What wire drive and coupler do I get from Jeff whole for the Spartan...and do I need a step down or what...a link to the exact one would be greatly appreciated..thanks

Www.wholtsrcboats.com i believe...... I'm using his Spartan .187 cable with the stock brass tube with the liner removed.the only thing you'll need also is the motor coupler for a.187 cable to a 5mm motor shaft....not 100% about the outdrive if it'll fit . I'm using a speedmaster .187 stinger drive so I'm not sure if that cable will fit the stock outdrive. He also has a .150 cable as well...hopefully some more experienced guys will chime i'n and help you further.... Good luck!!!!

How is that .187 flex working for you? I broke two cables this past weekend. Time to go with something stronger.

I've tried to contact Jeff...but I'm sure he's super busy...so I was wanting to ask someone who's been there done that...lol...and from what I hear the stock is prone to torque ... not as good as the upgraded .187

But I have used Jeffs wire drive in my ul1 and I know that's how you get the smooth speed..love em..just need the right one

@ Kevin , to be honest i haven't taken it out yet probably this weekend..... Please let me kno what you're planning i'n using fir a stronger flex cable ... and all bessary mods / coupler sizes etc.... Thanks! I'll keep you posted on how it goes this weekend or maybe even thus week....

[Rcforever27]

&dascoadams, lol sorry i got mixed up thought you meant flex cable..... What's the difference between the 2? Newer to these kind of eletric boats....I'm a gasser... Lol

[Rcforever27]

@ Kevin what could possibly be stronger? I'm all ears.... Lol that really sucks tho.... That means you lost 2 props.....

[dascoadams]

The biggest difference is rotating mass...and much smoother..and balanced..faster and less noise on the ul1 with the site drive

[Rcforever27]

Oh gotcha..... Stronger than flex? Or about the same?

[dascoadams]

Not to sure..I've never snapped either...as far as I can tell thus ,,far just the benefits listed above
