I am working on installing a new VC460 in my Carryall 1 and am wondering about high speed gears. I worry that since I have to run in reverse the gearing is going to be ridiculously low. I am running 25" tires and this is mainly a hunting and neighborhood buggy so real high speed is not my goal, but I also don't want to top out at 18MPH either. I have a set of 8:1 here in my shop that I can easily slap in, but wondering if its worth it. Also not sure if the motor will have enough torque to pull the taller gears with the big tires and loaded say with two adults. Anyone have any experience with this setup?
Here is a pic after the initial rebuild but before recent tear down to install the new powerplant. I plan on posting a build thread soon as well.
