I was told on dec 10th that they would be shipping me my new drives within 3-4 weeks, I'm guessing that ill be seeing them the first week or 2 into january. I strongly believe that these drives will be just as reliable as the original scx uppers were. the gears are the same as the original scx in both the uppers and lowers. Imco did their homework on this drive. Its going to be nice not to have to worry about breaking sc lowers anymore. Im going to be putting over 1175/tq and 1325hp to these drives in a fairly light boat and i will post on this site how they are holding up and how my boat reacted to the change in drives/props.

I think the beefier imco gimbal ring is required when using the -4 drive the stock way too weak,the stainless one from x-power would probably also work running the drive on the surface is always tough on the lower gears only time will tell if they can handle it for a good amount of hrs,also with any new unit it is going to take some testing to figure out the sweet spot for the x-dimension and prop diameter for best results,set up right this drive looks like it is going to be a winner

Slow but steady. I'm redoing the cabin now because Eddie's shop was full. I hope to get my power installed with the new rigging sometime next month, then it's a matter of deciding on drives.
How's your motor project going?

It does seem to be a nice product, it would have been nice if it was on the market when I was upgrading in 06/07'. To each their own however, I just can't imagine spending all that cash with a tail-light warranty.

I talked with Imco and they are shipping the new -4 now, so the people that had them pre-ordered should have them by now. I ask about delivery on new orders and he said they could ship in about 1 week.
So, let's hear some -4 feedback from someone that is actually using them!!
