Someone just posted on Facebook that they ran the piss out of it all weekend in glamis, I think he said 350 mi or something like that. Not one problem. That's great to hear! Although he didn't have his speed key

What does ran the piss out of it for a Speed owner? They made it to the hill, vendors, and swing set? LOL!

I talked to a few owners in Glamis and one dude was on engine number 3.

Heard one of them caught on fire, but they got it put out before any damage.

Yes, he had an aftermarket oil cooler on the car, it had push locks, with no hose clamps. RG sourced him some clamps, and installed them himself.

There was also a belt, a leaking shock, and one of the Speed teams cars had a shock failure where some nut wasn't tightened or was missing.

Ugh.

I'm never gonna buy into the no hose clamp/push lock deal.

And I don't care how long anyone's had lasted!!! 😜

Morgan Motorsports should be telling people to use clamps.

My son did Pushlocks on his prerunner for his trans cooler. First outing, it blew a trans hose off, and lost all of his fluid. Luckily his cooler is in the rear chassis of his truck, so it just leaked all over the chassis, suspension and driveshaft.

Anything above 60psi or 140* really needs clamps. I assume the oil cooler saw both.
 
I was reading something from Full Potential Motorsports, and they stated that when you start putting power to the wheels, you have to work on the diffs. What's that upgrade costing?
They're claiming more power than the speed key with just 93 octane and their tune

I would like to see one of there cars on 93 run against an e-85 Speed key. The upgrade from Full Potential for the ECU and clutching is around $10K.

This the same guy a few days later. He is not having good luck with his speed. He is looking at over 12k in parts alone.

The torque limiters in the trans and front diff are tested at the factory power output. Once you throw more power at them, they will slip easier. I will be working on some improvements to these if they become more of a problem.

For what it worth, I like the fact that Robby put the limiters in the trans and diff, but I don't care for the design on them as it makes it difficult to tune them. At least the Polaris Pro-R torque limiter can be tuned with the preload nut as needed.
 
Stuff breaks, period.

I hope parts are available for him.

This dude may also suffer from a lack of talent, not just luck.

I am thinking he has some bad luck. The oil cooler line coming off was not his doing. Hitting the ledge was some unfortunate lack of situational awareness which happens sometimes.
