Argo differential vs t-20

Say no more.

Nothing like a little bombastic circumlocution, nod nod wink wink.

Thank you for pointing that out, Noel.

...There are positives and negatives to each.

This is a tire issue, nothing else. The Argo had nearly worn out tires vs. the long cleats of the two Max 2s. I have Argos, Max's, and specialty vehicles. There are positives and negatives to each.

Lol. Love John Cleese. How do I get paid for this?

I have also seen motors reving high and no wheel spin with the t-20 because the operators were not puhing the levers forward hard enough.There are drawbacks to both.

That isn't a transmission problem that is a driver problem.

Today Shawn is a wild man and a blast to ride with. There are very few (read: not so intelligent) places he wont follow if I do it first. You just have to get him to leave the wife and kid behind......silly people, like safety is a real consideration.

Simply put, The Argo trans just takes more time/skill to master.

He is also running the new 25" Argo tires now.

I still have a hard time watching this,has to be one of the worst Argo operators I have seen.I only hope he has aquired the feel of getting both to spin and not the rediculous brake jerks and power transfer from one side to the other.Trick is to transfer the power but not completely brake that side hard enough to stop the wheels as he is demonstrating. Hopefully he has had 3 years of practice....

Thanks for the lesson buggyman.... Love it!

As I said in the PM I sent: The best way to learn is at a group ride. We have a number of members that can take an Argo anywhere, and the pointers from them would be invaluable. Unfortunately I am not one of those people. All I know how to do is push the sticks forward and squeeze hard on the throttle.

1st of all the operator didnt need to jerk the brakes like that at all,a steady pressure will keep all 6 spinning.It is a very poor video to say the least,I can show videos of the t-20 slipping because of operator inexperience,the same as jerking the brakes on the Argo to get one side then the other to drive on the Argo trans.Both do have drawbacks,for 1- I dont want to keep a constant pressure on the steering levers to go in a straight line,2-shifting requires jacking the levers back and forth to get a good mesh.3-t-20 is only a single speed trans,and needs periodic adjustments and additives to be effective. See my point.... We have already been here,LETS NOT DO THIS AGAIN.

It appears to me that it is you who is "DOING THIS AGAIN"?
