Chris,
Like you I bought my first 6x6. Last year. Here is what I have to offer as far as performance. The 6x6 will go about anywhere a quad will, but the difference is that the quad will go some places a 6x6 will not and also vice versa. My Max II is great for swamps, etc... and it will climb through brush nd over logs that would jar you to death on a quad. The only draw back is that, where I live, there are a lot of "bottomless" stretches that are maybe 10-15 feet across. My Max will bottom out and dose not have the speed to let the momentum force it through. The quad has less undercarriage and more speed so it will make it. (Please understand that the quad does not pull any better and that if the area is big enough it will sink too.) I am currently trying to find another 6x6 that I will make some major modifications to in an effort to fix this problem. Good luck.

George, what year is your Max and what tires and engine did you get? I can help you out with the modifying, as I am in the middle of doing that myself. We definately need more accelleration and wheel spin.

Anyone know where (besides RI) to get the wing nuts used on the Max bodies??

Does anyone have a suggestion of what to use for a windshield bumper - the rubber posts the windshield rests on when it's in the down position? Thanks a bunch.

Any hardware store should have the wing nuts. As far as the rubber posts, you might be able to find something at a hardware store or maybe a muffler shop?

I know I could get wing nuts at a hardware store - I was looking for the type found on the Max. They have a built in washer on the base. Are they proprietary or are they found on other things??

As for the windshield bumper, I fashioned something from two rubber stoppers fixed end-to-end. I drilled a small hole in them and it seems to be working.
