Well I had it out to the woods and the river Saturday. The tires Pull real hard through the mud But Don't seam to Swim well ?
Now it may be the current I was in and I found the max seams to List a lot to the Left ( Thinking the big engine weight ?)
So I will have to test them more in water . Also the machine pulls a little to the Left. Again I am thinking the extra weight of the engine ?  kik
So I may need to play with air pressure on the Left side tires.
But thy ride Nice and we will give them a Good test next week !  whistling
Just an update for you all  tp

anytime their is a break in the tire treads they will cavitate and not push the water. you just can't buy a tire with tread breaks if you want to go fast in the water.  kik

That is true ! I think also that the Bar's are to close . Thy seam to turn the water up ALOT but that also want to pull the machine Down in the water. BUT I don't want to use as a Boat so I am ok with it Other than if thy stop moving Forward in a Deep mud hole  stp
Next week will tell the story on them. Plus I have the R/III with me .
