Welp... Seeing this pretty much makes me want to give up on racing my Mav. Certainly a top notch build.
Avid Racing Maverick Max Build

Sorry to hear it guys. Even though I rape on you, I never find happiness in someone elses hardships. Did you at least get some real time miles in before expiring? Better now, than the start of next season.
Of all the things in our race program, the stock Rotax is the last thing I ever worry about.
I like the out of the box thinking and I hope they do well.
I still wonder if they have fueled the car in race conditions, and how did it go? I'm also curious what this car weighs on the scales? With the added extras like built in jacks, lots of aluminum, compartment doors & lights galore, I'm thinking this cars is on the heavier side. I like the duel spare tires setup for Baja, but I'm not a fan of how the spares are mounted using lug nuts. That will slow a tire change down dramatically.
Do we know what Team Avid's race schedule will be in 2015?

Reid I don't know Can Am suspension points, but I'm assuming your saying they moved thier inner rear link pivot points?
By a mile. They should be located in front of the axles after stretching the rear. The stock pivot location is in line with the rear most a arm pivots. In fact, they share the same bracket. I worked hard to make ours work in the stock location. Unless SCORE and BITD approved this layout prior to fabtime, there may be rough waters ahead for Avid's new car.
Consider this a favor guys. I could have waited til the first race and protested, but I want you to lose fair and square
.! I know, I'm an evil bastard. This is why an "assmav" is so bad............Attachments
Wow! Not even close. Not only is it on the wrong side of the axle, but both sides look mounted much closer together. I believe this car already raced one BITD race. I would suspect BITD Tech has inspected this car and would have seen such a blatant change in the rear suspension pivot point. Plus since the Tech Director races this same manufacture, he should know this model very well.
And perhaps it has been approved. I just want to make sure they are in the field, and legal.
They made it to the race but something in the electronics went haywire and crippled the car from being ran. I believe thats what Michael had told me
