The drive isnt the problem the boat is to short !!:kiss: Now when Christer is driving with double ext. box The boat runs great in a straight line , But in turn it looks scaary ! The best drive for the bat is the volvo DPX-r Its like driving on tarmac with slicks ! sorry little oftopic there !

Christer does not push it in the turns or on the straights. Remember, he's to old to get beat up he says:D

The boats bottom is not the same. Ocke would not advise him to do anything to it and it needed a tune up. I've seen the photos and the boat runs nose down. This is why he added all that weight to the rear and he extended it so far. Poor balance or terrible bottom??? 28' V is to small for a drive that heavy and long without a reason. The DPX will never hold up nor go over 100 like he wants so that is out.:eek:

Looks like the Arneson will cost me an additional 12K or so. I would hope for the 12K I would get better reliability and some more speed. Anyone do a Arneson on a smaller V hull? Mine is a 27 with a platform its called a 29.

i know this is a 10 year old post but did you ever come to a conclusion Don? I’m in the same exact position with a 27 Kryptonite upgrading from a XR drive

Multiple activators over 120 with SCX. Why do a science experiment with an ASD?

I have a full Arneson ASD-8/ SCS package. Any parts from the drop box can be bought right now from SCS. Any parts for the ASD-8s can be bought from twin-disc. You can completely avoid the difficultly of getting parts from Arneson, yet still have Arneson drives. If you are interested, I have them for sale in the classifieds. They are way cheaper than a set of SCX drives and much stronger.
