i have heard the sezuki vinson is pretty good with a lot of power and all that stuff, but i want one that will get me through tons of mud and goes fairly quick. Anyone have any suggestions about what i should get to play in the mud.

Sounds like you should really look in to the 500i.

From what I've seen at mudding competitions, independant suspensions work best. I guess its because you don't have the differential and the axle causing drag. Also, consider lighter machines... in the competition I had seen, Honda Ranchers and similar class machines seemed to handle the mud the best. There's no doubt other machines are good at mudding, I'm just telling you what I saw.

Ranchers suck in the mud, when it comes to deep mud and deep snow (top of tires) they can't handle it. They have no power to turn big tires and they sit really low to the ground. MY friend has one and its not that good. Maybe if he had better tires on it might help. But my 500i is awesome in snow !!! I was going though the white stuff with no problems at all, the ground clearance really helps out.
