Glad you are enjoying it RD. You gonna make KOH?
I wish were were down there.
FF...well...that sucks. I am sure you will get her going soon. They are a lot of fun. I too drive an ancient 2019 Turbo S I still like it.
WMC will have it sorted soon. Master Cylinder or the switch.

We saw one broke down today. How many of them could have broken over the holidays?

Just said on Facebook he blew it up
Not good to hear! Was Dave running Ken’s Push Turbo & clutch tune? Or does Dave still have the OG stock turbo on his car? Also if he did loose an engine, could the compression release on the cam might have broke and dropped in the timing chain?

Stock turbo.. I think I blew a head gasket but not sure.. shit happens. I still love the car but I’m not basking in glory anymore.. lol. Soon though! 🤪
I get everyone giving Robby a shot and not being a hater and the big accomplishment and all that. At this point I’d sell that thing and either wait for him to get them right or just go with a different platform. No one is this forgiving of boat companies. I don’t think we should start accepting Chinese bullshit as top notch desert stuff out here. Every single speed car I know of has some kind of issue and not a minor or cosmetic issue. If anyone other than Robby was behind this, people wouldn’t be this forgiving at all. Seems like people bought his name, and it’s not really working out. They do look awesome though, I have to give him that. And the suspension and chasis work great. Also shouldn’t more members have their cars by now? Did he push deliveries again? I was expecting more threads and more reviews by now, it’s 2024 already.

Did they fix your 4wd yet?

There’s may be having issues, but yours has been in the shop at least twice, and there’s have 100’s if not 1000’s more miles on them already………

Sounds like he’s got no wheel drive.
And it’ll be in the shop once again.
Bummer for Dave, but I’m sure RG will take care of him.

But it's still the best UTV that has ever existed in the history of UTVs. It doesn't matter what breaks or how much it's in the shop... it's better than anything out there...





Sarcasm in case you couldn't tell.

Anyone with a functioning brain...lol.

Could you imagine the vitriol that would be coming out if this was a new RZR or Can Am? I think it's great what RG has done... 100% support his efforts, but if was anyone else NO ONE would be defending all the failures.

After you wait 4 years. Get a car with no brakes. Bad turbo. Overheating. Then blow a motor, no 4 wheel drive? And you’re out another season? Fuck that.

If it was Polaris people would be protesting outside the dealerships to lemon law them.

Hey but the suspension geometry is good. 🙄

Agreed 1,000%. Having said that, anybody interested in buying #1813? I nor Speed have a fucking clue as to when the car will be delivered.

Hey but you won’t have to put any accessories into them like canam, Polaris, etc… but here’s $15,000 for accessories for my speed.

But anyways, back to what Dave intended this thread to be about, no bashing, sucks that it happened to Dave. Hope his next car comes soon and he either makes his money off that one or enjoys it problem free.

I wonder if sales are slowing down yet? I know there are people out there that will make these cars everything they were promised to be but I don’t think it will be Speed.

Nice thing about buying new is the factory warranty. Hopefully Speeds warranty program is better than the average motorhome/travel trailer manufacturer warranty program.

There has to be a shop or two that has the ability to make these cars the baddest SXS’s out there. Some of the race builds I’ve seen are unbelievable and it seems like the Speed car would be a great launching point. I don’t see a group concerned with manufacturing, sales, delivery, and warranty work have the bandwidth left to address the problems.

Yea but all of the other platforms are already proven. Look at speeds race version car, it’s like $150,000 and has only finished a couple races.

Maybe in someone else’s hands the results would vary.
