[QUOTE="jcorlew24, post: 260175, member: 1365"] Yeah I did let my passenger get some time in the driver seat. I tell you what I don't know what felt more weird, driving on the passenger side, or riding on the driver side. It took a while to get used to and was aweful at first, but I feel like the second day I was getting a lot better. I basically felt like I was learning to drive all over again. The motor is badass, but is extremely touchy especially in low range. I think that will be the hardest thing to get used to. I am going to give it one more ride and if I still dont like the gap between high and low, I may change the gearing. The 6:20's, which were put in the buggy to keep you from having to shift into low when racing, did not feel right for the type of riding we were doing. I mostly ran in low range with the tranny in second gear. High in first gear just was not low enough in the big stuff, and I didn't feel in control when I was running low in second gear. When your foot would bounce and touch the pedal the buggy would launch forward. I did figure out if I rested my foot against the skin I was able to control the throttle exceleration better, but it was sketchey at best. [/QUOTE]
