750hp Nordic Heat outdrive setup
By the grace of god my 750HP Nordic heat has survived 3 seasons with a bravo 1. I had to change the lower gears once and religiously changed the oil with Bravo shop oil, but for the most part it has survived. I am looking to make a jump in power and wanted honest opinons on different drive options. I have ran across the following options with good and bad storied i've read about all of them. I am not looking for a arneson setup and mainly are between the the drive options below. Any pro's/con's on these would be awesome. Used drives are nearly out of the question as I got screwed over by an OSO member johnnyboatman on a suppposed Max machine drive that turned out to be junk.

^^^What he said. The SCX would be my first choice as well out of that list.

Yes.

The newest Imco SCX including the SCX lower (not the blunt nose but the pointed noise and redesigned skeg that resembles the SC lower and the scx-4 lower)
Every option you have listed re uses the same JUNK merc XR gears. I don't care what magic potion these companies try to tell you these JUNK gears WILL prematurely wear out, pit, and send metal through your beautiful drives especially when they are overpowered. The reason your current drive last is due to the older stronger forged gears. Those don't exist anymore. So the only way to solve the problem is to use larger gears that are also forged better and assembled better in the SCX. |
I thought Bmax uses their own gears as well?
