Hey Whip, I like the video, I wish I could be out there with you in the morning. Good luck and be careful I predict you will reach at least 65mph and fly over what may get in your way! Tell Bridget to watch out for those jumping boulders that some how manage to jump out in front of her. At least we know where we can get a new axle made for her. Let me know how it goes CHADMAN

Whipper, even though that video had no moving AATVs in it, I think it was the best one that I have ever seen. Like hydromike, it brought out so many emotions in me. Perfectly edited from the music to the lights turning on in your shop. I want to see more, I need to see more! I CAN NOT WAIT Only 8 hours from right now and you should be firing it up! tick tock tick tock, hurry up clock!

when you are ready to take orders for the max II kit let me know ive been dieing to put this 600 polaris tripple in something cool like that!

Whipper, I have got to have a set of these for my max. I think its time you went into the suspension business! I want a set! How much and how soon can I get them. Take this over to the folks at Recreative Industires and get a contract to start producing them as an option on there machines. This really is a must have here. The extra ground clearance provided here will make my MaxIV unstoppable, The Ability to hit stuff at speed will make a 6x6 unsurpassed. E-mail me with a price. (consider a patent)

[mightymaxIV]

This opens up a whole new adventure for the 6x6 world!!!!!

You wouldn't need take tracks

Whipper I would like to say that if this system works it will revolutionize the AATV industry. It has been my contention that this is what these machines need for mass appeal (Max and Argo you guys listening?). Think of the traction that you'd have as the machine suspension articulated over the terrain. I hope the all the R&D works well and your able to produce a kit for the max IV soon! (sign me up for the group buy!)

I wonder how this would work with a track kit. Would the suspension take the forces associated with track? Would the up down movement of the suspension cause a larger distance between the front and rear wheels stretching the track. Or would the track limit the suspension? I really don't plan on running tracks but I know a lot of people would be interested on how these two mods would interact.

I'm sooo jealous of you guys with these machine shops at your disposal!

anxiously awaiting testing videos

Mike

With this system and big tires you wouldn't need the tracks. With that additional ground clearance and aggressive tires my max would be unstoppabe. By keeping all tires tires on the ground I could fly over rocks and logs without losing traction. I am guessing a 60% increase in off road ability. That is scary cuz I can already go anywhere! I can only see one draw back here and that is additional drag in water from the lower a arms.

[Rock Doctor]

That is VERY cool, looking forward to seeing the test footage.

[Mike]

OK, where is the report? Whipper, Bridget, anybody? I see that you have been on today but we don't have an update yet? The suspense is killing me!

Come on guys. At least let us know if it is in one piece?

Well I know whipper will be posting video later. This was taken at 6:00am this morning before the ride. All I can say is, just wait till you see the video! This new suspension system is like buying a big screen TV, you hate to spend the money, but when you do, your glad you did, and realize there is no going back to a conventional size TV ever again.

If you ever imagined one of these AATV's ridding on the moon, I think this is the closest you can get without leaving planet Earth. This thing soaked up deep ruts with no problem. I see many more of these kits in the future, at least on whippers fleet anyway.

Thanks for inviting me whipper.

Ahhh….the suspense (pun intended) is agonizing!

[micmac]

why do I get the feeling that the next video posted on this thread will make all other AATV videos seem like we're riding with training wheels on!!

can you say quantum leap and paradigm shift rolled into one!

Whipper where are you the suspense is killing me!!!!
