Stock hp is pretty impressive and that E85 tunes really wakes up the car.

Yeah. Problem I see is offroad tires really hate dynos and there are lots of variables on inflation pressure, tread pattern, tire weight, etc, that would make tuning hard.It would be interesting to run that thing on a Mustang or Dynojet dyno vs the hub dyno.
An explanation I can understand. LOL!JEHC on RDC mapped the suspension out:

Interesting numbers. Front bumpsteer appears minimal, and rear appears biased to toe in for stability. Rear track width reduces by 10" at full extension, front 8" (again, of little impact since a fully extended suspension has no load to do anything with), and less than an inch at full bump (where it matters) for both F/R. The reverse camber curve on the front suspension is interesting, and I assumed it would be the major drawback to the lobster claw design. The long UCA will make for positive camber gain on compression, though it's VERY slight (0.044*) rather than the typical negative gain you usually see with a shorter UCA. This means that the front will progressively lose grip as it rolls onto the tread corner.
But, given the non-parallel control arms, this means this is the first UTV that doesn't have a wonky-ass (technical term) roll center:
Which means that the lack of camber gain isn't super consequential given the thing has barely any body roll (double duty for this picture). I am surprised that they were able to keep front bumpsteer to a minimum with ackerman steering given all of the new concepts above. That's a lot of time spent in CAD there.
There's so much to balance on a UTV as far as suspension design, there's no real "right" answer. This is why I hate it when someone critiques a particular suspension design as "wrong".
Mexico south maybe?Is it my imagination or have the prices come way down on these? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1535593680380631/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks Weren't they selling these for retail in the beginning? I do know a lot of business owners I have talked to are afraid a certain candidate will get elected. How far south will the economy go then? Hmmm. Pucker factor.
