I considered going ASDs in my Cig after eating multiple XRs each season for 4 yrs. Its roughly an additional $15k ish if I remember correctly over SCXs.
Went w SCXs mostly due to very few Cigs w ASDs and have been trouble free since. I sent back to Imco after 4 seasons and Fred called me personally and told me a few options but it was mostly just bearings and misc- very minimal. Suggested I just swap sides every winter and I would get more time even.

BUT I will have to say- I have met another person pushing 1000 HP and he had all kinds of issues. I am only 750ish.
and I am NOT easy on them

Thanks Quinlan that is my concern as well -- just very few people running the ASDs in general, let alone with my setup.

So what is this Instagram user that you are speaking of? Asking for a friend.

Getting parts and support thru Arneson is going to be a problem. 1 star

Quinlan,
what lowers are you running? I have a TG with 750’s running SCX’s with SC lowers. Had to replace lower gear set after half a season. I was told prop free spinning was the issue. Basically, getting a little air and reentry into water. I’m very aware of it, so was surprised with they failed. I run in the Gulf of Mexico, so there’s always odd rollers that sneak up on ya.
