to ur question, I agree with tlaunder, u should definently balance it!!!

The Miss Geico and the Blackjack use the same stock cable.

I would get a kintec or ose shaft. Much better quality. They are all the same size.

What balance stand is recommended and does anybody have any tips on balancing the prop?
