I am building a new buggy with a 1915cc engine with a scat cam and dual carbs with a sandfox frame. I mostly ride in Trevorton and St.Clair and was wondering which trans would work better for my setup. I am planning on running 15 wide v-treads but haven't decided on that just yet. Any information would be helpful.

By the looks of some of the hills in trverton you need wheel speed the 6 rib would probably be the best choice imo

ok thanks for your input. I am fairly new to VW buggies and im treating the build like a learning process

Asking question is the best idea to learn more about buggies. Feel free to keep asking questions...

Here is an old thread with some good info on 3 Rib and 6 Rib.

Don't use a 3 rib. You will hate it for your set up. Especially for the hills in your area.
