Assuming that you could build a comp legal buggy with hydraulic drive . I think a better system would be to use electric motors. They could be sealed against mud and water and give you the speed and torque needed. Could be powered by a generator with a big V8 to give you the noise factor. :D
just an idea.

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.

How about using a hydrostatic drive setup off a tractor to replace tcase and gbox. Keep the revs up and adjust forward motion accordingly?
