Interesting. Yeah, somebody get it and let us know how it goes.

The Lynx one is way strong and I never regretted it. After several crashes it's still going strong. The one interesting thing about this Xtreme one is that you could maybe save a little weight (and money).

I have one I'm about to try out this weekend. Xtreme sent me some a few weeks back just haven't had time to test them out. One thing i didn't like about the Lynx one was it really didn't seem to spin all that freely from day one. The belts is set perfectly and i have absolutely no binding anywhere. Maybe I received a bad OWB from the beginning.

I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago and it was simple to install however the spacer washer provided allowed too much play in the main gear. I just used a thicker washer that I had in my parts bin and all was good. After 10 flights all was good with the owb. I had a crash due to a tail blade failure and it seemed to mess up the owb. Was great while it lasted
