HYDROTRAXX IS A HUGE AND ROBUSTED PLATAFORM..BUT TOO COMPLICATE THAT NEW DESIGN WITH SEVERAL TRANSMISIONS....AND LOW MAXIMUM SPEED ACHIEVE....PRACTICAL SOLUTION:

* TO STRETCH LATERAL HEIGHT OF BOTTOM BODY...THAT WAY THEY CAN EASILY INSTALL 27" MAXIM TIRES ( 6 PLY RATING) FOR SEVERE TERRAIN OR 28" VAMPIRES....LARGER WHEEL EQUAL TO MORE SPEED AT SAME R.P.M WHEN COMPARED TO SMALLER WHEELS ( 25")...WITH BETTER BOTTOM GAP...( VERY USEFUL AT THAT EXTRA WIDE BODY!!!

* TO REPLACE ACTUAL 2 HYDRAULIC MOTOR FOR 2 BLACK BRUIN ( VALMET HYDRAULIC)hydraulics@valmet.com they manufactures the bb2 engine, with 900 nm at 310 rpm with 200 cc per r.p.m.....those engines instaled below driver bench seat with 10" n 60 sprocker attached and triple 4" sprockers at 1 1/2 axle diameter will complete the improvement...from this 3 stage 4" sprocker will go one n 60 chain to front 1 1/2 axle diameter where another 4" sprocker with transfer power to front axle/tire...same with rear tire...and of course a double variable angle hydraulic pump with pressure setting governor ( to avoid engine overload//stall)....final result a true 6 wheel drive with wide body and extra heavy duty desing at proportional afforable selling price....bottom line this unit will also bounce great!!!!

ISAAC:


You have posted several messages describing how to enhance the performance of amphibious atvs. Have you actually performed these modifications? How can you be sure these changes would work...or be affordable.

ATT D.MIKE: ABOUT YOUR TWO QUESTION ON MY OPINION ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE HYDROTRAXX.. I CAN MENTION THAT THIS PROPOSED COMPONENT WILL PERFORMANCES FAR AWAY BETTER THAN ACTUAL SINCE THEY ARE HEAVY DUTY ONES AND WELL BALANCED ON ACTUAL POWER SOURCE ( 25 H.P. )..MY EXPERIENCE WITH HYDRAULICS AT MINING AND MARINE BUSSINESS WITH MY OWN HYDRAULICS DESING ON VERY SPECIAL APLICATION MAKE ME FEEL CONFIDENCE THAT THIS PROPOSAL CAN WORK GREAT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST ( ON NO MAN'S LAND TOURS!!) SAME PHILOSOPHY...CANN'T FAIL UNDER DUTY...(OF COURSE WITH PROPER LUBRICATION AND HOSES AND SEALS REPLACEMENT ON SCHEDULE)... ABOUT PRICE OF COMPONENT WILL HIT AROUND $ 6,000 ON THE MECHANICS COMPONENT ( NOT INCLUDING THE BODY COMPONENT OR LABOR...)... I OPERATE A MAX II, BECAUSE IT'S A SIMPLE DESING, TRULY 6 WHEEL DRIVE, LIGHTER WEIGHT, AND GOOD LOOKING....AT LOWER SELLING PRICE....BUT HYDRAULICS CAN GIVE YOU SMOOT FULL OPERATION WITH ONE HAND...BUT IS EXPENSIER AND HEAVIER COMPONENT SO ONLY WILL HAVE GOOD GENERAL PERFORMANCES ON BIGGER PLATAFORM THAT'S MEANS MORE FLOTATION HULLS AND BETTER STABILITY IF PROPER DESIGNED....WITH LOT OF INTERNAL SPACE FOR CARGO AND EXTRA PEOPLE CAPACITY....OTHERWISE YOUR INVESTMENT WILL NOT BE RETURNED ON SATISFACTION!!!!.......HYDRAULICS ALSO BOUNCE!!!!!!

I'm looking at hydrotraxx. Do any of you have one? Do you like it? How do they compare with argos, max's, and alike?
