There’s no way that’s normal. Plenty of my friends have scx and not a single one of theirs looks like that. I agree with 02howard. Can’t believe they didn’t step up. Especially with how expensive it is for that upper. Hopefully it’s only looks and doesn’t affect the boat at all.
Is there a specified break in period for the scx? I’ve tried to search but came up empty. Under certain rpm for amount of hours etc? Or is it just install and let her rip
They’re awesome people. Nothing but helpful. Currently replacing my drive with them. Extremely informative the whole process, send pictures etc. Would recommend Aaron and absolute to anyone.
Any thoughts on how it would look going with the silver scx upper but keeping my black extension box? Tried to search and find some pictures but came up blank. and I definitely don’t have the photoshop skills lol.
Eventually will do the full silver set up, but just trying to get back on the...
You able to re use your drive shaft you had for the ext box?
Those pictures make me want to go with silver for mine. But then that means new extension box and wing brackets also to match haha
Ouch! That tooth is from your upper I assume? Menace is about 5 minutes from my house, if you ever need me to swing by there for you I can go almost any day after work. Just let me know.
As of now it seems everything in the motor is still good. Just gotta find where the moisture is coming from. Went to Teague on Monday and they said it could be from oil temp and water temp being too far off from each other. But it has a 3”diameter x 22” long oil/power steering cooler. Will...
Boat is over at absolute now for the last couple days. They call and even text pictures as they’re going through it. Not sure if all shops do that but it’s nice to see pictures and actually see what’s going on.
As of now, the leak down came back good, they’re pressure testing the headers then...
The boat will hopefully be at absolute within the next couple days. Talked to Aaron for a while today. Super informative. He’s going to tear the drive off, hopefully be able to keep my sc lower, and also dig into the motor, leak down test etc and get back to me if it’s damaged or not. Fingers...
807hp, would have to dig up the paperwork for the torque, 1:36 gears with a 30p 4 blade. Not really too sure on max rpm. Have never opened her up all the way
Going to call absolute in the morning and see when they can get me in. Fingers crossed for just a drive. And at this point I feel I might as well just spend the money and go with an scx.
If it only blew the gears in the drive would I need to replace the whole unit? Or just depends on how bad...
Definitely a bummer day yesterday. Things happen, but sucks after barely a month of owning it. All gauges were reading spot on, rpm, temp, pressure etc, then bam. Instantly backed off but could barely get the shifter back to neutral then shut her down. Maybe 5-10 seconds total before it was off...
Stereo question. All stereo and subs sound and work awesome, until my phone rings. After the ring ends or call is over, music starts playing again, subs don’t start working again until I quit out of Spotify and restart it. Anyone experienced this? Spotify issue? Previous owner used Apple Music...
I loved it all weekend. Felt stable at pretty much any speed. Was mostly trying to learn the boat, what it likes and doesn’t like, so a lot of just cruising around 55-65 but overall felt very comfortable and easy to drive. Has the porpoise from 70-76 but easily powered through it. Held her...
