Hi Chris, I think you already know this but the maximum hull speed is 1.34 x the square root of your water line length for displacement hulls. So if I guess your Lwl is 12', then 1.34 x 3.4 = 4.5...

Hi Chris, You should bottle that and sell it, then you would have plenty of time to finish Walley. Seriously though watch for signs of burn out. That sure is a hectic pace. Nice hearing from you.

Hi Chris, I've been following your progress over the years, your sure have endurance, lol. Ok here are a few ideas for the steering. First what if you install an extension spring inline on your...

I've been enjoying this thread for a while thought I would throw in a few ideas of stuff I tried a couple years ago. To compensate for track stretch I designed a "track...

Mr. Mallards, is back, that's funny.

Man I can't believe this thread has gone on for for long, lol. It caught my attention, and looked familiar so I went back to the first posts and there I was, (sign of old age). So, here is an...

Just noticed this thread, worked on a few concepts of a suspended walking beam, trailing arm design for a custom 6x6, but never had time to pursue. A friend of mine (Marco in Switzerland) built an...

Finally! Now your talking. I will watch your build with great interest.

Absolutely, producing thrust from "non-swimming tires" is an interest of mine. If you are interested in the mini baja approach, search that topic you will find more fabrication details/pics. For...

What you are thinking about works. Here are a few videos on the same theme. I built a set from Princess Auto trailer fenders for the shape, worked pretty good.

I always wondered what was going on in their heads, when they saw our boys just making short work of all those nasty mud holes, and staying clean and dry. Those Adair tracked vehicles really shone.

Tim, a friend of enjoyed pulling out so many guys with his Avenger on tracks that he got the nickname (Triple A ) AAA. We just hated being pulled out and would always say we were "never really...

I agree, I guess the "Don't mess with Texas" slogan doesn't apply in the park. Probably someone picking up all those aluminum beer cans could cash them is for a down payment on an Argo.

Nice...

sw: I've played around with different designs over the years (Maximus, Jet Wheel, etc) and I've come to the conclusion (with 1 or 2 exceptions) that nothing beats a good swimming tire. One of those...

All hydrostatic, no chains (I hate chains), Alum. body, with HRS frame. The tracks are a proprietary design of mine (lighter than Argo), steel wheels.

MudN: I think you better reconsider RPM, because a 25" tire @ 200 RPM is more like 15 mph, not about 30 mph.

I agree with Jerseys' calculations, and Mudbugs comments, I think you should start...

I didn't say it was easy. But if you really look at Mr. Gibbs design(s), they are quite elegant, and he can line his corporate office walls with the associated patents. But it really is more of a...

Yes, we all know about Mr. Gibbs design, the reason you don't see them around is they sell for over $50,000, but if they were $10,000 you'd see a lot more. Anything can be done if you throw enough...

Well Mudnmall, you may just win the longest post award! Like a friend of mine used to say: "I wouldn't want to pay you by the word".

However, you make some good points and seem like you've really...

Where To Ride: If you own an AATV your world is full of restrictions, forget about most State Parks, Public Roads etc. your world becomes Private Property and Off Road Parks. There is no lobby for...
