  RTV Problems and Solutions

Some of us like higher speeds in reverse. When I was a young ladd about 38 years ago and got my draft notice and didn't care about much anymore I cruised the countryside with my best friend. I had just consumed the first half of a case of longnecks working on the second half and had met another friend on the road. A car came by so he drove a quartermile down the road into a driveway. I wanted to talk some more so I decided to back down the road toward him. I use mirrors when backing and look forward. Makes sense doesn't it? Got my tachometer up to 5,000 RPM in reverse on my Chevy SS 327. I overshot the driveway about the same time my friend backed out of the drive. Pushed the trunk of my '65 chevy back about 5 feet. Took out the right side of his car and threw him in an 8 foot deep ditch. Worst of all it spilled the beer between my legs!

Have seen many comments that the RTV is underpowered. Is a turbo kit available? Sounds like you need that and duallies for floatation. Have you considered a Gator with 4 x 6? If you are real creative, you could attach another set of tires at the rear hooked rigid to the hitch and give yourself a cattrack style belt drive. Bet Murf could fix you up!!

Sounds like a setup with Mat Tracks and a little booster compressor under the hood would fix you right up.

Ryobi sells a battery operated wet/dry vacuum the same system as for screw guns, etc. If you switched the hoses around and blew air rather than sucked air you could mount the hose to the air intact cannister. Instead of using the 9V-14V battery, you could hook it up directly to your RTV's battery. If you flip the vac switch on, you should get an HP boost like Murf has said from increased air flow.

This may sound like a Red Green or McGiver trick but you should be ok, if you don't use duct taper or a Swiss Army knife.
