Would you be driving a buggy down the highway? no. The second point I will make is this, you don't have to find gears to match the rear when you can just take another front axle and have rear steer. :haha: Also since it's a buggy with no street action, a pinion brake like the cheap asses with mogs who don't want to spend money on discs would work too. I will vouch for the durability of these axles since my dad and I have managed to keep ours in one piece throughout all of our ventures. Motor placement within a tube chassis could also prevent the above centered driveline issue. In my book it's a good idea and I will be doing some research on it. I know there are plenty of commercial and implement salvage yards to be searched out there. That is all. :flipoff2:
EDIT: I also thought about the Hydrostatic transmission possibilities as well???
