Maximus (Custom Max II Build)

[Roger S]

Hey! it floats well and swims

Ray, that thing is outrageous. Thinking outside the box, for sure. Way outside

[6X6]

You get WAY UP. Awesome build. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it! Was that the chains popping as you left the water? I see (hear) what you mean about new adjusters!

Good Ears

Thanks 6x6 for the kind remarks. Yep you heard right, that was the chains popping, I am re-checking into a couple adjusters that I was considering putting on Maximus but opted out. Here are the links: Renold Roll Ring - Chain Tensioner

Because of space constraints I'm leaning towards the snapidle.

You've made some wild modifications to that Max. The best part is everything works. I heard those adjusters, too. Looking forward to the fix & seeing you then pull a couple skiers across that pond.

Thanks Again

Whipper I met you and Bridget at Ledges but there was so much action around Attex-Ville that you probably don't remember me, but I have been an admirer of your work for a long time.

I know I'm a little far out there but I like doing things that no one else has done. Our sport needs innovation and competition, after 40 years of product evolution I feel we should be farther down the road. I'm just trying to do my part.

I really enjoy all the free thinkers on this Forum, this is a great community to be in!

Yea, we met too many people in one weekend. Some we didn't even know were 6x6 members & some we didn't get a chance for the introductions. Next year, if we get to do it again & you bring the monster truck of 6x6's , we'll be able to pick you out from the crowd.

Ha-Ha

Yep, that is one way of getting everyones attention. That was a great time at Ledges, I enjoyed every minute, well almost, except for the bent axle I do plan on being there next year.

Also I used to winter down in Yuma, may go back there instead of Florida, may look you guys up.

Bw6 ,

In the recent video that you posted on Utube of Maximus swimming in the pond , were the four tires giving all the water propulsion , or was it a combination of tires plus the two rear props ?

[Bw6]

All Props?

Mudbug3, For now I'm assuming that all the thrust is from the props because from previous experience I know that those Mud-Lites do not swim. But to prove out this assumption I will remove the props in a future test and see what it does.
