Go as large as y can - spindles, bracing, axles - using wheels that big and large engines, youll break anything less then  1"  or up.


Use a trans from a large garden tractor - with the bigger axles .

As far as what type of metal. 1141 HRS. Hot Roll Steel.

Adding larger tires already increased speed.
