1/10th Scale Wire Drive

[TomGracey]

Thinking of switching my 1/10th scale FE hydro from 3/16th flex shaft to a Wire drive set up. But I'm unsure on what size wire to use .062 , .078 or .093.
the present flex shaft tube only has slight bend in it right now. Motor is a Himax HB 3630 1500 6 pole

The main reason I'm considering this is at the Hi RPMs FE motors turn the flex shaft's have a tendency to chatter even with a Teflon tube liner

TNX for the input

Tom, .062 is a little dainty depending on the prop you run. I would opt for .078 as a good balance. .093 is a little stiff and may be not detrimental that beneficial.
