Ok yea that would make sense where gear is on the propshaft.

Eddie and Travis getting the new SCX combo on and bleeding air from the trim rams, since we added spacers to them.

Finally got 2 more pieces finished this week. I had removed the compass from the dash and put a gauge blank in it place during the makeover. Since all my gauges have bezels around them I decided to have the blank milled down to fit the bezel and after it was finished I had it powdercoated, as well as dropped of to the local laser engraving shop to have the logo added. Also got lucky over the winter and found a hach ram cover from a fountain that covers the sleve and motor both. I had to have a new sleeve portion made since the ram it was used on was shorter. Got that piece of pipe made, then it was off to the powdercoating shop and added the logo to it as well.

That’s a keeper right there.

What are your thoughts on the scx’s with the dual downshaft lowers?

I really like them from what time I have on them, especially not having to worry about failures in the lowers. I can't tell there is any speed loss swapping from the SC lowers to the SCX lowers, like some people talk about having issues with. This girl likes to ride on top of the water and with the high X dimension those 34p 5 blades would take a toll on the SC lowers in a short amount of time. I also went with the 1 7/16 prop shaft on mine, just for peace of mind as well.

Thank you and Nikki is making sure we have a great summer this year, taking into consideration where we were last year!! I'm thinking we can make that happen this year for sure. That would be a fun get away for us.

Thanks!! I've asked many people about the SCX DDS lowers and they are the best upgrade you can get before you step into the bigger drives. Lots of people running these with big hp and no failures to be spoken of from everyone I've talked to. I figured if i lost a lower and it took the upper with it then Im out quite a bit of cash thats not far off from the SCX package. That was my reasoning for adding these behind the 3.8 whippled 525's and the drive guardian.
