No I just sold the upper part of this drive to a guy AS IS. I just told the guy I would try to find out more about it.

i bought a couple of these so called reman's xr's uppers, through land and sea , they dont come with a serial number or stickers just a reman sticker that does peel off, we inspected and inquired as too whats up as when we checked them over there was nothing used in them, was told by merc that when there is a warrantee issue this is the replacement and they just call them reman for whatever reason..
i also have a good used bravo 1:50 upper cheap as well as one blowed up but have a good set of gears for it 1:36

I havent had a problem since the last rebuild (20hrs) ago. For the price of the reman and then the rebuild I could have bought a XR.
Good luck

My Starboard Reman Broke After 4 Hours Of Run Time And When They Pulled It Off The Drive Shaft Fell Out And Hit The Mechanic In The Foot.apparntly The Nut That Holds The Shaft In On The Inside Came Off And Turned Itself Into Shrapnell And Trashed Upper And Lower.i Got The Word Today That They Are Warranteing The Upper And A New Lower As Well
