Sands sport super show this weekend.

[Mikes56]

Is conquest having a regatta? Like the company? Or a Facebook group?

I’m not sure, my buddy that has a TopCat told me about the Regatta, so we’re going. I don’t think it’s the actual Conquest boat builder in Havasu putting it on.

Marie does a great job organizing this event.

 

[Orange Juice]

Jake will be down there on Sunday picking up my first Speed car. I go every year, but got talked into going to pirates of Lanier this week in Georgia so I can't make it this year.

RD

Lanier people aren't picking up a private jet? What do they think, you're always on vacation?

But then again….no paddle tires for sand toys?

there are deals, being that is a generation older car you wont see many cages on display. However talk to the shops my bet is they have one or two built ready to sell ASAP.

I’d talk to Jeff at anything Offroad in havasu.

 

[Socalx09]

The need list
2 turbo s belts
2 RLB whip lights

The want list
particle separator
decent chase bar
clutch kit

Thinking of going Friday night or Saturday late afternoon if timing works out. Is the deals at the event worth it after tickets and parking? I see some deals online, but not sure what deals could be had in person.

Amazon for the Xprite chase bar. $99 for the 30” $110 for the 36”. Don’t spend any more than this. These are awesome.

Are Jeff and Callie back in the Havasu shop ?

Several years ago had Jeff do some work for me, most pleased. Went back a year or two later and somebody else who left a less than impressive impression was tending the shop and explained they'd left to open a new store elsewhere.
I haven't been back since.

C'mon don't be poor, do you forget where you are at?? Has to be a Rigid light and $600 for it to be any good...

 

[MeCasa16]

Rigid? Only Baja Designs will do for chase lights, rock lights, and dome lights.

Pfft...Baja Designs chase lights retail for around $450, the Rigid lights are like $700, go be poor somewhere else....LOL

 

[Boatymcboatface]

What’s the advantage of a chase light if you’re running lighted whips? Yes I run my whips during the day in dusty conditions.

They are better focused light, and offer lights for brakes and what not.

Plus in the desert mountains whips will break from low hanging trees.

This. Can’t see a whip 1/2 mile away through dust during the day.

[Bigbore500r]

Prices are up but so is build level. Not quite your typical 2000;s sandbugs anymore.

1500 HP TT 55k Albins gearboox 35 K Motec electronics 22k = 112 k and we have'nt even bent a tube

Where's the AC and lambo doors?

 

[Singleton]

Was planning on attending Saturday.
BUT the co-worker I sat next to all day Tuesday, tested positive for C19 this morning. So I will work around the house, increase my vitamin intake and stay away from folks until Monday. My butt is on a flight Monday to work a conference all next week.

If I feel off Sunday night, I will cancel my trip. I dislike getting sick and right now it is mind of body. If you think you are going to get sick, every little thing (headache, etc) will make you think you are getting sick.

They have always owned it. They had someone running it for awhile.. he’s gone and they are back.

We’re all the cars covered still?

Kiddos had fun, can’t wait to get some dirt toys for the family.

 

[crzy2bealive]

Didn’t seem as busy this year. Free money ran out??? Everyone back to work and no time for this hobby?

Didn’t see any deals going crazy over.

Prices for shit were better online during 4th of July or Labor Day.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Just got home from the show. Lots of things to see

I was walking passed a decent size UTV accessory brand and they were complaining about how good the deals were at other competitors.

Fridays are always light. Thats why i love going.

 

[Mototrig]

A lot of lifted side by sides..... almost thought I was in Alabama again with the mud boggers.

That’s the new shit. Where the market is headed,

Crowds were lighter this year on Friday than last. Didn’t see any amazing deals.

Bert’s wouldn’t even tell me a price on the cam am

Rugged is pricey now

 

[crzy2bealive]

So I bought my rzr 2 years ago from coyne at the sand sport super show.

It was literally msrp and tax. No haggle straight up this is what you get.

This year they wanted a under msrp, tax , and the brought back dealer fees (to make up for the pricing under MSRP)

Wouldn’t even give me a real price for a rzr 200 or a pro r

Like wtf

Mind you I also bought one from them 5 years ago and the process was a lot smoother.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Were all the cars covered still?

Yes, cars were covered and aisles were blocked. I believe RG was on top of one of the cars. Aisle was so packed had to walk to the back of the swag truck then push kids out of the way behind the RC track. I kid about pushing the kids. But we did have to go around the crowd.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Dealers were saying they were gonna mark up the new Can Am 6-7k.

It’s as if all these dealers don’t read RDP and aren’t holding their hats.

I got a couple Havoc goggle lenses and a Evo Charge tube that was like 10% off.

 

[Socalx09]

Nice ! Any great deals ?

Nothing too great. We had a list going in and everything was cheaper at the show then online. It was worth it for us, but we did buy a sand jack we didn’t really need so the savings went out the window. The best deal was the belts. Super ATV has the belts listed for $189 online and they were $75 each. I know they aren’t OEM belts, but Robert likes to burn a belt every trip to Glamis since he drives it like a quad. We tried the RZR OEM belts and it has the same result for him so $75 a belt is worth it to us. Probably should have grabbed another.

There are so many led light and whip companies now. All with pretty cool designs. It’s hard to know which ones won’t break. But, he only trusts Baja, RLB and Buggy whips.

No one wants the public crawling over their new car they have waited 4 years for and haven’t got to touch yet.

I forgot which booth had a speed car. We were able to look at one there without a crowd, but it was early on. We avoided the speed section once we saw how busy it got. For all the hate, everyone seemed to be there.
