i run with 2 of them. 800cc vtwin does prettyu good. they could lay the smack down on my 700cc king quad...then climb steaper. WAY steaper. the only advantage i really had on my king was water riding. i could do it without getting too wet. they can go as deep but they would be soaked.

i roll with guys on rhino axles and they dont have any problems. if i was stepping up to an overpriced axle, i literally live 10 minutes from turner cycles. i see too many broken gorilla and turners though. i'll go the cheap route that seems to work.

I was down at the owner of RPM's house and Rodney had something similar to that. We romped around his property and through some of the woods and steams around his place. It was pretty cool and was almost scary fast to ride in. Seems like a neat toy if you have a place to use it and the means to fund it!!!! Good for you man.

You ride in Crosby?! Lol I was down there a few weekends ago.

You'll see me next to the big holes with the cooler strapped to the back rack of my 86 Fourtrax 250 2wd watching all the dollars get sunk and broke it's a hobby of mine hahaha
