Off road buggy

[snowrat420]

I am in the process of planning out and purchasing parts for an off road buggy. I have a 25hp v twin, honda odyssey fl 250 gearbox and clutches, this is my first question will the honda cluches handle the 55lb ft of torque this engine puts out, or is there a better clutch setup, also i am planning on it having fully independent suspenion using cv axles in the back any ideas as to what hubs and axles i should use?

i would think they will hold up but a 4 stroke has a lot more bottom end than a 2 stroke so i really couldn't tell you

You will definitely have to change the springs in the oddy CVT. They're designed to start changing ratio's once the engine hits about 5,000 rpm and keep the engine revving really high for maximum performance from the 2-stroke engine's they came with.

where would i find the right springs

yeah forgot about springs
might try springs from a comet style torque converter

i have been trying to get a comet torque converter the website says they have one to handle a v twin like i got. but up here in canada i cant seem to find one, the only ones i have found are meant for a golf cart. i also read something about comet going under? if any one can help me find a torque converter i will be more than willing to pay for it and the shipping

try and find springs for one, they have many different ones, and put those springs on you clutch
