Performance
Zip Drive Starter kit |
| The Zip drive system was designed
with performance and durability in mind. The adjustability of this system
will allow you to get the most out of your model. This package deal is
a great time and money saver and comes with most items needed for a build.
This kit is recommended for the Vee-Rod, Dart, and Comet hull. |
Features:
The rudder assembly features a unique slotted blade
to allow the rudder depth to be adjusted up or down. Run it deep for
superb handling or run it shallow for the high speed runs. When the
adjustment is made, it will not affect the linkage what so ever making
an adjustment quick easy and painless. Most blades you have to cut length
to find the sweet spot, now it can be adjusted without cutting. The
vertical pick up hole in the blade is 1/8" ID for proper water
flow.
The Zip drive system was designed with performance and
durability in mind. The Shorty Zip drive is made for use with a collet
style (welded) cable. Have you ever cut your cable a tad too short or
want to try the prop farther back? With this set up the cartridge can
be adjusted to obtain the hull to prop distance wanted. The trim adjustment
is made with a custom made stainless turnbuckle and threads into stainless
for extra strength. Using a wrench, adjusting the trim has never been
easier or more precise.
This drive is offered two ways:
1. Stuffing tube stops in the mounting plate and stub shaft rides on
two bushings in the cartridge. This allows you to pull the cartridge
and cable to grease with the safety collar behind the cartridge.
2. The 5/16" stuffing tube slip fits through the cartridge and
a brass sleeve bushing is used (not included).
