You know if thy raced these closer to me I would build one in a Hart beat !
I have all the equipment and have built off road racers before. Mostly with ford 4 cylinder engines and VW transaxles in them.
But there just to far off and to few to warrant building one.

I Know the Baker Hill tranny set up was odd . Plus not that strong.
I have parted these out before but never put one together to ride for my self .

The ABS bodies broke a lot easier than the HDPE, but I don't think there are any Attex models that you really need to avoid, except maybe the first model: 297. It came with the B/H 5000 and those were prone to break the main shaft. After that, they used the 6000 and 7000 which were much better. The Baker/Hill was higher maintenance than the T20 and a pain to change belts on, but pretty durable. I use the 6000 in most of the race machines and so far they've been pretty sturdy.

six chain is like the max IV, front chain to center, center chain to rear and rear to skid.

I'm not certain but I think the T-20 fed the center axles on a 6-chain setup, not the rear. I believe the tranny was always between the driver and the engine. The engine above the rear axles and the tranny above the center axles regardless of which tranny the machine came with.

I believe you are correct George.YEA , WHATEVER C:-)

Not sure if I want to build one as I have one machine in parts now But ya never know ?
If I can work a deal on the one I am to look at I may just get it so if someone wants it later it will be available !

Ok I can see that . Funny thing is as long as I have been into these machines I never really got into the Attex ?
I always had the off brands like the Terra Tiger and the SPD Wedge ( my fav !)
But with good friends I am still learning  8)

You will like an attex if ya ever drive one. I’ve had 2 older max 2s and they were good machines I’ll say that. I just don’t care for the jackshafts and in an attex I can brace my feet for impact😂😂
