Where can i find some info the correct axel sprocket size for offroading (don't want it to go too fast) to use with the 8 tooth 700 g/box?

Its pretty uncharted ground. The best i can tell you is go with the stock rear sprocket you had and then simply re-gear the pulleys. Best way to find out is to find what the gear ratio of your 700 is in high gear. After that, work on how fast you want to go, then we can figure out what sprockets to use.

The original setup went from g/box to jackshaft (jackshaft had the break on it) and then from jackshaft to axel with the ratio compounding each time (small to big - g'box the j/shaft then small to big - j/shaft to axel) so I think I would have to get a bigger sprocket. Good idea about the top gear ratio thing - i think it's 1:1 but can't be sure.

Newbs, check out my toro project thread so you can see how I did (and then re-did) my rear axle setup.

Hey Chris, Could newbs not weld up his differential on his stock axle and use it to save a little dough to start out with? He said it was like a solid axle with a diff and sprocket in the middle. Should have gears in that diff.

When I welded mine solid (VERY similar dif) I welded the gears inside and it worked great. Don't weld it completely solid, just across a few teeth (on opposite sides) to make give the tires a little play in them for the corners.

I want to keep that axle in case I want to do the 4WD thing because that axle would be perfect for the job. Project has stalled for a lack of funds at the moment though
