There is no concensus on liner vs no liner, both methods work. Personally I haven't used a Teflon liner in any of my non-RTR boats for over a decade. Some of those boats had well over 50 two-minute race heats on them with the same cable and I have never replaced a brass stuffing tube due to wear. I use 70W synthetic gear oil exclusively, and I seldom re-lube the cable between heats. Limited testing I did some years ago showed a slight frictional reduction without the Teflon liner. That said, some very fast boats use a liner......
