That sounds like you need to talk to "Babychains" Firebug for the little version. Or for the big buggys version, Rockrockets or check out Curt' site http://www.chaindriverail.com/

Hi . You have to seriously consider the Totally New Concept buggy page.Improve on it.But if you've got the money to go CD then I understand.

wth??? where did my post go??... well me ways yea i got a s/c 3800 out of gtp that i plan on doin sumthin with but i wanna do sumthin with my car now i really like the way it rides and climbs but im tired of putting a trans in every cple rides i blew my 5 rib up every time i took it out.. put a 1k in a 6 rib broke axles, but better axles in then blew my cple week out trans up again....but id like to get some good pics of ur build to take a better look at it... thanks brad

yea i did a pretty good job pissn rock off... so hopefully firebug will chime in...

My version is a down scaled version,,not like the original . It is more bolt on but is limited to sprocket size. I have been working on this prototype for nearly 2 years now and it is getting close to a good system. I will get some pics later.

yea im looking for a down size version im not interested in runnin ne thing bigger then 35's, just tryn for some gear reduction thats all..any pics and info are greatly appreciated.... thanks brad

If you run 4.86 R&P and 14 and 24 tooth sprockets you can run 35's in second gear if you have the power . Do it with a midshift tranny, torsional axles, any tranny upgrades you can afford and it works fine..Better with inline 4 or 6 cylinder for weight bias because the tires are scooted back a foot from stock,,hard to do it closer. Mine won't climb like a lighter buggy but it does very well. I would recomend this set up to those running heavier engines. It is still in the prototype stage and many improvements will be made in time.
I am sure DD is onto something too, both ways take advantage of easily accessed engines,,,,just depends on you fabbing skills and bank account. Use everything you see to add to your own ideas. Nothing is gonna be an overnight task but hang in there and enjoy the build.
