Mines black and the lower is not painted.It does look bad ass but it is a lot of cash..I was told to be easy on it because they do break..

I have imco sc with 800 aside over 100 hrs no failures , just switched to 1.26 gears , old gears looked good as new , guess I'm lucky cause I'm pretty hard on it

How much would it cost to replace an XR drive

Also, if the imco drive is too much and not an option,
can't you just upgrade a bravo drive for alot less money, and would it be as strong as the SCX Imco drive?...

IMCO has the same internals as an XR. It's essentially an XR drive in a different case. The IMCO SCX Extreme I thought was 23k new.

Ya , I agree the black imco does look great! gives the back of the boat a race look.... some of the imco drives aren't black, they are all like a silver/grey color, which looks nice too....

I guess you have the option to pick black or silver?

Thanks MC240, I was wondering how similar they were.. The IMCO sure is a great looking drive, Wow, thats alot of money.. Hey, i wanted to ask u, if u already have an XR, what would u do to make it better/reliable, without spending so much money on the imco scx?

If your upper is running XR gears the ratio is changed in the lower. From what I gather the upper gears are the issue, they either pop a tooth off or gall.

Yes the ratio is in the lower , I checked everything though , the upper looked new as well

I am actually very curious about this also! That is if there is a reliable way to do it.

With all due respect. In your second post you stated a +800HP blower engine in your boat with an XR Bravo Drive.
You are listening here but you are not HEARING!

When you listen only and don't Hear you stop learning.
