Anyone got the info for putting the Kick center sections into Zuki axles housings? Any and all info is welcome. I need lower gears before I swap in the Sumo 6:1 tcase gears this summer.

pros and cons depending on how much you can get the tracker gears for one only the front gears will work u can bolt the front chunck rihgt into the front ,draw back is very poor oilong on the housing to front bearing rear u can use the gears but need spacer tube and shim readly avialable . my 02 same amount of money gets you brand new gears for you sami housing got complete front and rear plus a mini kit to install for $430.00
tracker gears around hear were goin for $250. a chunk + $80. spacer and tube. I would stick with the sami chunks and just replace the gears just my o2 gears from N.C.O. and I have a write up on the installation here4play tech pages (http://4play4wheelers.com/tech_ring_and_pinion_replacement_on_a.htm) hope this helps

THanks RockRat. I may go that route and just swap the Sammy gears for Sammy gears.

Why bother? Still have weak axles...

i wouldnt go lower than the 4.57's.....the teeth get too small in there, and they WILL break! I busted 3 sets of 5.43's!!!

Besides the 6:1 has a pretty good gear reduction in high!

I am looking more and more at Toyota axles for my Zuki.
Thanks for the info guys.
