I have not heard of a single SCX upper gearset failure so far. it may have happened, but it has not been posted on here. There have been guys running well over 1000hp through them for many hours without failure. Your 700hp isnt going to hurt it much unless you like getting air and bouncing it off the limiter before reentry. |

I'm going to be selling everything off of the back of my boat in a few weeks. Stellings extension boxes, External steering, HP gimbles and Imco SC'c with -2 shorties. Everything is in great shape, planning on going to the ASD7 conversions. $20K for everything seems like a quick sale price.
Pm me if you have a price. |

Thanks MC240, I was wondering how similar they were.. The IMCO sure is a great looking drive, Wow, thats alot of money.. Hey, i wanted to ask u, if u already have an XR, what would u do to make it better/reliable, without spending so much money on the imco scx?[/QUOTE]
I am actually very curious about this also! That is if there is a reliable way to do it. |
My comments on NXT/Konrad/Arneson were based on all three being products of well-sized companies with proven durability. The Arneson was third based on potential handling issues; not every boat responds well to extended shaft drives. I have no doubt that IMCO and BMax products are built by bright and serious people with good intentions, but they are simply not mainstream enough to be practical in the long run. Once Ilmor's Indy drive becomes available, things will become far more interesting...

Really? How do you figure that? Please elaborate

That SCX lower has a skeg that would stear a freighter...I think that is scrubbing off a lot of speed. It really looks like it could be shortened quite a bit even in a surfacing app.

As for handling, I definitively know you are incorrect there, but hey, I've read so many success stories about your top two it really doesn't matter. |
