I pulled the pinion to peek and the gears look new after 50ish hours.
Great ! I like the sound of that, Hope mine look like new after 50 hrs.

Mine did same thing....until I switched to Bmax oil. Much smoother overall shifting in and out of gear. If your having good luck with the Torco..then no reason to switch.:bunnydance:

OK, the drives are hung on the boat and my steering rams which come off my extension box do not align properly with the attachment points on the SCX upper.

My previous setup had a stainless steel plate made by latham that bolted on the top of the XR Drive. We are going to use that plate as a template and make a new plate to go on the top of the SCX drive then everything else will be the same, tie bar etc.

Anybody set theirs up like this before?

Here is what mine looks like. You are lucky if you can use you old tie bar. I had to get a new one for the scx. It is much thicker than the xr/bravo one.

This is the best pic I have of my old setup. looks like you have IMCO extension boxes with the long offset for your steering rams. Mine are stellings and the steering ram comes right off the side of the box. Making up a plate similar to what was on the bravos to align the steering rams for the IMCO uppers. Tie bar will still work. Just wondering what affect it may have on the upper with the plate bolted there.

If I were you I would call imco and show them your pic.

I also use torco as others have stated. Nothing against Royal Purple but the way I see it is torco is what imco suggests and they are the ones that did the R&D on the drive so that is what I use. I know it is a little pricey but if I did have a problem I bet the first question they would ask is what drive oil did you use. This is just my opinion. I am no expert.

Amsoil just came out with a 75-250 Marine Gear Lube for drives. Try it and let me know how it works.
My rep said, "try it, if the drive breaks, don't pay for it".
Uh, OK?
