Since you have two Indy drives, maybe you could install temp gauges and be our guinea pig... :drink:

It seems to me that there may be more than one "best choice" for a particular drive, given the comment's about Teague's 525/#6 combination versus others who are running much bigger power.

Things are NEVER simple. :picard1:

Anyone try running Ali Syn? All of the tunnel boat guys are running this stuff.

Imco recommends ONLY Torco RTF gear oil for their SCX drives.
Any experience with it Pat?
