I will definitly be getting a set prior to next July, to put in the m109 for the trip to AK. That'll be a good test for it, pretty much 12k miles round trip...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I just read the entire post and did not see this question before.Possibly this has been asked before...
But I'm curious, does anyone know for sure if various other components like the wheel bearings and differential gears can handle the higher road speeds?
You don't happen to make or know of someone who makes ring and pinion gears? I thought of better highway ratios for my future deuce. It should make a difference like a transmission ratio swap, right? Thanks!i plan to keep parts in stock, but it will depend on demand as to how often i have gears made so there may be short periods of time when they are not ready. as for exchange transmissions, the shipping cost of 250 lbs out and back might make that not work. most likely there will be people around the country who will be able to do this replacement for others for less than the shipping would run. there is boyce in Utah, m-series in NC, i am in Maryland and there will no doubt be many others.

It's true, changing the transmission ratio is way cheaper. I don't need to go so fast, just be able to run in the freeways here. I'm definately interested in your trany gear swap! Well, once I get my deuce!a 4.90 gear set would be useless. it is way too high. i think islasaero does not understand that this gear set gives you all the OD the deuce can handle, and for 1/3 the cost of ring and pinion change and way less work. go figure, here is a good cheap way to get there and someone wants to do it another way!

The only place id chance running a deuce up to 100mph would be the bonneville salt flats.trans OD + OEM gears + bigger tires = 100mph deuce
