I haven't owned a a TT, but I've had a pretty serious race car and a bunch of rails and a handful of RZRs. I've done clutch jobs track-side on my C5Z (those that know how that job goes on C5/6/7s know there's a lot more to it than a typical front engine/trans setup), built some motors, and broken a TON of stuff. My most recent break I pulled some neat tricks out of the bag, like zip-tying two boxes wrenches together through the box end, then hanging those over the pad retention pin on a caliper we had to remove so that the brakes would be usable and not pop the pistons out of the caliper. A few folks were like "whoa, that's MacGyver..." I said, "nope, not at all... I just break too much." Anyway, I think I can skip to Question 2 right?
I agree, that's somewhat unexpected. Of course, the only place I seem to see those vids if from BoardmanvilleGlamis's IG. I have no idea what his (massive) hard-on for RG is about, but it's broadline obsessive. From the dynos I've seen, I do think clutching is part of the issue. Before the board loss awhile back I had written a pretty long thread on clutch care, maintenance and tuning (the latter of which I don't consider myself an *expert* in, by an means). When it comes to clutching an all-mechanical CVT it's really hard to get them to do everything great, and nearly impossible to have them work perfectly at two vastly different power levels (math is hard, and I'm dumb... but 300 is a 33.33% increase from 225). I think a big part of the issue is they're clutched for the Speed key and 300 HP. I also think the tire combo is all wrong for sand. Lastly, I think they're just a LOT heavier than any of us anticipated.
Many of the cars have turbo issues which is being addressed with the current batch of fixes. This is likely why we see them struggling to get up Olds. There is a video of a Speed UTV going up China Wall with a 4 seat Can Am X3 and it was slightly slower than the X3. Speed got the jump and through the whoops, but the X3 caught up and passed it toward the top.
Better be since it will get here late next year!!! But yeah not surprised with all the teething going on with a 1st release. Reminds me of the Wildcat days but owners started to figure things out and share on forums. I understand the hate from RG from desert racing. Then when he shot off his mouth trashing the competition that made it worse for him. Now its easy for haters to rip into it even more.
People were duped into paying for accessories when there was hope that production of the cars was going to start over 2 years ago. People that dumped $5-10K in accessories plus the deposit were stuck hanging on for the ride or sell their spot to break even or if they are lucky make a little money. When you see those for sale ads it is crazy to see the amount of money people bought in accessories.
Wow. So much hate. I get it, wanting to down the smack talker. Like you guys want Biden over Trump.
my car is at the dealer, yes dealer, getting the new turbo, updates, setting the ride height, and addressing little things.
I talked to a good friend who had 1 weekend on his new R and it’s headed to the shop.
im not trying to persuade you all, im simply stating facts.
come out, and let’s go for a ride? Or just keep sidelining with the keyboard.
Yeah I didn't know how much work/trouble shooting my SCU would take (3 years) to get it 'right' and I was under the misguided impression that a SXS from a major manufacturer would be turnkey and quickly found out it wasn't.Wow. So much hate. I get it, wanting to down the smack talker. Like you guys want Biden over Trump.

Yep my Pro R is in the shop. Ride command started glitching really bad over thanksgiving and then went black. Luckily it went black the day we were leaving so I didn’t lose any ride time. I also asked them to look into the suspension clunking sound I’ve got. It started off happening every now and then but then got worse over the trip. As I suspected they confirmed it’s the bolts for the shocks. Factory Polaris bolt shanks aren’t the right length making the shock ride on part of the threads. Of coarse the dealer can’t do anything for me but replace with the same bolts. So I ordered a complete suspension bolt kit from Kumbustion as this is a known issue. Price we pay to play is how I look at it!Wow. So much hate. I get it, wanting to down the smack talker. Like you guys want Biden over Trump.

They all have issues and the top 2 take years to fix them.. People LOVE to talk trash some in good banter some are just that way. But one good thing about Speed is they discover them, halt production and fix them once discovered. I just hope at this rate they dont go belly up due to the many pre-order folks are selling on a daily and some taking losses.
Did you buy through a dealer, or just using one that is local to you? I have one on order that is being produced soon. All of the noise has me contemplating selling the spot, or abandoning the deposit if I can't sell it. Having a dealer that could work on it would be helpful. Not thrilled that they ditched the inconel turbo and manifold for cast iron.Wow. So much hate. I get it, wanting to down the smack talker. Like you guys want Biden over Trump.
