No real reason you can't use a snowmachine reverse chaincase with a non sled motor.

have you got a web sit for rpm so i can have a look at a box thanks

First of all...

I went two (2) years without reverse. I just put it on and it's a must. It cost me $300 but it looks to be worth it.

.... I forgot the 2nd item....

Don't take shortcuts with this. There have been many a project that once it's together due to bad engineering it never works. Then the thing sits around forever and is sold at a huge loss.

You've got your options, Mark laid those out for you. It was already said, but I'll repeat it again. Figure out what you want and then put it together from there. Speed, Torque, Long-Term. If you try to get it all you'll end up with nothing.

Also, shop around and be patient. You'll find the good deals this way and end up with a terrific buggy.

hey guys and gails,


im new to the group and just wondering the same thing... im debating on motors right now also and reverse now since i am build a cart off badland bugggy spec's that weighs like 400lbs without a driver(yes this is about right but i think its going to be around 1000 after) is it possible to take a atv and use the differential case and handle to switch the gears to reverse with a motorcycle motor?

any info or set up you guys may have might be needed...


thanks
p.s sorry for the hi-jack

Right now there is a guy doing a motor swap with a cb 400 and he is planning on using the stock reverse box off of the cart i will post the link to the thread follow and see how it works im doing the same looks like it will do the job pretty good.

Heres the post almost finished with the build it looks promising.
