Yeah I was on Mr Gadgets boat and it shifted smooth.

But I was also on my buddys 46 black thunder that bought a new pair a couple years ago and they would shift hard. After some research we found out 2 problems.

Engines were idling to high

Drives needed a "update kit" he bought and installed. Sorry I don't know the details on that. Both problems were fixed at the same time so who knows which one really helped. They now shift smooth.

If your SCX drives are new they should have the "newest parts" in them.

Sorry to hear about your problems and hope you get them fixed!

Imco says idling prob to high also. Going to throw the puter on them this weekend and fix all that.

What oil are you guys using? Ordered some from Teague where I got drives and they sent Amsoil ( of course lol) Severe gear 75w-110
I thought they run Torco or something.

I bought mine from Teague as well, Torco RTF was in the crate that was dropped shipped directly from IMCO if memory serves me correctly?
I have over 70 hours on mine this year, two oil changes and no issues. I have 400 hour 525's in front of them shouldn't be an issue!!!

Pulling engines in a few weeks for refresh over winter!!! I have a winter project!!

Thanks Pat

Hey guys, update on my IMCO swap for XR uppers. After about 50 hours this season and 3 oil changes the drives were perfect. Shifted smooth and oil at change intervals looked like new. I am glad this investment seems to have paid off!

Hard to say, I threw a blade off my Maximus props about mid season and had to replace with stock wheels. I'm looking into lab finishing the maximus props I bought or buuying a set of herings this offseason. If anything maybe 1-2 mph. Nice to have some reliability
