    that forces you to find axles w/ both differentials on the drivers side, which really dont exist... the samurai axles both have passengers drop diffs... also you are offsetting the engine ALOT to the front just so you can have a decent lenght rear driveshaft... technically you are correct, however practically it wont work...

    ohh, I think I know what you did now. So you're running drive shafts straight from the transmission to the front and rear? For some reason I was thinking you had a transfer case tucked away and only used one output from the transmission.

    zactly... no t-case, driveshafts come strait out of the transaxle... effectively 4 lo all the time... max speed about 50-55mph on the rev limiter...

    My neighbor owns Pro-Boat, his name is Tim.

    Tim put nitrous on his son's go-kart. His son is like 10 years old.




    You and him would get along great. LOL

    I figured you knew about the reverse rotation I just didn't think anyone else would know that.

    Also, since the honda tranny already has a finaldrive in it and you are running that to axles that have finaldrives in them then the gear reduction is insane. Think about it people the tranny is setup to turn axles that are directly to the wheels. He is running that to axles with another 5.13to1 ratio. Do you know what the crawl ratio is on this?

    acctually i still have the 3.73:1 in the axles... the tires are only 31s, so i could easily go to a lower ratio for a larger tire... i think i figured the ratio at about 40:1 plus the mechanical advantage of the torque converter... its low, but she is able to comfortably run 40+ mph in overdrive... she likes going fast...

    Sorry I thought I saw you were running gears. Anyways, what lockers are you running or are they spools. Also, do know how much it weighs?

    you sir are wrong... when you get the oppurtunity to ride w/ a 10yo girl flogging the shit out of her buggy like that, then you tell me you would rather watch than ride... the vids were genuinely candid, i posted what i had, but thank you for your input...

    I'm not talking about for you. I'm talking about us, the viewers. The camera is shaking so much you can't see. You would be better mounting a camera to the cage.
