    Lightbulb Super Strut for the GENESIS Twin Setup

    I' ve found the perfect strut / powertrim for a GENESIS twin setup

    Modellbaupirat MBP MBP Powertrim 148mm to 104mm adjustable, 3/16" Flexshaft

    https://mbp-rc.de/MBP-smart-Drive-Po...r-475mm-Flex_1




    On this picture the Powertrim is not adjusted, it need 5mm shorter.
    You can easily imagime how it look. Shaft in the powertrim is 8mm diameter mountrd with ball bearings.

    I have a set of those I might install on a spare Zelos hull. I do prefer the click drive version for the adjustability factor.

    They are very similar to the smart drives. The click drives had bearings to support the prop shafts and an indexed brass thumb wheel to adjust the trim height. I tried to interchange tubes between smart drives and click drives, but they are a fraction of a mm different in inner and outer diameters and weren't interchangeable.

    The two sets I have were purchased quite a while ago. Perhaps they're no longer available.

    I was referring to the click drives possibly not being available. They are different than the basic smart drives.
