Is this a sub trans IGR that reduces low and reverse only? Do you know of a way to communicate with RBE other than Facebook?
No, this is at the primary drive (clutch) and reduces everything. The OP asked about regaining top speed with bigger tires so he would need to reduce high to do that.

As far as the sub-trans reduction, I have been watching another forum and the guy has been waiting months for parts from the Morris brothers. They are having some sort of "supply issues". The guy grenaded his sub-trans and had to cobble it together to get back on the trail. He only has high gear and still waiting for his parts from Zach. As you stated in another thread, you refuse to do business with the Morris brothers and now I see why :)

I see, thanks Paul. I’m still awaiting the arrival of a sub trans IGR., and yeah from somewhere other than them...

Just keeping hope alive...😊👍

Same here. Imagine a wreck at 70 in a SXS......

You're 100% right, but that's the case with a lot of motorsport stuff... Just a risk you have to be willing to live with, or sell the thing. I used to spend a LOT of time on track (road course time attack) and people were so paranoid about it, and while I get it, 160mph down the front straight into a 35mph corner is sketchy even with brand new high temp fluid, full depth pads and such, where if you're brakes failed you're into a concrete wall at 150+ mph, (read: insta death) but it's part of the risk. I will not live in a bubble my whole life and if it costs me it is what it is.

Even something like some of the insanely steep skiing we used to do, there were zones that if you fell, you were dead. Talk about living on the edge, the feeling of doing 80mph in a side by side is childs play compared to the knowledge that you slip one ski once and it's a long ride over some nasty rocks and off a 1500ft cliff onto more rocks...

Nah, it’s an off road vehicle, not built for asphalt at those speeds and lacks all the safety equipment that vehicles built for asphalt at those speeds have. We all bought them for the trail and that’s where they shine....😎

We can't ride on asphalt at all, but regularly see speed limiter on the fast roads that intersect trails.

Reduction Boss tells me that IGR for sub trans isn’t possible, so I’m going for overall reduction of 25%
