Standard length on the drives and I have the SC lowers. The SCX are so much beefier than the Xr's they look like a cross between the NXT's and Konrads. ?I only have a few hours on them so far so my fingers are still crossed but I am cautiously optimistic based on what everyone else has told me.
I don't have a good pic of the drives, don't mind the duck!:lolhit: If SCXs hold up I will likely go that route along with my imco sc lowers. Now I need to make some bucks so I can switch to a stagger set up. I can't imagine leaving 5 mph on the table :) |

Mike, you will not find a better boat! SCX drives and 700hp = a boat that runs faster than any other 700 V and even with most 1075 V's.

Holy crap, we all know how well OL does when it comes to actually showing up and putting up the numbers by now. how many years has it been since OL hasn't shown up for that top speed record again???????

All you have to do is come for a ride. Tom's boat is very fast and faster than most but a SV43 OL does run 118-120mph with stock Mercury or Ilmor power. Tom you'll have to come north for a run as I dont think we'll be in AC this year. Any #'s since the SCX install?
As for comparing boats, yes any of the newer sit down OL's w/ 700s will give a run and probably beat me. But for an 8 year old boat.... I am doing all right! :drink: Dollar for dollar, there is nothing that touches a ZRC. As for the SCX, I am not in a hurry to test the top speed. I have noticed no difference in speed vs. rpm through the range of 3500-4500. I had the props redone over the winter by B-Blades and that is skewing it a little too and giving me better bottom end. They did an amazing job! I can run 35mph at 2500 rpm and hit 60mph at 3500. By 4500 I am doing 85. I was running a fast idle of 1200 and the props started to aerate and the boat wanted to jump on plane. So far I am very happy with everything! |

No question Tom. The ZRC is flat out unreal for the money. Fast, handles the rough like nobody's business, and is super comfortable. I am liking the idea of running 115 more and more!:evilb:
It looks too sweet to give up on it now! |

After popping 3 Xr Drives, I am now running Imco SCX uppers and it feels just as fast. 1:50 gears, 32 5 blade herrings, rare 60 degree overcast day in Miami. 3 people, 1/2 fuel, perfect chop. Anybody ran Ilmor's in them? |
