I have a 6 wheeler and while going straight it wants to drift left. How do I adjust this to make it run straight. Thanks in advance. |

Michael
Have you already made sure all the tires are same distance around? Use a cloth tap measuring tape.
Adjust air pressure untill distance around is same. Do you have same tires on all 6 rims?
I am assuming you have old style mechanical
brake model, if so, adjust both same, untill there
is no drag on either side, very important to keep
the pads at exactly 90 degrees to the rotor
Hope this helps

Michael,Out of all the 6x6 I have owned ,I cant remember any that ran completely true.There are many factors that control this,mainly weight distribution from side to side,and tire circumference.Terrain also plays a big part,there is no castor or camber in a 6x6 and any change in terrain will make it pull to the downhill side.Even a crown in a paved road. |

Thanks to all I will check the tires. I figured there could be some other causes also. |

Do you still have your LIL Critter?
I thought it looked like a neat machine.
We have kind of been thinking about buying
another machine, maybe a AV-4 or one of Richards's
MAX II's Dave |

Dave,I sold the AV-4,I actually bought it for my daughter,and since she is looking more for a car we will use the money towards that.For the money the AV-4 is a good little machine.The drawbacks are 2 person (cramped),and the susceptable bottom(drain plug area).All in all I would buy another,as long as it had the 23 hp motor.
