Thanks, that would be appreciated. I have a buddy who flies and he's asked me a couple times if I wanted to head out there and check them out. I don't know for sure that I could just show up and I also wanted to give them some time to get more of my upgrades installed. I might be able to get out there this week or next.

It looks like down the line they are getting window nets on.
What accessories did you order?

Heated and air cushion seats, spare tire/axle/tierod, crescent rear bed box, window nets, PCI radio/intercom/pumper, windshield, display package (belt temp, tire temp/psi, front and rear camera, rear view mirror, full car UHMW skid plate, electric jack.
Cool, I added pretty much those same things minus that electronic pachage, but I wish I would have

Thanks! 31 is mine and haven't seen this pic yet. I wish I had a formal pickup date!
Pretty pathetic you don’t even have a commit date after all this time and the car is just sitting there.

One thing consistant with all speed pictures is there seems to be no body ever working

They are installing accessories, and finishing up the cars post delivery since they didn't ship 100% built, you think they are really just sitting there, and nobody is doing anything?

It shows that way. I am surprised it’s taking that long to install stuff I would think 2-3 days per car with a team of 2 guys.

Are you watching some sort of shop video, or just going off of snap shots in time, AKA pictures? Zoom in on the top picture I posted there is literally someone working on a car.

thought the same, but the only thing I really care about is the belt temp sensor. So wasn't worth the 1200 bucks back then
but thinking about it now, it might have been so the dash would be unlocked to get the readings...
can also do that aftermarket belt temp sensor that they were using during testing too.

this thread is like getting your news from mainstream media....disinformation everywhere, mis information everywhere, fanbois and haters everywhere propping up their "propaganda". I think its safe to say that nobody here knows shit about anything to do with these Speed Cars. No1 has any idea how it will stack up against the PRO R4 Ultimate. The good thing is we see some cars coming in. Soon we will be able to have the truth in front of us. I for one hope its an absolute gamechanger just to get the competition going. I hope Robby is successful as hell. Fuckin American Dream what he is doing. Hope all you haters enjoy your misery....

Cant wait to see some actual comparisons from guys like Shock Therapy and the Racing teams. Good Luck to all you guys getting cars soon I hope it was worth the wait. Im still gonna go with the PRO R4 Ultimate. But I hope Speed kicks ass!
So you’re saying nobody knows Shit about Fuck…..

I think it was designed that way.

I Concur !!

Oh we are gonna talk KOH now are we? I sure am glad nobody wants one!

🙄 😁

I don’t see Speed bringing one to KOH. Everyone will be asking why they are not racing. Only reason Speed would show up is to try and make the weekend about them IMO :)

The 40 mile desert loop opens Thursday at noon. Pre-running starts sometime that day. Helping a 1600 car (class B4) and a class 11 car this weekend. More then willing to pre-run in the Speed if someone has one.

Robby said more than one speed car is racing KOH. We will see if it happens. The last few speed racing attempts have been fairly half assed if you ask me.

Wonder if he was talking the Desert Race (this weekend) or the Can-Am UTV Race (qualifying 02.06, race 02.09).
Will be interesting if he shows. I will be in the pits this weekend (hoping for main, but might pull the remote pit card), so we will see if he goes by :)

I thought these speed cars could not race the normal utv class because of specs or something like that?

I heard someone say both both I did not hear that from him so?

They are legal in the local race series from what I have read/heard. I don't know about Score but I wouldn't see why not. I think the only reason why most were saying the cars are not legal is because production numbers haven't been met.

The 40 mile loop is the qualifying loop and the whole course is 95 ish miles that we will race on Sunday

Class 11 is only doing the 40 mile loop, and I believe that also counts for the B-4 cars as well, which is what Singleton is helping out.
B4 qualifies on the 40, races full 90. Don’t hold me to that, printed pit package and threw it in trailer. I will read it tomorrow night once park on the lakebed :)

Had two glamis buddies buy two ultimate pro r's, all black, 2 seaters, paid 41 otd, not to shabby

They dune rather nicely. I'm amazed on how well the suspension electronics work for the recreational driver. And the shocks appear legit.




However, they do not have number plates, nor do they have "master numbers" just saying.

Hopefully a Talon will be a new addition to my stable this spring. Was on the fence brand wise and had a thorough talk with a friend that has 3 razors, 2 can ams and a talon. Talon to the top according to him. And he works his stuff very hard.

I know Ken from Push turbo is flying out this week to prep Speed cars for KOH. Pretty sure they will be there.

It's obvious the Pro R is far superior over the Speed. From pricing, to build quality, travel numbers, HP numbers.

Anybody who thinks otherwise is in denial and doesn't know their ass points down.

If you need any advice or parts for the Talon, My son Cole is on the Honda Offroad Race team for the Talon and Ridgeline Truck. Im sure he would be more than willing to help. They are a great platform.

I just found out today I know someone who was a Big investor in the turbo option/design. Maybe he knows your son?

I'll send you a PM to discuss. 👍🏼

RG told me he is bringing 3 Speed SXS to KOH to race the desert race this weekend. These are not production cars, these are race cars built in his shop based off the platform, they are tig welded race cars. Lets see if they show up, I hope at least one of them does!

The desert loop is a 40 mile qualifier, 100 mile main race laps with 2 laps (200 miles total) and ALL utvs race in the same class there is no separate classes for this one, they are ALL In B3 which will race Sunday morning after doing a 40 mile qualifying loop on Saturday.

You can watch ALL of it live with badass coverage on King Of The Hammers youtube channel starting Saturday morning, dont be too rough on my commentary on the show hopefully I dont fuck it up too bad :)

Good luck!

But I'm kinda confused (as always).

😜

This shows a number of different classes. Did something change? Thanks. 😊
