Unhappy Gee how I would love to have reverse

But wholly cow $299.00 for reverse kit. Man, I wish I could afford that it would be priceless.

I preferred the ulta low gearing provided by the 13t engine/drive sprocket over the 16t sprocket on the reverse. When you couple the 39t axle sprocket with the A12 torque cam, you cam climb anything and don't need reverse.

Default Reverse

Can you get the 13/39 tooth combo by itself? Who has it?

If you run the internal reverse or no reverse, you can run a 13t drive sprocket. Otherwise the external reverse requires a larger diameter sprocket to clear so you must use a 16t.

Reverse doesn't rob your engine of power, but the high gearing of the external reverse does.

I have no reverse but I need lower gearing. I just put 25 inch tires on mine. Plus I need the gearing to climb hills. Who sells the 13 tooth gear?

If you have a Yerf-Dog Spiderbox, the 13t sprocket was standard. I don't remember if the Tomberlin Crossfire also had the same sprocket. Double check your sprocket tooth count before you look to buy one. Buggy Depot sells these sprockets, but I may have a spare one I would sell for half price of new.
