I am all about this if he takes 15K. wow, that's a nice ass parts list. sell the axles and put some of your own in with the right trusses, track widths and whatever else. I say do it. I think that fugger has some serious potential. btw, 4.10s are better with that case. you want the wheelspeed in xrra.
yeah joel, you have 6.17 with what tcase gears? lets say 205, so that's 30.8:1, about what I like for wheelspeed wheelin. with a 3.8 atlas you are looking at 58.6, or about half what yours has in low. that means you will be in third gear to make it move, let alone rip. this is from experience with heath's buggy with 4:1 in the tcase and 4.1:1 in the ends. geared higher than 58:1 and its too slow on the high speed sections.
paul, with your 4.10's in it its ~39:1, perfect as fawk for xrra. way lower than mine (33:1) and still high enough that you'll be getting gears on the way through. I doubt you'll use up that gear with 40" tires.
that is the most financially feasible way you will make this **** happen
finishing the chassis....easy for paul or I
joints, you need big lowers. those aren't big enough. make a deal with mattO and get some big boys for labor
I say sell those bling axles down the river for coin and put yours in with the Right gears and rock the fawk out.
