My Max IV Testing Mudd-Ox's New Vendetta Tires

I stopped out to the Mudd-Ox Mecca to drop off some vintage toys to Matt and got first dips on testing his new tires. At the testing grounds I pushed these babies through water, over logs, and into one of the nastiest mud holes I've ever been in with tires!

That Max is pretty quick! I dont own a 6x6 but I was expecting them to be a little slower. I am wanting to get one and have been researching them and came across your video. Pretty cool!

How fast is your Max IV? I'm doing a complete frame out restoration on my 97 MAX IV but it wasn'tvery fast at all before I started the rebuild. I was lucky if it would do 10-12mph. It's getting a new clutch and belt for the T20 as well as all new bearings and Im upgrading the rear axles with slinded axles and gears. Mine has a 20hp Kohler Command that ill be replacing the the coils on and giving it a new carburetor also. I keep reading and seeing that the Max IV should do around 25-27mph flat out but again mine wouldn't do more than 10mph. What else do I need to do to get my speed back up? I was also looking at going with solid engine mounts because the rubber mounts the engine stand sits on now flexes so much that I could see the engine dip down on the clutch side. Also my belt was so loose that if I squeezed the belt together in-between the two clutchs I could nearly get the belt to touch. Too loose I'm guessing? Any advice to get my max back up to speed would be helpful. Thanks

The tires in this video are 26x14-12 at 3psi.  They are fast swimmers.  I now have a set of 16 inch wide Vendettas on the machine.  They seem better in the mud but swim slightly slower.

If you could only have one set for all around (ie. Gravel, dirt, big rocks, and mud) 6 wheelin', would you choose these Vendettas or the Adair tracks?

What kind of motor does that Max have? Tires look a lot like the Argo Frontier tire. As good? Better?
