Hi folks,
Just upgraded my esc and now run 5s in my boat. Since doing this I only get 2 runs in before needing to re-grease the flex shaft. After the second run there is water sprayed everywhere as it has come up the stuffing tube, pull the shaft out and there is not a spec of grease left. The strut is lined up to the tube with no gap. FYI I use the proboat grease, once I have run out I will be switching to a thicker style marine grease as I have used ht bearing grease as an unplanned substitute.
Does this indicate a worn Teflon liner? Or is it just the extra rpm from 5s?
Boat is- miss geico v2. Seaking 180A esc, 5s 50c, x642 and the PB 1500kv 6pole motor on 7.5 timing.
Cheers,
BJ
