I like that idea.

The only problem I see is placement of the motor/transaxle. Seems it would leave a short front or rear driveshaft, depending on the way you orientate the motor (front engine or rear engine)

jackshafts to pillow bearings to run identical driveshafts front and rear.... makes it even easier to run stock CV axles to those pillow blocks.

You're married you should know better than that :)

Did not like the samurai at all and hated the way the profender buggy rode. I liked atom.

Ryan said it was the way it was geared. The shocks were awesome  :)

Looks like a sweet hawg.  Very odd drivetrain.

suspension and gearing are two completely unrelated things


i think HP agreeing with driver was the main problem liz :)
