Default RE: parts wanted

3/16 drive-lines are old school and most guys have gone to 1/4 " drive line with a 3/16 step-down on the shaft,for all proper props. You can twist up a 3/16 cable in a flash. If your not too far along on the build Id think about going to 1/4 " driveline. You wallet will love you. really I have redone most of my .67 hulls My Dumas Atlas Vanline still need to be updated. 3/16" was all we had for a long time. Until gas showed up ,now everyone going to gas and dumping big nitro engine. Nitro fuel and glow plugs were cheap. A .67 can eat up 16 OZ in a run . Some of us still run big nitro and love it I also run gas and find it more and more easier. No clean up to speak of. pull the cable and open your radio box. Done. No after run oil no nitro to clean up. I just seen a guy twist up a 3/16 cable in 1 min. Last week
