Been there and done that in 2005 with Imco Extreme SC's. How they dealt with it sorta burned me on the IMCO brand. Glad I got rid of Bravo's.

Same exact thing on an 8 hour old drive going 30 MPH. Just above plane in zero visibility on radar heading to long beach.

Never got a chance to beat on anything - tooth went - and the whole train stops... snapped shaft ...same deal.

Have about 100 hours of the rebuild mostly from easy lake running.

That is the top cap from an IMCO Extreme SC. They integrate the shower into the top cap.

When I blew this drive the plate which bolts to the top cap (it looks like a disk) also blew off. My buddy who was running next to me saw a shiny, sparkly thing fly through the air moments before the drive blew apart.

Can an IMCO SC lower be used with a BMAX upper?

Yes, but you'll need a BMax vertical shaft. Basically a BMax vertical shaft is a little shorter and has larger splines. There was a member here on OSO that had a setup just like that on his Fountain with 800's.

With all the XR's and IMCO extremes i went through i should have went the Arneson...but at that point i was commited to a Bravo config.
If i could turn back time it would have saved me thousands.
But my Max's and Modified IMCO lowers are surviving.
