I know you went hydro jsut wondering if i will be able to manage till i get the hyrdo
If you don't use a lot of throttle, you'll be just fine. I like to throttle mine a LOT. And with 3.55 you wont be putting as much torque to break. You'll be fine! And steering plain and simply sucks *** withoout hydro. Lemme rephrase... there isn't any steering.

well power wise yeah the 3.55 suck but the idea is to teach the GF how to build it and wheel it. so hydro will be bought and the rig may stay 3 wheel drive until then.
sorry for all the quesions but also on your long arms do you remember the lengths you cut?
