RTV 500's in the mud?

[radman1]

The RTV 500 has 6.9" clearance at the rear axle. Not great. My Teryx has 11.3". Also the RTV has a relatively straight front and rear axle. Again, not a great choice for deeper mud. My feeling is a side by side should be able to outperform a standard 4x4 pickup in mud. I am not sure the RTV 500 can do that without mods.

I am sure it can....I have done it Straighter axles are stronger, the clearance could have been higher but then again low center of gravity reduces the risk of rolling. It's not an all out mud racing machine but it's very capable in most terrain.
