Hey guys. I just bash with my buggy, and I think i would have a lot more fun if i changed a few things on it to make it like an MT.

The center diff is ok for racing, but i think for bashing it would be more fun to have both axles pulling the same. I think locking the center diff and putting some M/T sized tires and wheels on it would make it a lot more fun to drive for me. Gearing seems low enough for MT size tires. Has anyone locked the center diff, or ran really thick fluid with good results? Do they make really thick fluid that would keep it almost locked in the center without having to use JB weld or something irreversible?

Would ofna Monster Pirate wheels and tires work on a buggy with the stock A-arms? They have a lot of offset to them. I thought about selling my buggy and trying to find a pirate, but my buggy is in real nice shape, so i wouldnt mind to just keep it.

I like my buggy, but i may end up selling it for another MT. Honestly, What I would like to have is something just like my buggy with a solid center differential, and bigger MT sized tires.

I just bought some new tires and rims for my buggy, so i'll see what i think of it with those on it before i start changing things, but maybe this summer, ill do a conversion to an MT if im not completely happy with it.

I know most of you will think im crazy, but i like modifying things, and it wouldnt be anything that couldnt be undone. I think it would be a heck of a fun basher set up like this for someone who likes MT's. Should handle good, and be plenty fast with plenty of torque, and be really durable.

Thanks for any help, or ideas.

Eric
