Running about 900hp with a pro charger through a bravo 1 xr. 2 years and 90 hrs later with 0 problems so far. That is with a five blade prop also.

What seems to be the best drive package at a reasonable price? At least the bravo 1"s are cheap to replace or rebuild.

Bravo drive gets treated very gently.

Did you beef up the motors and how was the ECU from vortech, everyone says the one from procharger is no good.

Thanks

Keep your drives and buy 1 or 2 matching spares. When they break swap out the spare and have the broken one rebuilt, then repeat, and repeat, and repeat some more!

Or upgrade drives to (theres no perfect drive, especially for a low price)

Arneson and SCX offer the best Bang for the buck IMO

The SCX-4 prob will end up costing as much or more then the Arneson with no gain in your application by the time you add a extension box, hydraulic steering, Stainless Gimbal ring, Helmet, Wilson Custom Marine blueprinted lower etc etc

B-Max is just as much as the SCX but still uses bravo lower gears. Johns customer service is great though.

X-Power seems to have a great product but at 35k each

What seems to be the week link, the upper or lower unit?

Any info would be great, I live in New Hampshire and wouldn't mind going to far for one.

Vortech marine website.

My scarab with procharged 502's gets on plane easy with the bigger props. Cruising speed is 60-64 and top speed is 86. My only ***** is you can hardly hear the blowers. I would love some straight cut gears!

I have been running M4 Pro Chargers on my 2006 33 Eliminator Daytona with twin fuel injected 1000 hp motors, Imco SCT drives with 6 blade 35p props for 6 yrs. Sheared off a few prop shafts over the years but they hold up pretty well. 125 hrs on motors and drives.
