CVT system works. Each new model gets better at extending belt life. Reality is away from the dunes belts are rarely an issue.

As sales have shown people are less interested in shifting gears in UTV. Now if they could do shifting and figure out a way to do a turning brake that might be a different story at least in the dunes.
If we got rid of the spool in the rear and make a differential, the turning brake could be adopted. Not many people will pay the money required to make a differential for these. Many will also not care for the lack or rear traction when spinning a rear tire in the sand.

Why do the Speed Cars ads all say "this is badass!". I just have never sold anything where I need to say how bad ass something is or how much pussy you will get when you buy it. lol....People are nuts.

It must not be that bad ass or you wouldnt be flipping it!

I know the seller and I was dying laughing when I read the ad knowing his humor. Bill is a good guy.

I agree but you only need one person to buy it lol.

Posting stuff for sale on here is brutal. You’ve got 55 experts ready to pounce lol. But if you zoom out and just look at the general population…. It’s not too hard to sell something.

😂Tell Bill if he gets his asking number that he is a very wise man and I am jealous that I didnt have the foresight for this flip!
Bill's the seller, but not the owner ;) If you could basically double your money on day 1 after this 3 year long ordeal, I think you'd be a fool not to. No one in our group has SxS's so this would just be a LAM piece of furniture / novelty in the sand. Even though, they are BAD ASS as advertised. I think Speed did a great job on execution of these from what I've seen/heard.

I just sold a 1978 SIngle wide mobile home in Bullhead City and set a new sales record for the area of what we sold. It sold in 2 weekends, if somebody likes what you have money is not always important. Almost every house I have sold has set the new bar for the area. Realtors think I am crazy when I list.

An old mentor once said, There is a seat for every ass and an ass for every seat.

Honestly if that’s all I’d be happy but then again I’m gonna be waiting about another year anyway since I’m like over 3000 in line. On another note if they keep having problems with those stickers I’m gonna ask them not even to put mine on the damn car I’ll take it with no stickers versus ones I’m gonna have to peel off and deal with gooey substance on all the plastic.

I’m very limited on the options I am buying from them. I think the rear light bar is the only thing I’m buying that has any electronics on it Otherwise some spare wheels, storage box, windshield and a brake in kit.

There will Always be problems with the first model release of Anything.

There will Always be problems with anything built/assembled by more than one person.

This is why just about every vehicle manufacturer has a PDI process in place. (Pre Delivery Inspection)

There is a check list to follow, and mark on, as you do the inspection.

Tire pressure, steering wheel alignment, bulbs, you name it. It all has to be checked before putting the vehicle in a customers hands!

This has been Standard Operating Procedure for decades.

And just one of the hundreds of things Speed yet to put in place.

Good luck to all! 🤞

If anyone is serious I have car 113 with a ton of accessories on it and I would sell it for considerably less than that..

17k in accessories including adding the electronics bundle and a few other things after this list.

Agreed, but they do have a PDI procedure in place, but I believe as they get more cars into peoples hands that list will grow.
