Guys, I really appreciate all of your feedback, even if it did digress slightly, that's what happens in conversations (I've been to enough team briefings to know that!).
Anyway, I will go with the dual Huco couplings as it allows the clearance I require under the mount. These will be aligned as near as perfect as possible even if dual couplings do allow for some mis-alignment!
The motors going in are Deans Kestral V, not an over torqued motor I presume and are brushed motors rather than brushless..........I presume brushless motors have more torque and therefore a silicone type coupling would be more appropriate.
I tend to over-engineer things, hate the idea of failings etc.......comes from my RC aircraft days.........over-engineering is king with these guys!
Next question is....................oil or grease for the propshaft?..................JOKING!!
As I said, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to answer my question. Top guys on a top forum.
All the best Dave
Stan, I will endeavour to get pics on here sometime..........although they wont match the superbness of your builds, I can only dream of matching such glorious modelling. Thanks also for taking time to chat on the old dog and bone. Cheers mate and enjoy Blackpool!
