He said “it’s going to be the best ever”. He’s still working it out. You are seriously painting this in the most negative light ever
But NOBODY has any of these “best race machine’s” swinging on someone’s nuts that hasn’t delivered.

If we've learned anything in the last few years about Robby, it is that doesn't give a shit about anyone's opinion.
And any press is good press, he loves haters and non-haters. If they are talking about HIM (Speed) he loves it.
Your so wrong. He attacks anyone who questions him or his Chinese products. (Tools, RC Cars, Motorcycles, SXS) and anything else he gets paid to rebrand.

Painting is what has been seen which is failure after failure including when they would be delivered

Anyone remember when the famous for their eggnog Broguiere's Dairy Farm in Montebello had the customer wall of shame behind the cash register? 16 feet of signs floor to ceiling.

Signs saying Schmuckella family banned, Bottomly Buttley and his family have been trespassed and arrested, Mr Picknose and his wife Cynthia passed a bad check and are cash only, Lester Dinerstine tried to spend a counterfeit $20 here, Buttwoman caught shoplifting and several dozen more signs of shame in HUGE letters?

RG should do the same in his shop with some of posters in these Speed Threads.

The best part about not having a instagram account is watching the videos and not being able to read the comments!

Normal, the comments are the best part!

Epic fail on the RG account though. Maybe it's just the crowd he draws?

🤷‍♂️

Agreed, they’re entertaining. Maybe they weren’t awesome or quite genius but there’s no way he didn’t see it coming.

He doesn't give any fucks. He's got way bigger fish to fry if he's gonna get this thing off the ground.

The only crazy part to me is...

2500 cars a month? Does he seriously think there are that many buyers out there??

That doesn't sound sustainable to me. Not at 60 to 80k a pop anyway.

Who knows.

well they have around 19K orders so far, so they need to produce that many a month. If the car is good, I'm sure they will be getting a sustainable number of orders. I believe they will also develop other models, like a kids sxs, a skinny model for the people who are in the woods, there's also the enclosed cab model etc..........

BTW, the cars are not 60-80K grand. You could probably rack up enough accessories to get you into the 60K range, but not 80K.
I'm at about 42K with all of the accessories I added, but I'm an early buyer.

The way I understand it is...

Speed has 2000 to 3000 or so customer orders, and the rest are dealer stock orders.

And didn't someone just sell a pre order for 80k? 🤔

Pricing on the speed website it 35 to 50k with no options added.


That's a shit ton of money for a rubber band powered toy. I just don't see 2500 a month, being sustainable (for the long run).

As I said...

Who knows.

Anything is possible. The keep up with the Joneses crowd is strong. 👍🏼

Last I heard, customer direct cars was apx 3500 now. Then you have apx 15k dealer units.

I don’t see 2500 a month either. Once caught up 500 for a period of time and ramp up based on sales.

It will be interesting to see what occurs once dealers have units to see available for immediate delivery.

They start at 50 now for an RG, before any accessories at all are added. Went over and looked at them. Awesome cars but that’s a big pill to swallow.

Ended up with this, and I’ll reassess the Speed situation once they’re off and running;

Same thing that Always happens when dealers are sitting on unsold stock?

To be fair, the RG edition at 50K does at least come with some options already installed, it comes with nets, and a radio and intercom, that's a few grand in accessories, not including the suede seats, and orange powder coated goodies, but I wouldn't consider them an accessory.
The LE, at 47,500 you would be installing accessories on, like a radio and intercom at a minimum.
The base model still seems like a bargain for an entry level SXS.

To me, the prices seem comparable to the ProR.

That is with the wheels and tires and cage? Not bad!

Yep. Car itself they’ve got at 26,799. They’re the only dealer around that is that aggressive on them. They have one or two left, but this one had finally gotten the recalls done so he sprung it on me. I was writing the check for the stock one when he sent it

There’s a dealership near me you could pick up a really cheap wildcat xx brand new if anyone is looking.

Well, not quite as it seems when you read the fine(er) print. Still not bad, compared and we love ours. Far more than the Rzrs we had prior.

Someone willing to work a deal and actually go in probably won’t be paying those fees. They have a ton of inventory and this unit is tucked way in the back and covered with dust and hard to get to.

I think it’s like 4000 and something direct to consumer I’m in the mid 3000 range

That’s a good deal! Kevin(owner) is a good ass dude!

Yep. That’s who I’ve been dealing with, directly. Didn’t know he was the owner until WELL into our deal. He’s answered texts and IG messages at fucking midnight on a Sunday… really an awesome dude.

Nice rig. Last month he hooked me up with an insane deal on a Pro R 4.. Not to mention delivered it to So Cal for $500. Definitely buying my next car from him
