Interesting...
Because I am planning of going to SCX's for my winter upgrade.
Speaking from experience... That You are in the best, most honest hands with Nopper marine.
Hopefully Dave @ imco does his part.

Impact sockets are actually softer then chrome sockets to absorb the shock, but they are also thicker. If you use chrome on a impact gun it will wear the gun out faster. If the Impact socket was to hard it would shatter. Just like fiberglass in a boat flexes so it does not crack over every wave.
So I do not think its fair to say "the gears are still soft like an xr" in a negative way. There is some engineering that goes into gears that neither of us know enough about.
Should there be a drive that last longer for us high performance boaters, YES. Should fuel be lower, YES. But we the people choose to keep paying so why should anyone change that?

Oceanoutlaw.....Pretty sure they are not the same Gears as the NXT transmission.
I have read (but have no proof) that the NXT Transmission uses parts from the Bravo XR but mounted sideways instead of vertical.
