A hard hit on the nose has taken out some Can Am radiators. The plastic top mount is not the greatest of ideas. Bumper helps eliminate the issue by and large.
I think in the top 10 compared to the turbo cars. The winning turbo car was over an hour ahead of the Pro R. I do not think a Pro R has one over all UTV in Baja yet or even top 3. They have done it in the states.
I respectfully disagree with this statement. Robby will sell the company to the highest bidder and walk away with a big fat pay check. It will be sooner rather than later when he sells. But it is within in his right to sell whenever he wants to. The company is named "speed" for a reason, and his name is not on any of the product, only "speed" or "S" is branded on everything. And the manf. done in china and mexico both by hinson only makes this eventual sale even more painfully obvious. All the patents will be sold as well, all for big, big money. Heck, he will more than likely get a piece of the royalty pie. He might even get a piece of "by unit" also. And wouldn't surprise me if they kept him on payroll as a technical advisor also.
M&A is huge right now. Robby and Todd could do and be set for life. Hope I get my car before then.
I think the Pro R starts behind the turbo class. The Turbo class is still the top UTV class. The Open class (formerly unlimited) was the back of the pack starting class.
Interesting they start the open class before the turbo class. I guess they plan on building the class up to be the trophy truck of UTV classes. The unlimited class was the ugly duckling for so long.
Huh? No just get a New Speed UTV they'll be out any moment and the Best ever! :classic_biggrin:
We shall see, money talks. He still can go race all he wants if he sells, just will have more money to do it with. And in regards to financial capitol, this would give him that and more. Don't worry, folks can still admire him even if he sells.
Who said 10 years late? LolBut everyone said these cars were promised in 2019 and that they’re 10 years late. Math reading and comprehension isn’t for everyone I guess.
I have yet to see someone in person smash up a radiator to the point it leaks. Closest was a buddy rolled his in Ocotillo onto a rock. Radiator was C shaped, but held pressure the entire weekend and another trip to Glamis (Covid supply shortage).
What did Donald make? Other than a fraudulent university and money off the backs off other people? Any innovative products? Taco bowls? Taco salads? Gold plated plunger?
I couldn’t agree with you more, isn’t this the American dream these days to get bought out and keep collecting. Also this allows RG to save face with possible cash flow and shipping issues. ( if any) I believe it is important to RG the car gets into the hands of his customers that have put the money down and have believed in him. Last thing RG wants, is his reputation tarnished in the off-roading community. I do believe he needs to get the doors resolved completely. They were very disappointing at the show. Also, now it was become painfully obvious the rear trailing arm mounts need attention too. Either they need to be gusseted and or redesigned for massive side loading/ fatigue over time. I know the engineers have been great on this project, but they are also very young. I think he said at show the oldest was 26/27 years old. Wisdom and past experiences come with age and time spent in the industry… I felt bad for the young engineer that was involved with the doors as he tried to take credit for them at the Sand Show explaining them to us. My friend mentioned to me, he wouldn’t be admitting that if I were him.
