Long travel chain drive swing arms, like a sand rail on a smaller scale
Like the title says I'd like as much info on building this setup as possible, I'm trying to do a scaled down sand rail woods buggy and want to run the chain drive/reduction long travel rear swingarms so it's a hill climbing rock hopping monster. We had to give up 6x6s but wer not giving up offroad, we ain't dead yet. I'm starting with my Yamaha g9 and pretty much just using the main frame and front steering components for now. It may or may not be converted to single seater and trying to stay under 60 inches total. Planning on cutting down the stock transaxle and modifying hubs to accept CV or u joints. Not sure I need CV axles with the minimal arc in movement. Any ideas tips or tricks would be appreciated. I'm thinking I can do this for a couple hundred bucks using max bearings and axles. Not sure how much reduction to run if I want to go with 28-30" rear tires. Thank you guys for any pictures tips tricks or advice on building.
