Best drive Imco SCX or Max Machine Worx Billet
Does anyone here have first hand experience with these drives and does any one stand out as the best?
I know MMW customer service is great, and that goes a long way.
I've had friends get passed around with service issues in the past with IMCO stuff when there was a problem.
It's a big expense and my boat eats drives. THANKS!

I just realized that you have to change out the helmet in the gimble and the whole setup is $12,000 for just that and the upper
I guess maybe the question should be, what is the best BOLT ON upper for the money.

I actually already tried a bmax. It slowed the boat down 7 mph! Biggest reason was at that time they only had a 1.35 ratio. If dean still owns bravo shop I wouldn't buy a trolling moter from him. He's a piece of s&@?! Long story short he sold me a "brand new only used once" XR that ended up to be a thrown together abortion missing internal parts, and it came apart immediately, then he dodged my calls.

Don't know where you got your prices, I bought two scx4 from John Teague this spring, complete drives with # 6 shafts, helmets, and resivores for 14,000 @. changing the helmet is no big job. John was great everything went just as he said, drives were delivered ahead of schedule.

Maybe I need to talk to John Teague! Everything I hear about them is very encouraging.
