Default W & P mud

/Users/Barry/Desktop/Tank weekend 009.jpg


I remember 07 well. The carrier was one of few vehicles that could move in the mud. It was the only vehicle that could get over the knife edge, as most tanks just slipped backwards.
The only problem was ever time you stopped moving you had to clear the mud from around the wheels or it would dry and I would loose all braking as the steering wheel would not turn. No warp steering and no brake steering.
Tip: clean the mud off once you stop especially around the front boogies.

Have a great time,
Rick tie a rope behind the carrier and try mud skiing it's great fun.!!

That first pic of your carrier looks great kevin (not your usual carrier style pic) it was a hoot i must admit, i honestly thought we would have ended up with two bogged in carriers but you guys gave the modern lot a run for their money.....cant wait until next year, i just need to work out logistics and the small fortune that it will take to get my carrier there next year.
