There isn't room to flip the ring gear to the other side of the pinion, that's why the Subarugears gears are cut backwards. The ring gear stays on the same side of the pinion but rotates in the revese direction |
Think about that for a second. The input shaft still turns the same direction, so the pinion will turn the same direction, so it cannot possibly turn the ring gear backwards if it is still on the same side. So Subarugears makes a ring and pinion to flip the ring gear to the other side of the pinion which allows the input shaft to turn the stock direction, but change the axle rotation.
It is some mental math, and most times my mental state is tired.
Check out the photos on their website:

You're right, its flipped. I confused the spiral bevel gears with a worm gear type arrangement |

There should be a sticky thread, How much can I flip this buggy I know nothing about for? |

Or perhaps you scared him. I know I wouldn't want to put 8k into a car that would only ever be worth 4k, even if I was keeping it.

Really? In that case, my task is complete. The OP appears to have been looking for an answer somewhere between 'reality' and 'this car will be my retirement windfall from a flip-deal on Barrett-Jackson'... I'd rather tell someone the truth then let them find out the hard way that something being old & 'rare' does not automatically qualify it for being worth a mint.
