slimers reverse

kf thanx, im good with the hp that part requires, what is 41p 10t 12t tav30?

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

41p is the pitch of the chain, AKA #40/41,
10t 12t indicates that the part includes 2 sprockets, a 10 tooth and a 12 tooth,
tav30 is the Comet equivalent part of this converter.

Having a wider track in the rear, especially on a live axle, will hurt turning radius.

need to get it to turn sharper

Can you please provide pics of the steering geometry?

Cool green color! Those big rear tires will probably help put a little cushion in the ride.

What is the acceleration like with those big tyres?

the ride was pretty bouncy due to frozen crunchy snow but shot 2 15ft rooster tails, I weigh 220 and drove in small area. know more this week and working on photo of linkage. would taller front tires help my turning radius? thought of making some quik change ski s for front

ezgo thanx, I have a comet 20, do I need to find a trans compatable, like tav20 ?

Those 2 things are the same. The TAV just has a backplate. I am pretty sure the comet 20 you have is actually the 30 series. It might say 20 on the TC, but that does not indicate that it is a 20 series
