[QUOTE="skipnrocks, post: 695279, member: 3166"] A buggy for the kids what is needed? Ok here are the specs Lightweight (less than 2500LBS) Engine 3800 out of a buick 4t65e trans Ford 9 rear Dana 60 Front Trans ratio 1st 2.94:1 4th .70:1 Trans axle ratio (t-case) 3:1 Diff ratio 3.54:1 40 in bfg stickies. So here is the dilemma. The axle ratio is what it is because that is how they came. Now were heading to moab for a week. and I am thinking that it might be better to put a 5.38 in the axles to reduce stress on the trans axle, make it more controllable, and lower the top speed from 80 to about 50. But if the trans axle will hold up and the it will climb without having to rev the crap out of it I would rather hold off on spending the money. What are your opinions on if it will hold up, and if it will be controllable in its current state. [/QUOTE]
