I'll be the first to admit that I'm a leadfoot driver most of the time. but today I had my 5y/o, 8y/o, and MOM in the Mav max with me in Ocotillio Wells. We were there for a day trip. Rode from HWY 78 at Pole Line Rd. to Gas Domes, from there took the sand washes to the Pumpkin Patch, then to Shell Reef and back to Pole Line Rd. to load up and head home. While driving down Pole Line Rd. (pretty silty) 35-40 mph I heard the belt start to go and within a couple seconds it was gone and I had no power to the wheels.
I was lucky enough to have some folks in and old Rhino pull up within 20 minutes and offered to tow me to my truck/trailer. For the life of me, I have no idea what I could have done wrong to have my belt shred with so few miles. I know some people have had their stock belt for well over 1500 miles and others have had theirs let go like mine. I'm bummed.
The funny thing is, I bought an extra belt on Friday afternoon before heading home to load the MAV on the trailer. What I didn't do was look into how to change a belt and what tools would be necessary to do a field change.
Does anyone have a link to the service manual that covers how to change a belt?? :question:
