From what I have heard, not experienced, every drive failure will be due to the Mercury gears that they use and thus not a warranty repair. Please don't jump on me for chiming in when I don't own them!!!! I gave the disclaimer with my statement

I use the Maxx internals in my XR's and have been happy with them. I had a warrenty claim and they made it right!! Thanks Arron. Having said that ,,, I feel that all bravo type drives live and die because of tired oil and or poor set-up... The guys at Maxx have figured that out. and have changed some parts to give the drive more strenght and tighter tolerances,,, thats why they live longer !! Good Luck RHC

We run their Billet lowers and their beefed uppers on our 1997 TopGun. We did blow our Starboard lower and then the upper last summer in the first 30hrs or so @ 800hp+ . They stood behind them 100% and also turned them around the same week,great service in my book.
We have since pulled a bit of boost out of our program and they seem to be holding up well. With 45 total hrs on Starboard drive and 15 on port,there is zero play and no sign of metal in our fluid.

I have a pair of Max Machine drives that were very expensive. Max Machine advertises 1468 HP, 1100 HP, 1000 HP. With Mercury upper gears, which are probably seconds, all they are is an overpriced Bravo. As far as I'm concerned, the drives are junk.
