What Argos are good swimmers? Doesn't seem like the rawhides do very well
I got a chance to use my friends with 22" rawhide and I couldn't believe how bad it was in the water. Not very controllable at all and barely moved. I have driven a max iv in the water and have to say its control and thrust were fantastic. Are these tires just not good on water.
On land this same machine is absolutely amazing and just as good in the marsh type areas but free floating not so good.
This is my 3rd argo and never found they swim good. I've had rawhide and last few change them for bearclaw on my avenger ( more agressive) but it's worst with agressive unless you put them backward but you lose traction on the ground. I also had a max 1V. There is no comparasion. The max goes a lot better in swimming. But for my needs wasn't built strong anough and I also needed more room ( 8 wheeler, response and avenger)
Brebett thats my observation exacty. Not sure exactly why but the Max IV is VERY precise in the water and the Srgo at times amost felt helpless. You really need to experience them both as you have to see what I mean. I eventually got better with it but as you said I would say there was no comaprison but I also agree that I think the Argo is a better machine for other purposes. Always tradeoffs I guess.
