On the way home from little league about 20 minutes ago I saw two speed cars on a trailer getting on the 15. I think it was at magnolia. I was coming from el Cerrito. Didn’t have time to take a pic while driving

No shit, I live right there. Wonder if they are local or if RG’s warehouse is off El Cerrito somewhere

no other brand or manf. has this much buzz, positive or negative, pretty cool to watch

RG told me before "As long as people are talking about you, you're good. Its when they stop talking about you that you have to worry"

I drove around this location yesterday and didn’t see any signs of Speed UTV, but it was also Sunday around 12:30pm so there wasn’t a single car or person on that entire block. Someone had mentioned over by Pro Armor, we drive by there 4 times a week on the way to class, next time that I have time I’ll drive down that street and make a pass.

I only posted that because it was an AP Logistics address in Corona, so it seemed the most likely place since he was renting from them. I have no real information, except it appeared they were working inside yesterday.

Yesterday there was only 1 car in the parking lot when we drove by(looks like it hadn’t moved in months) when I got on the 91 this morning I looked down and could see there was at least 2 more cars along the side of that building. But it’s a very large building and can’t see what in front.

Hoping to see an unbiased 3-way shootout between the Pro-R, Speed and new Maverick R.
Desert and Dunes, 100% stock other than paddles for sand.

@RiverDave you should try to arrange this and publish the results before it's done elsewhere

Get a seasoned offroad race driver who isn't associated with any of the three brands - maybe a truck or buggy guy.
Then also have an "average joe's" perspective - a guy who currently runs an older RZR or X3 or recreational purposes.

River Dave is biased so it won’t work.

Because you think the speed is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s been proven otherwise to this point.

I’m biased too fwiw

Put the speed key in it and try those again..

 

[Fishd00d]

Is the Speed Key even happening? A lot of these cars are over 500 miles now so wonder whats up with that.

 

[Bpracing1127]

that would only effect the drag race portion. rest of the results stay the same. brakes likely get worse as its going faster.

Your car will have the Speed key Sunday? Ill be at the SSSS Sunday.

I heard a lil sumpthin sumpthin about speed key/CARB approval...

So that's all I'm gonna say about that.

I think you have to break the motor in before you start running the speed key.. that said if ya want to go for a rip in one in that mode I can probably make that happen in havasu.. .

Before people start the shiz talking, my folks bought a new Toyota at the beginging of the year. They still have not recived their 2nd key.. "shortage toyota says"

They upgraded the compound on the brake pads. Showed testing a little over a month ago.

Yes but how does it do with 300 hp. Going that much faster

I guess we shall see!
For me id probably only use the speed key in the sand, all desert stuff Id rather have the range until we can get an additional fuel tank.

 

[sandshark1]

I thought they were still working out some of the tuning with the Speed Key and that was the delay.

The E85 (Speed Key) tune is already approved by CARB and posted on CARB's website.

We dont know thats the Speed Key tune, it could just be the regular tune on E85.....

I'm glad You said that and not me...

The fine print on the bottom is telling as well.

Interesting. Be kind of strange to advertise a 300hp E85 tune and not have it CARB certified by now.

This is all just speculation at this point. In one of the latest videos, Robby said they would be issuing Speed Key's to people, not sure who or how many, so we will see what actually happens.

 

[JM21]

He said in one of his last lives that he was bringing 60+ cars to SSSS. That sounds like a nightmare!

 

[702sandman]

Does anyone know if they used the speed key when they raced Norra or KOH this year ?

 

[HNL2LHC]

Anyone know what is the timeline for a #700ish car?

 

[dirtslinger2]

Does anyone know if they used the speed key when they raced Norra or KOH this year ?

From my understanding no, Max's car had a different tune, and was on race gas I believe, the other 2 were on a stock tune.

 

[sandshark1]

Does anyone know if they used the speed key when they raced Norra or KOH this year ?

I think they only raced with race gas or stock tunes. I would think e85 lacking fuel mileage would not be good for long desert racing.

 

[Racer56]

Anyone know what is the timeline for a #700ish car?

700 Last week of November and 750+ first week of December.
