Speed UTV take 3

[sandshark1]

It's Rage at the River, it's a SNORE race in Laughlin, Speed sponsored the race this year, so it's "Speed's Rage at the River"
It's one of the largest races in the states, it get's a ton of entries, and is a fun short course type or race. Typically like 10 miles, and several laps per heat.
It's run out behind the Tropicana, where all the Laughlin races are held.

That should be a good race for the Bandits to debut.

What are 50 signature race Bandits? Won't that make yours worth less?

 

[DILLIGAF]

Where is the referee? lol

RG mentioned that they had to mfg 150 units, even though there hasn't been much interest in the Bandits because they weren't promoting them for sale therefor few were ordered. There's a magic # in manufacturing to turn a profit, with all the time it takes setting up to make a run. RG said he made 50 units out of the 150 all the same, race ready by adding a door bar and for sale at two locations Anaheim & LHC.

These units are available for the 1000 & NORRA for a "arrive n drive program" $$$$

I thought somewhere long ago that the El Diablo was set to be the race vehicle ?

Being #1317 in line for a El Diablo as well as others we all got bumped or pushed back in production for the Bandits.
So, I missed the NORRA 500 this fall and will defiantly miss the NORRA 1000 with the way production schedule looks

Rage is a fun kick back race that 17 miles long and we do typical 3-4 laps On day one and same on day 2. Then the overall times are calculated for the 2 days to determine the winner. Sierra and I are already signed up for this race, can’t wait.

I’m exited to race at Rage! Never raced at Laughlin before, but have spectated for many years.

Why is it perfect?

 

[Bigbore500r]

And another thing RG issued a stop ride for 1 fuel leak
The fire that could result from a crash caused by a stopping distance that is longer than other SXS and the resulting legal action that he will lose as soon as they play the RG video saying man up push harder
Good thing it’s got a safer cage that everyone else his occupants will be fine but you poor Bastards driving cars with real brakes speed cars will be using you for emergency braking

I don't think that's how it would work

Lawyers always say it's impossible to indemnify yourself 100% from anything or anybody with money..... but this would be a longshot.

Manufacturers don't publish a guaranteed stopping distance for street vehicles, and definitely not for offroad vehicles.. It's an ever-moving target dependent on speed, tire condition, test surface, loaded weight, weather, temperature....you name it. 3rd party outfits may test them and publish results, (like car and driver) but nobody at the MFG is telling you to rely on stopping in XXX feet from a given speed. All they would formally publish in an operators manual is that the vehicle complies with national and federal safety standards.

What they do have to comply with are these guidelines - the requirements for the braking system of a street legal car or light truck.

It's a slew of weighted tests under different driving conditions, and mechanical operative conditions, with maximum stopping distance expressed as an equation of each test's parameters.

title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-571/subpart-B/section-571.135

Federal Register :: Request Access

Interesting enough - the one thing all the tests have in common, is that the max brake pedal pressure is 112.4 LB for "0.80" - which I believe means 80% braking effort.

OK - WHO WANTS TO ACTUALLY RUN THESE TESTS

I think the caveat here is that if car and driver did a test, said the Corvettes breaks were lacking, then Chevy went on record and said yes our brakes suck, just press the pedal harder...

 

[Bigbore500r]

Maybe. But has Chevrolet threatened to eliminate anyone either?

Robby will flat out Eliminate you, and the flimsy leg you walked in on.....

 

[Heylam]

Robby should be Trump's replacement for GOP presidential candidate.

 

[topdog521]

This was admitted by the company? If so, your caveat is correct.

 

[Bigbore500r]

This was admitted by the company? If so, your caveat is correct.

Hell - Robby may not be wrong! They may indeed need to press harder!

