Slightly bigger wire, same kind of ball bearing strut setup.

Interesting: may be the .21 is much more powerfull and the reduction of friction is proportionally less then with a .12 engine.

I use wire drives from Jeff's site, if ran on the bench too long you can heat up
the Loctite used to mate the wire to the bored out stub shaft. Had to reglue
one with Loctite 638 as the engine was peaking 50k ish. while setting the NV.
Now I quickly get the lil screamer in the water as soon as possible after setting
the NV.

I have never had good luck with the glued ones on my .12 boats...they would always break loose as soon as I got on the gas! I think the power pulse of the bigger IC engines breaks the glue pretty quick.

Yes big leap in torque with a .12. For me using the Picco .05 / .8cc engine just
barely able to get away with it using 1/8" stub shaft. Next would have been steel
tube with the grub screw through the dog drive to cable trick. Use to do that for
brushless motors back in the day.
