Reading the specs on this vehicle, its easy to see why we say it may very well be the most capable 4-seater buggy ever built ! More ground clearance than other comparable rigs with 46" tires !! Narrower chassis design means it will fit on your average car trailer and won't get mangled on the trail ! Traditionally the problem with 4-seaters was they where to long and wide to be very capable on tight technical trails !!
 Well we fixed that little problem !! We are able to narrow up the complete chassis { 6" more than our closest competitor} and acheive great ground clearance { more than most comp . 2- seaters} and a better depart/ approach angle !!! We still have all the advantages of a long wheel base and we managed to keep the advantages of a 2-seater !
 We have tested this rig on some of the toughest terrain in Colorado and we can say without hesitation that this rig does out perform many of the very best compitition rigs out today ! Head to head we have proved it !
This vehicle can be seen in upcoming issues of CRAWL MAGAZINE, OFFROAD ADVENTURES MAGAZINE, on the Speed Chanel , and Extreme 4x4 T.V !
We have just returned from our trip to North Carolina to investigate what all the talk was about Tellico !! We got to drive the Big Red Machine and our project Anytime ,{now completed} on what we now know to be some of the best wheelin in the country !! No joke Tellico kicks ass !!

We ran Helicopter Pad, School Bus and the Guardrail trails to name a few , and were very impressed by what they had to offer !! One nasty climb in particular stands out. That was a steep , rocky , ice covered , rock slab on the guard rail trail ! The day we hit this trail we started up at 6.30 AM in light snow conditions. The whole trail was a muddy mess , and looked to be a hand full all the way up. When we finally got to this { for those of you who have been there it's the huge off camber rock slab on the right hand side of the trail} huge very intimidating , ice covered , cliff !
Well to make a long great story short, I lined the Big Red Machine up on the bottom , cleaned the 520 hp 502 Ram jet out a couple of times , and in a huge cloud of tire smoke and flingin mud , hit the top of the cliff on 3 wheels and successfully climbed the unclimbable obstical on the Guardrail trail !! For you doubters we will have pictures up soon !! Video to follow !! WOW what a climb !!! We just wanted to say thanks to the Adam family for the great hospitality and for guiding us through some of the most scenic and extreme wheelin we have ever seen ! We can't wait to hit it again !

Just when you thought it couldn't get any cooler ...

44" swampers and mac daddy wheels !!
