An exhaust for the Wild One is a top idea! I was just making a rear cage & exhaust for my Sand Rover, didn't think to make one for the WO
thanks

Mine's running the original gearbox and I have had 0 problems, mainly because scollins made it almost bullet-proof.

What do you have to do to make it bullet proof? I was looking for one maybe to run at the vonats next year, if I can find one that won't break the bank....

Nice WO, makes me wish I had held on to mine I had when I was young. I like the frog tranny swap, great idea.

I believe steve shimmed the diff so there would be no slipping, i am still running the hex shafts and the gearbox sounds quieter than the the non modded gearbox probably is 8)
