      if you are running anything on 10s you should be running 1/4 flex...
      the prop shaft is a choice between 3/16 (more prop choices) or 1/4 if you
      know what you are doing with big props.

        Cables

        Can anyone tell me the shaft length when running these big set ups? I will be making the 1/4" cables with a step down 3/16" stub end and std 1/4" shaft soon. I guess I should know the length as well for most set ups.

        These will be silver brazed.

          Jeff,
          I think it will depend on the strut one uses... I use the standard, 1/4 cable w/step down to 3/16
          that I got a long time ago, if it still the same it is 4" long (just stub)

            I have a little more info on the motor.

            This Large Water Jacketed Outrunner was designed for big boats 40-90". It will perform well as a drop in HP replacement for the Weed Eater type gas boats. Designed as a racing motor to run against the gas and will be competing in the racing scene beginning 2010. Testing so far in a 40+ Race hydro we are running 65-68 MPH and completing 7+ laps on 10s. This is very exciting for a low cost alternative motor to be running with the $600 Modified gas motors and the Large Neu inrunners. Testing continues and I will update soon!

            These pictures are from the 55" Deep Vee I am doing a conversion on. I started with a new hull (Snagged from the LHS for $50 new in the box) and then bought all new Proboat hardware, I am waiting on an ESC and then I will finish this project. I am very excited to see this thing scream across the lake with the new power system.

                Would this be a good choice for a 10th scale hydro? Or is this waaaay too much motor?

                    It is way too much motor for a 1/10 scale.

                    I am wanting to do a test and see if it can be run on a 3/16 shaft. 3/16 flex are pretty stout might make it. I am going to run one on 8S and see what is will do in a 45 inch cat.

                      Thanks guys I figured it would not. Guess I was just hoping, since they are a cheaply priced power source.
