My first Argo configuration advice and questions.

[scimanstev]

That's what I did. The previous videos I saw, had the best results with cap mounts. I have the video, I just need time to remove the expletives and post it. The expletives were not done with anger, but amazement at how well it performed. I hope to get to it by the weekend at most.

do not mount to body whatever you do.... best way is to mount it to your head or a on the end of a pole extending from the front of the Argo like roc doc done in many of his vids!

Here are some pictures. I now have over 60 miles on Juggernaut, and it is so fun, I can't stop. It will go back to Barrows ATV tomorrow, so it can be finished.







I have to establish a GoPro Account, upload and edit the video, then post it. Things have been a bit hectic this week, and now that they are settling down, I should be able to concentrate on the loose ends.

congrates steve !! for the maiden voyage on the machine.. i can imagine what a thrill it was !! we are all looking forward to the upcoming pictures and videos that will continue i'm sure for quite a while. johnboy va.

Are we going to have some pictures and videos soon can’t wait

[scimanstev]

I took video of from when it first arrived, all through the maiden voyage. As my sister is here, it has been difficult to prepare the video. There are a few expletives that were uttered during my tremendous excitement. It is going back to Barrows ATV on Wednesday to be finished. I know I will have a huge case of Argo withdrawal. It may take a couple of weeks to get it back again, but it will be in the trailer. Now, I put both Jeeps outside so Juggernaut can be in the garage.

I will post the video once things settle down, and I get a chance to do some editing.

Sounds like fun! Can't wait to see video

Just a heads up that you don’t need photobucket to post pics on here...just go to manage attachments and you can upload them from your computer or phone picture library.

[scimanstev]

Wow! I can't believe how much fun that was. It was a long way from finished, but I had more fun than I thought was possible. Photobucket was a bit stubborn, so I will post pictures when I can. We were spinning donuts in the lawn with no damage. The heavily rutted trail with huge boulders was no challenge, even in the rain. I put 12 miles on Juggernaut and I am just getting started. Wow!

The trailer hoist for the motor is a great idea, outboards always feel heavier than they are with their weird awkward weight balance.

I haven’t heard much back from my riding partner in east Vermont in the last month or so, but once you get the trailer sorted out and a VT ATV registration we’ve got a ton of treacherous class 4 roads we can ride on. I’ll have to get my NH ATV registration in turn.

[scimanstev]

Absolutely! Tomorrow is the day, but it might go back to Barrows to be finished. There has been a huge effort to get it here for my sister's visit. It will be rideable, but the top won't be finished, and I'm not sure what else. The tracks and trailer may be a week away. I am not sure about the painting of Juggernaut on the hood, but I it will get done. This will be the only 2018 Avenger STR, that is red. We are even planning on some sort of hoist in the trailer to add or remove the outboard motor. It is over 100 pounds, so it could be difficult to manage as I get older.

You are right about not getting much sleep. I am way to excited. After all, I had to wait 47 years for this.

Electric trim as well? That sounds epic, heck my actual boat doesn’t even have a working electric trim lol.
Man your not going to get any sleep. I think you’ve got us all excited as well :-p I want to come by and see this beast in action!

Finally, my new Avenger made it to Barrows ATV this morning. He is tearing it apart to make the modifications, and put the red top on. The plan is to deliver it here to my house Saturday afternoon. It won't be completely finished, but it will be rideable. I am very excited, and my sister is here from Williamsburg Virginia, so she will get to ride in it. I have never in my life been so excited about a toy. I don't think the tracks will be here yet, but that's OK. Barrows ATV has done a spectacular job of coordinating everything whether it is Argo or third party. The outboard motor is beautiful, and has electric start, and trim. My back yard is about to endure some serious abuse.

Steve

Woohoo! Finally, your moment is here! Have fun!
I got a call from Barrows yesterday...the woman who called was following up on a call I made to them before I bought my leftover ‘16 Scout. Very nice woman and very knowledgeable on Argos. I asked if they ever came across used tracks and she said she would check with him on what he may know.

[curtisbyrne]

you lucky devil. im even excited lol
