Default RE: Gear vs flex-shaft for outboard drive? Which is better?


ORIGINAL: martno1fan

Flexshaft setups are far more reliable than any geared setup .

So then why even offer geared legs? For the scale look? They also put the propeller closer to the hull, don't they, which probably has some advantages (less torque on the steering, quicker turns, perhaps?).
