Has anybody changed from the regular Flo-Torq hub to the Flo-Torq SSR to stop prop noise on a Pro XS V8 ? What were the results ?

The normal solid brass one with the rubber strips would tink around in my 4 blade furys, the 3 blades it fit snug. I didnt have alot of prop or gear case noise on my 2017. My new 4s v8 came with the ssr, and you gotta press that thing in and out or beat it out with a dead blow and a socket. I kinda wonder if the normal torq flow 2 (all plastic one) would work just to keep in a spare prop for the new V8, so you didnt have to buy a second solid hub kit at $120

I have the regular Flo-Torq hub ( i don't know the number ) on the Tempest Plus now and t makes a lot of noise when going from neutral to forward eve if I do it rapidly.
Real L do you have the forward cone bushing in it and torqued to 100 Lbs?
Boat is in storage right now. I will check in Spring. It is supposed to be torqued to 55 lbs.
first got the V8 I ran a couple of my old Promax props.. It had noticeable low speed vibration. tried a 5 blade Max 5 and the vibration was less. when I added the new hub vibration was gone.
Also note that I have the R motor with solid mtr mounts that IMO will make the vibration more noticeable.
Unless they changed it the tempest with the forward cone washer torqes to 100 lb. unless you have the fat shaft.
I have the fat shaft
