Thanks for the info. I will defiantly check them out. Looking to keep escs and motors on the cool side and more choices on props helps. I think it could push mid 60s but would be more fun without the worries at 55.

i have been looking at these drives for a while now, wanted to build a twin skater cat but in gas. im interested to see how these hold up. i know their gears are somewhat weak in the electric started for gas, but they do seem to stand behind the products. looks good so far. you even got the colors i wanted. i know they are not cheap.

also i am sure you can have the output shafts turned down to 3/16 for more prop choices.

I do worry about the durability of the gears. I have pulled the lower end out to inspect the gears and they look very thick and well cut. One of the gas forums someone did a rockwell hardness test on them and tested well. I will be breaking them in under light load and changing oil afterwards. I will also be easy on the throttle. Instant throttle any drive is very hard on them. Again thanks for the good input.

Brent, I'm definately going to watch and wait to see how things work and hold up for you before I spend the monies...tks for being the crash test dummy on this one brother DJ

[tazman]

Hope they hold up. New products can be very cool and stink at the same.lol. I don't mind being the test dummy and at this price it might be really sick or really stink lol. Can't be successful without the chance failing.

Very nice, if they are rated up to 10 hp and you set it up to pull 180 amps per side you are basically at 10 horse on 10s. They look plenty strong though.

Hey everybody making some progress. Got tabs mounted and water pickups. Waiting for the ups guy for building supplies. Will post some more pics when I get more done. I need to order escs. Plan on swordfish 300 pros. Seen good and bad on them. Any input? Or should I work a little ot and get the mgms.

Parts coming in. Sorry for the delay will be mocking up mounts. Soon. These toys get expexpensive quick. Will be doing some mods on the drives I pulled them all the way apart and did not like what I saw on the gears. Will be sending them to a machine shop and having cnc cut the fronts off and milled to run direct drive like the werners. Won't be as cool but faster and more reliable.

[tazman]

More stuff. Zoom in on gears and notice the chips. May be nothing to worry about but I don't think I want to chance it with the money involved on this one. Hate to see her burn because of a jammed gear.

Did the drives feel smooth when you spun them by hand?

[tazman]

The one spun easy. The other one had a stiff spot. That's why I tore them apart to inspect them. I have a savage flux xl with the "bulletproof" shafts and diffs that still manage to fail and don't appear to have quality issues before they have even been ran "4hp". Mods on the lower units are only about 100 bucks. Will have the looks and function without the reliability issues. I also should note that the prop shaft will still spin on three bearings and will loose about 6 ounces a drive

My artists skills not so hot. This is the plan.

Tabs and outlets

Nice job man, looks great.

Thanks. Working on motor mounts and escs. Takes a while. Measure five times cut once
