speaking from an engineering standpoint, they should be good for up to about 36" and 70mph. but keep good oil in it, maybe some Lucas.

well, I don't know what your gears are. but a 65hp motor will be somewhat slow with 33's, regardless of whether or not the gearing is correct. mine is rolling on 39.5" iroks and I put 5.89's gears in it, and they make up perfectly for that size tire, cuz my GPS says my speedo is within 1 or 2 mph of accurate. and I can't use 5th, but I can go 60 at least down the road. and believe me, with full width chevy 1/2 tons and huge iroks rolling on rutted roads, that's as fast as I dare. but I have to say that they roll and track pretty damn straight considering all things, even the lightweight.

Also remember Toy axles didn't come with all the same ratio. It is a good stepin the right direction you get better gears, stronger axles and birf's, stronger housings, better choice of parts and upgrades. If you have lower t case gears they will go a long way.