CLEARLY what he meant was:
"You may need to press harder, up to 112.4 pounds of force, to achieve maximum stopping power assuming your road / friction surface can support it"


S7.6.2. Test conditions and procedures (high speed stopping)

(a) IBT: ≤65 °C (149 °F), ≤100 °C (212 °F).
(b) Test speed: 80% of vehicle maximum speed if 125 km/h (77.7 mph) <vehicle maximum speed <200 km/h (124.3 mph), or 160 km/h (99.4 mph) if vehicle maximum speed ≤200 km/h (124.3 mph).
(c) Pedal force: ≤65N (14.6 lbs), ≤500N (112.4 lbs).
(d) Wheel lockup: No lockup of any wheel for longer than 0.1 seconds allowed at speeds greater than 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
(e) Number of runs: 6 stops.
(f) Test surface: PFC of 1.02.
S7.6.3. Performance requirements.
Stopping distance: S≤0.10V + 0.0067V2.

Better yet,RG Trump Vice President 2024 thru 2028,next up RG President 2028 thru 2036. Will take all 12 years to repair the mess these moron liberals have created.

Robby eliminated me when he made an offroad toy that cost $60k...Ill go be poor somewhere else.....LOL

Anything better than the chyna crap cramming our sources. Besides “made in Ukraine”next up.

Curious if any of the Speed cars are racing at Barstow and the new Can Ams and the Pro Rs?

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

Why is this guy allowed access to the Lounge to sell? I get it when RD post stuff, its his house. Carl1 ONLY post Speed stuff to sell. He adds nothing to this forum.

No, It's none of my business, no I am not a buyer, but If I put my stuff for sale in here, it will get moved instantly.

He doesn’t and he’s banned again

I gotta admit....I do like the 2 seater better.
I'm not eliminated yet so I got chance in 2026!

[stonehenge]

Didn't know the dealerships had units already, wow. I think this is good for all speed owners, parts, service, etc. The dealer network is officially here. Who knew. Also heard no crazy mark up, same as the speed prices, even crazier. You can walk in today and finance from a known dealership a brand new speed car for a decent price. Don't have to wait years for it either. Crazy world we live in isn't it.

2023 RIVERSIDE RESORT SPEED UTV

In case anyone needs more info on the Riverside Resort Speed utv rage at the river event.

 

[Santee_Native]

Yes coyne has speed cars they were the first dealer ship to order pre-orders like the rest of us. Any one could have pre-ordered 1 or 1,000 cars for a $1,500 deposit per order. Just saying…

 

[Bpracing1127]

Yep these are preorder cars. They paid speed in full.

 

[Albacore]

See more and more containerships show up just about every week.

 

[AiiRaciing]

?, looking to buy someone’s spot and the car hasn’t been built yet(to his knowledge) we do believe it’s getting close to being built though, problem is that he has about 5K worth of crap on the car that he’s already paid for that I have zero interest in. If I buy his place can he get back the $ he’s into it?

Not sure if he can get a refund on the accessories. Which model and what master number?

That’s what I figured, but I was hoping I was wrong

 

[zhandfull]

Seem to remember the answer is no. However, you or he may be able to change options if its not built yet for the 5k.

 

[dirtslinger2]

Your best bet is to call Speed, give them the master number, and they should be able to tell you everything you need to know.

I'll be cruising through the PORT of LB & LA today and look to see where it's docked.

Selling it with a windshield, did they figure out something or are they about to?
Are those framed window enclosures with a dead bolt?

A dead bolt? Are you talking about the window nets?

Why is it perfect?

Not a long race and not a lot of logistics need being a lap race. The ultimate stage is a Baja race and KOH.

 

[2Driver]

Yeah kind of looks like a slide bolt lock or something. Just thinking I’d rather have nets if I had to get out after a roll vs a jammed frame. IDK

I’m curious what a decent price is with no crazy markups. Might have to go for a ride out there tomorrow.

 

[rivrrts429]

I’ve rolled a car with that style and crushed the net/frame in the roll. Zero issue getting out or unlocking the net.

They’re usually this style or they’re a seat belt buckle. Both have little to no issues.

 

[dirtslinger2]

Yes, it's a sliding T-handle, you can use that, or the cable thats mounted in side to release it. FYI, the actual net is velcroed onto the frame.

So we had Chads car out last night and had a @Fabhouse snd Jason from tube works look at it..

They were looking at the break linkage and determined that just adjusting the clevis they were able to adjust the pedal a little further out and this improved breaking A LOT..

Chad was hitting the floor before it was getting max pressure.

They also had some suggestions on different pads etc

They were both very impressed with the car.
