Rubber coupling on rear prop

<< < (2/2)

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---When rubber 'goes off' it transmits more noise than it should so it's not worth putting up with an old one, that said they are fail-safe in operation.

Not quite...I saw one ripped apart at this years Belgium National. The metal sleeves built into the rubber that hold the bolts, ripped straight out. The prop didn't fall off coz it's got nowhere to go but it was a real mess.

I've seen one that was just metal - all the rubber had fallen off - was still being driven though although the guy did complain about more clonking than usual  :roll:  (hence they fail-safe?)
