Attex 1000 series Bigfoot

... but the $$$$ would add up quick.....32 tires and 4 tracks.... OUCH!

How does it have 32 tires? All the pictures posted show machines that only have 16.

You have to think like a Buggyman to do the math. He's been mentally stretching and modding things in his mind lately, so 16 became 32 real quick.

He's probably already secured the purchase of the machine, and has plans on making a Bigfoot BIGFOOT out of it.

Next time I go down to see Matt, I'll take a camera and post up the pictures. I don't think it would be hard to make one, but the $$$$ would add up quick.....32 tires and 4 tracks.... OUCH!

It looks like a pontoon boat that evolved and grew legs. Party boat that doesnt stop at the shore......

I think this should be the motto for all amphibs.

Does he still happen to have it? You could use the old rotted machine as a template to build a new one! There are some talented metal workers here on 6X6World.

Unfortunately, after my Uncle passed, they had to clear everything out for insurance reasons (pretty much how we got a few the the Tru Way racers). Not sure if someone else local got it or it went for scrap. I'll check and see if my Cousin or Aunt might know what happened for sure.

Who's got an extra pontoon boat I'm sure swift has an extra t20 and wagz will fabricate. attex 1000 here we come.

Maybe when we get the Hustler Corp. back up and running we can make a prototype machine similar to this.......

Count me in!!!

I really have no idea how it's attached.......I wish I saw one in person, but the few that were made came out before I was even born.

Is it just styrofoam glued to the bottom or is there something to cover it? If it's unprotected I'd imagine the first time those tracks grab onto a stick and drag it across, it would tear chunks out.

According to the factory Attex sales brochure they did have Styrofoam in them as a matter of fact.

I'm 99% sure my uncle had one of these that basically rotted away. I remember jumping around on it as a kid.

It shouldnt need styrafoam to float! i figured out the bouent force per tire here:

http://www.6x6world.com/forums/tire-track-wheel-talk/20247-dual-wheels-2.html

You get about 130 lbs of flotation from each 22X11X8 tire. 130X32 tires means it will float 4160 LBS in the water!!!
