I think mine is too low for sand to be honest.

    The 85% reduction gears give you the biggest reduction we offer. These are mainly suited to rock crawling vehicles or vehicles that are prone to run away down hill (fitted with an automatic transmission). As an example this reduction gives a manual vehicle about two full gears below where the factory gearing sat. The maximum speed in low range will be approximately the same as third gear with standard gearing. High range is not altered when fitting our low range gears
    Yeah 85% is huge Phill.

    Awesome for the dedication of climbing etc but hard to still be an all rounder.

    63 is perfect in my opinion. I've played a little bit on the soft sand with the 63% on the Murray 200m runs 1 foot soft as hell sand and it's awesome in 2nd and 3rd.

    Still, a good set up rig should do first high with ease on sand flats moderately steep dunes too but that's another conversation...lol
