Spartan wire drives

[Jeff Wohlt]

The 078 wire drives are about to finish production so they will be shipping over the next few days. Please give us input when you run them. Hope they do well. Should run in the stock teflon just fine.

My aplogies for some of the wait but between the Holiday and me being glued to the hotel I have been behind.

Excellent, I have been very interested to try and run one of these.

What exactly is needed if converting to wire drive?? What are the main advantages??

[Jeff Wohlt]

Smoother, less friction, less maintenance, Does not compress uder torque (but still leave a slight gap at the strut), lighter, Will hold up better than a 150 cable. Does not suck water up like a cable.

So does this mean if I order one it will fit without extra parts or modification? Last time I ordered a wire drive I found out when installing I needed a new nut as the threads were different from stock and I needed to grind down the area where the set screw sits. Love your flex drive by the way, has been great with about 20 sets of batteries run through it so far.

[Jeff Wohlt]

You need a 3/16" drive dog and nut for 10/32 threads...which is the std. Thank you for the compliment.

Ordered mine last night, along with the Octura Coupler, and Octura Prop nut. Can't wait to get! I'll let you guys know how it runs when it gets here!

Hey Jeff, I ordered everything via your site on Friday but on the Pay Pal site when I hit submit with all my payment info in place, the page just refreshed and cleared all the fields. I can't tell if the order went through or not. Afraid to do it again just yet. Sent you a email as well asking if it came through on your end. Hadn't heard back from you yet. Can you let me know if I need to try again or not as soon as you can? Thanks. Chris

[Jeff Wohlt]

Chris, I do not see anything. I have gotten orders even last night.

[Flame On]

okay, i'll do it again tonight. Thanks.

[Flame On]

Done... went through that time. Let me know if I didn't pick the right coupler size or anything. Any idea of a ETA?

[mtnbiker94]

Just got mine in the mail today! Installed everything easily, had to swap over the stock drive dog onto it because the one that came on it was a little to short for the stock prop, haven't gotten to run it with it on yet but I'll let you guys know when i do

[dag-nabit]

Looking forward to hear your opinion on how they work. Mine shipped a couple days ago, but i will probably be a week or two waiting on international shipping, so any input will be appreciated.

What do you mean the drive dog being too short? The stock on is 4mm, correct? I even turn the 3/16 part of the shaft just a little longer. Please let me know as I want to make sure the 3/16x5/16 dogs work
