No, not really. Front diffs have an issue with the ring gear bolts backing off, which eventually causes the ring gear to break the bolts and spin on the diff carrier. Some guys weld them, but then it's a pain or impossible to grind the welds off to remove the bolts for service. I got crafty and figured out how to use safety wire bolts with a bit of machine work.
If you dont drive it like a TT you will be fine IMO, the Wells had over 4000 miles on their pro r prerunner and no issues that I know of. I have 1200 on mine no issues so far, my brother (doesnt drive it nice) has about 500 miles on his so far and no issues......as soon as you put a race number that might be different like RGs cars haha. Go drive it and have fun.
100% my thought too. Gears typically don’t break like that unless another problem. They do wear out and then can break.
Absolutely correct!
We broke a rear axle on sierras pro R on sundays desert race. This was the first one we have broke, we also remove the stock cv grease and replace with belray/neo mix and vent the boots. We also take the front diffs out of the box new and check torque and tack weld the bolts so they don’t continue to come loose as they have previously. As far as the PTL we replace every single race to avoid any issues driving the front diff.
What is the PTL?
Tons of different meanings ….
About as stock as a stock car
In the pro R tranny it has basically a slipper clutch that applies pressure to the front diff. Think of it kinda like the rc trucks we used to mess with when we would tighten the nut to put more bite to the drive. Here’s a pic of a PTL and the gear / housing it sits in
Randy, you need to come talk to me at the Mint. I know you guys get a racer deal from Polaris, but there is no reason to keep replacing those parts if they are properly prepped and maintained up front. A conversation doesn't cost anything, unless you want to bring me a beer!
If we only got a discount on parts it would make sence to make them last longer or reuse them. since We get full factory support and parts it makes more sence to replace them on the regular basis as we do. Let’s talk for sure if Theres ways to make stronger then I’m always down
thanks Sean
You the same guy harassed ky0tyk and his family when he put up one of the best build threads @ RDP. You were negative the whole way thru their bus converted to RV project. Turned out awesome
Get in early before the price goes up!
Looks like a catering joint. I wouldn’t mind paying for the burrito. If you don’t feel like it eat before. I don’t think free food is standing between RG and sales.
good point!!
all the speed deposit owners, funding rg and his sxs race program,Heli rides are fucking expensive these days! Who do you think is paying for that kinna shit??
Free food for spot holders, all others pay would be a nice gesture.
I think they take deposits on food plates….
Do we have to wait 4 years for the burrito??? lol
Yes, but it will evolve into the greatest burrito of all burritos.
That title has already been taken.
the geometry of the burrito will allow to corner down your throat nicely. that is until the "tranny" explodes during the most crucial part of its course and leaving it to be surgically removed
When they surgically remove the part do they add the pull start method for your heart
its winter time on a boating website what did you expect lol.
Boating web site? Care to share I've been looking for one.
Experience with a tranny exploding down your throat eh?
I heard they shipped a bunch of dogs back from China they were going to eat them over there anyways so they gave them back to us to make tacos
I'll take my chances with the fish taco.
Now we are bitching about the price of a burrito from a catering truck
Haters gonna hate
You are correct. In most situations the threads & comments regarding Ford,Chevrolet,GMC,Toyota,or Polaris,Can Am etc not personal just the product.Usually alotta laughs over the years. In these threads regarding Speed UTV seems personal towards RG . Not sure why that is.Lighten up Francis...
Everyone is Finally having some fun. It's a nice change of pace for this place!
