its really nothing like the odyseeys, etc. to quote offroad.com from

"Do NOT underestimate this vehicle. we can honestly say this is actually closer to a Jeep or Landcruiser than the ATV out behind the barn. It's a rock crawler that fits in a pickup bed. It's a beast, for a lot less bucks."
so far im really pleased. i look forward to this weekend though. what it looks great on paper, the rocks will tell the tale.
ha.....i hadnt even considered it until you said it! lol
any idea what type of paint sticks to laminated plastic? spray paint will peel right off easily.

One of the folks at work painted some lawn furnature and claim this stuff works. YMMV.

how well would it hold up to rubbing against brush and scraping trees?
btw doug, i got this in email today:
"On page

when youclick on "

", the link to

gives the error: Domain name lookup failed(may be a transient error)."
Then why does it look like the front wheels are spinning on the red one?
I think Krylon has a new formula especially for adhering to plastic. No matter what you choose, it'll scrape off if you rub up against trees and rocks, though.
thanks bill!
Real internet users? :-)
arent toys great? ive been outside all morning measuring for a cab, wiring up a cb, figuring out how to waterproof a cd player...... :-)
perhaps the wheel is simply turning from the forward motion. trust me brother, thats a 2wd honda 400ex sport quad

. afine machine for racing and jumping (chain drive just like amotorcycle....it doesnt even have reverse because it uses the sameengine/tranny as the comparable dirt bike), but its rear drive only. themachine in the rear is a 2wd kawasaki prarie (probably the 360....but couldbe a bayou 220, hard to say exactly). although 2wd, its still a utilitymachine built for work instead of racing/jumping (heavy duty, shaft driven).
on second look, the machine in the rear appears to be a honda recon 2wd utility. can be tough to identify sometimes with the "cookie cutter" designs where several different makes of lower end machines look like they rolled off the same assembly line.
Oh, I believe you. You're probably more knowledgeable re: ATVs than anyone I know. I was just making the observation that the red one seemed to be spinning and kicking up water. It may well have been a fluke of the timing of the picture. :-)
Don't waste your time with a CD Player... I have a McIntosh... very high end unit that "never skips"... they didn't figure on anyone actually going off the pavement. It will just annoy you. If you want something cool for the trail, check out this:

But you have almost no ground clearance on the Argo. I looked into buying one a year or so ago and it cannot climb rocks at least not like an ATV can it seems like it's a fairly neat trail machine tho. How much have you really pushed it on bad rocky terrain?
ive seen that problem in the past. i was hoping to find one with enough over-sampling to prevent skipping. what is the over-sampling rating on your macintosh?
that sounds great if i can find a cheap one. afterall, a strong possibility exists that sooner or later it will be totally submerged and i dont want to trash an expensive unit. any recommendations?
