      I guess since Agile isn't going to make new parts for old Max vehicles that just decreased the value of all Max vehicles out there, something to consider when buying a used Max in the future unless a large supply of parts becomes available through an outside vendor, similar to what the antique car hobby has for getting parts for all the old jalopies out there. I could see someone like Muddox doing that if there was enough profit in it and legally they were allowed, based on their settlement with mxi. I guess time will tell.....

        crap! I just bought an 01 max 4. I did think about the future parts scarcity but bought it any way figuring pretty much anything beside the t-20 and the body could be sourced thru industrial suppliers like chains and sprockets and axels can be machined if need be. still shoulda negotiated a lower price for it.
        Guess I suddenly own a Vintage possibly classic vehicle?

          Max parts are readily available from Richards Relics.
          What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.

            I wouldn't worry too much about parts. Attex and Hustler have been gone sense the early to mid 80's and we all still manage to keep quite a few of them running around

                Looks like AGV's website was just updated...

                That new T-25 transmission sounds pretty cool.

                      Wow you're right - I didn't even notice that! Are there any drawbacks to popsicle sticks compared to the U-channel?

                        Would love to know if they went back to the longer input shaft supported by the right hand output shaft. If so they are pretty much back where it started.
                        No real downsides to the popsicle sticks, a lot of people actually prefer them.

                          The only downside with the popsicle stick style that I know of is that you can lose a plunger into the case when you're adjusting the bands, and that usually means a tear-down to replace the O-ring. I'm assuming that's the reason they went to the U-channel style in the first place.

                              This thread is now 20 months old, and still we have yet to hear from Agile/AVT, or whatever they call themselves. about information on dealers, pricing, and continued support of the MAX line. I do not know about others, but I am becoming a bit sceptical about the whole operation. They originally were going to be British, but new "about" page shows assembly is in Indonesia. I smell an overpriced cheaply made machine.

                                Sorry for reopening this thread, but I felt compelled to do this, after trying once again to contact this 'new' company. Besides 'paying for a website' I have seen very little progress. They show product, but there is no indication anywhere where one might contact someone to see or view one much less buy one.
                                What do you think?
