Erick im curious to see how yours handles Im at a loss right now .

Hey Dean, sorry to hear that the handling didn't work out for you.

Just food for thought, a friend of mine just installed some scx-4's on his 460 Black Thunder and the boat exhibited some of the behavior that you have described in yours. He tried a 1" spacer and he says the boat handles great now.

Give me a shout if I can help. Have you talked to Rick to get his take on it?
Eddie

No Eddie I have not checked with him , it seems to pull good all the way up to 80 90 free and easy and then kind of really load the props or to 5500 and run out of power seems like theres nothing more and thats when the action started , definately ran stronger with the bravo settup and 1.5 gears ??

Can you please share some before and after performance numbers your friend saw? Is there a thread on this change? PM me if that would be better. Sorry for the hijack.

Sorry Erick , toe is about 0 which I know is wrong , but it should not act this crazy . I just wonder if there is such a thing as the drives being to close together ? is spray from each drive blowing out the other ? I mean at 85 90 my slip figures out to 30+ % @approx 5500 ?? even at 42mph I was only 2800 which is maybe not to bad for cleaver props ?? I never thought the outcome would be this bad .

Dean, where is your x-dimension at now?

For what it's worth my slip figured out to 9% 5300@ 93mph I also had Wilson Custom Marine blueprint my lowers, Craig said he cleaned them up quite abit. Reggie claims my boat runs real level and solid.
