RE: Prop Strut
Thanks again. What about the setup on the red boat on the stand or the white boat. I have two other 1/12 pro boat hydros I'll need to convert over to. I would like to use something that I will be able to get parts for a long time in the future. Your the expert here,what's going to be the easiest converson? I don't race but I get a lot of pond time at the house. The second boat I accuired is for the wife,and the third is for my Brother-in-law,so I need to fix both of them. What up with the insert wearing out so fast any way? Is this just the nature of the beast? I try and not run the boat out of the water no longetr than I have to,and just as a precaution,I'll put a drop oil in the strut's water hole to help in keeping it lubed until I get the boat in the water. New strut has had about five tanks of gas and it is already getting sloppy causing the prop to get a bit of a wobble.

RE: Prop Strut
Oops,didn't say witch red boat. Either one,you tell me,looks as if the stock stile on the red boat on the left would be the easiest fix. Thanks again

RE: Prop Strut
I like the stock style strut that mounts on the bottom of the red boat,and the strut on the white boat. Can the sleeve be replaced on either style? Do you have the info on both of these struts? Thanks

RE: Prop Strut
I think I will attempt this. Is the strut you had me look at the one I need? I am sure I'll have to change the flex shaft also,and if so,which one do I need? Can I still use the stock size prop shaft. I use a s/s prop I really like on the stock prop shaft,which I think is 3mm. I have tried some other props (Octura) that are for 1/8 in shaft using a shim,but the boat just didn't seem to perform a well with the bigger prop,as with the S/S prop. Wish I could find a aluminum prop that would work. Tried to get info from hobbbico about what to use,they didn't have a clue. One other question,my steering rod boot comes out just a tick to the left center on the transom,will this new strut fit and clear the boot? Thanks

RE: Fuel
My motor is an 18 pro boat. I went to the sight above about mixing you own fuel(quick easy formulas),problem is finding nitro that one can afford. Now that syn oils are so popular,do you still want one with castor in it also,or just run a straight syn oil?Thanks everyone for the tips.

Fuel
My motor manufacture recommends 20% oil. The problem with that is,my local hobby shops don't carry that blend in any of their brands or nitro percentages. The closest they have is 16% oil. Is 4% enough to make any never mind,or do I need to stay with 20%? Thanks
