Thanks David!

Matt & Joe, I'll see what I can find.

Octura makes a flex hex in 5mm. I would assume the thread size is .8 but if you want to be sure give Octura a call. They have them for 3 sizes of cable, .098, .130, and .150. You can order the one for .130 online from finedesign.

I am not sure I have ever seen a compression collet for an engine that small....but U-Joints are readily available.

(I am using Dumas U-joints on an ASP .12 and it works great...you could probably even use the Traxxas nylon ones)

Hope this helps...
