Re: Gears front /back

The only time the front and rear should be mismatched, is for some extreme mud-racing situations. I think they usually overdrive the front axle a little, to keep the vehicle tracking straight under full-power runs in deep mud.

For anything else, you definitely want them to match. If you're trying to spread out the cost, you can leave the old gears in the front for now, but you should remove the front driveshaft to avoid any risk of engaging the front axle.
