Put the swamp fox in the mud today and got my step daughter to video it

just wish she held the camera a bit more steady, but she still got some decent video. Hope y'all enjoy!

Cool videos Renegade! I took a look exactly where Montegut is, and MAN, you are down there. Lots and lots (and lots) of swamp to play in. You have a great machine for it. Have you thought about changing your throttle over to a lever style vs. a twist style? With your horizontal style laterals, you could set it up like a thumb-throttle that most quads have.

It's great to see another big machine in action....

Your stepdaughter did a fine job with the camera. It's not easy to hold a camera steady while riding.
I loved how your little boy is so mesmerized by the mud.

Yeah hydomike I'm WAY down here, and I'm definitly planning on switching over to a 4wheeler style throttle, it will hopefully be done in the next month or two, I'm also switching to a red spring in the t20, it should be in today I hope. And Bridget she did do as good a job as anyone could riding around in a bouncy swamp fox, I was refering to when she was standing on the ground, but she still got some decent video for me, looking into getting an ikam in the near future, I'd love a gopro but that's a bit more than I want to spend right now.

Oh, you're going to like that. The red spring made quite a difference in my SSF. It holds my driven clutch in low gear until a little over 2000 rpm (guessing, here) where the engine is making a bit more power.

Came in today! Can't wait to try it out, gotta get a couple new tools first so I can do the spring swap. The spring that's in it now is worn out, it takes forever to crawl up to speed, like it has no low end power, red spring should change that I hope. Do you know what your top speed is with the red spring?

The video says it's a "Super" Swamp Fox. Is it a regular Swamp Fox? It looks like one and it looks like it has the 21X11X8 tires. Can you please clarify if it is a "Swamp Fox" for me. My buddy told me he made a trade for an older "Super", but due to the tire size I was informed it was a regular Swamp Fox. Can you please help me? Thank You, Wes

Renegade's machine is definitely a Super Swamp Fox. The standard 'Fox can't fit the 26" wheels like he's running in these videos. It's running 12" rims...

Great video, I like to see a family out having fun and bonding. You have a really nice machine there. My Super Swamp Fox came with a worn out green spring in the clutch which killed alot of the low end but made it really quick on the top end, it had a 24 H.P. Onan initially and would do 25 MPH according to gps. I switched to the red spring which made the power come on low in the rpm band and made it a much better overall machine, top machine went down to 22 mph which was plenty fast. The loss in top end was more than compensated by the quick run up to speed which also gave me the torque to spin the machine around very quickly. The red spring was the best overall addition to that machine. I think by the sound you are running a 16 hp Tecumseh? These are fine engines and more than capable. You might also consider lowering your gearing on the t20 output sprockets to a 13 tooth set-up. With that you will have all kinds of grunt but will lose some more top speed.
