ok i have tore out 2 of the 538 3 ribs in 3 weeks with an 1835. I am thinking of buying a new mid engine that is built to the hilt ( for the dunes) and get all of the guys extra parts. what will a mid engine do in the woods and would it be worth my time and money? I needf info because this guy needs money and is ready to sell.jason108

If you are breaking 3 ribs with an 1835, you must be running them pretty hard. How big are your tires and when are things breaking.. Climbing? Jumping?

i believe hes got 31 inch turkey tracks i dont know how its breaking i ran a 2180 and 35 boggers and only broke my 3rib 1 time in 4 years and i know one day we was obet a bomb drop i would leave the ground and never let out the gas and hit and keep going i had a lucky 3 rib i know lol but with his setup it should hold up

what is breaking on the 3 ribs and were they "virgins" or had they already been run in a buggy?????

as far as the mid engine i have not seen very many in the woods other than clayton's yellow buggy and DD's passatt buggy

however if the mid engine setup is built very well it may do ok but unless it is one heck of a deal you could build a bigger motor and put a built 6 rib in the buggy you have now for the same or maybe even less money

correct me if i'm wrong, but the only 2 ways to run a bus trans in mid engine configuration is to flip the trans upside down, or run a reverse rotation engine (v-tec).

it is one heck of a deal yes. it has the 2275 motor that i want and is a very nice car. but that being said it is for sand made light and super fast.and it has the $2900.00 sand gear box in it.
as for the black car i dont know what it is but i am not getting the r%p i am getting gears. this weekend it was 2nd last weekend it was the spline shaft gear and 1st.

sounds like a car tranny,,,to high geared for the woods
