Right on ya keep running it if ya have it why not! The Oh shit button is pretty rad I use mine a lot, the only thing I dont like it that it last for a few seconds after. I wish it was just like a 1 second push but it seems like it lasts for 3-4 seconds after ya hit it.
Remember when people in this thread were talking shit about Polaris recalls and clutches exploding? And how this car wasn’t going to be released until it was perfect?
I don't think so, I don't think he understands cars at all, any of them.So you have to have off road experience to own it ? That’s not going to work out good than beacause A LOT of non off-roaders go out and buy toys like this.
i think he understand cars shouldnt have an oil leak? also understand you should be able to shift while not moving.
I'm not gonna argue about the shifting and oil leaking, I was just playing devils advocate about this guy in particular. He's done some other small videos, and is active on the Speed FB pages, he doesn't come off like the sharpest tool in the shed.
I don't know the guy, but it seems like flying airplanes and teaching people to fly airplanes is a tiny bit harder than driving around on dirt.
Lol. Game changer.....
You don't need to be sharp to shift, see leaks, or drop it off 4 times.
What IQ should one have to own a off road toy? Maybe they should add this question to the order form.
You come off as a dick!
.
LOL, OK
I don't have buyers remorse if you're referring to me, but Bryce has posted quite a bit of info/reviews/comments/videos etc.......This is where my opinion comes from.
I think you make a good point. Most SxS owners are just regular guys. We all aren't off-road racers. My skills can normally get stuff fixed and back to the trailer/dock/home. But I possess no special skills.
I agree, but I would hope that most of the SXS buyers could at least turn a wrench or trouble shoot a little bit.
Maybe he got them under the discounted accessory deal with free installation ! Haha
ohh wait that might be a while
This is what I was referring to, is your clutch sequential or Torque converter? They both have their differences and challenges.I completely agree what dirtslinger has mentioned above.
I don't know this guy and it looks like none of us do here with almighty RDP brain trust on staff, so with that said it's pure speculation of what skills he possesses or not, he seems like a nice kid just trying to share his experience with the SPEED car.
However, I'd be upset as well with the oil leak not being addressed with 3-4 trips to the shop, and a Radiator leak, the speakers, who would speakers in an off road car
The trans issue though is all on SPEED for building a trans that is clearly not user-friendly for joe-p-public, it's the only one to come to market where it's not for any human to get in start and go, it will need some sort of explanation and coaching.
Maybe an automatic would have been a better start and then introducing a sequential trans for the racing circuit idk.
Maybe the SPEED trans might be more user friendly due to it having centrifugal clutch, I won't know til I drive one
I have a sequential trans in my 3300# dual sport car, nobody in my group can jump in my car and take off without instruction, shifting is another challenge lol.
IMO sequential tranny's take some seat time to get the timing and feel too get it right, every route you take through the dunes or open desert can be a challenge, just coming up on an obstacle at speed then slamming on the brakes almost coming to a complete stop dropping it in the right gear quickly (with authority lol) to keep the momentum going and take off again takes some practice lol
I have a fortin h pattern in my dual sport and being a dog ear box it is kind of that way. If i walk out into the garage right now and try and put it in each gear with the car off there will usually be one sometimes two gears it doesnt want to go into, if i roll it foward a foot it will go into those gears fine and now maybe not one of the others. While driving if i come to a stop having it in first gear clutch in and try and go straight to reverse sometimes it wont and i just have to release the clutch while in neutral and push it back in and that moves the dogs enough to drop right in.
Holy crap. If i were speed I’d take care of his issues asap. Maybe even put him on “staff”
I’m glad I hate Chinese food
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the thing you're referring to as a rivet is an allen bolt with a nut on the backside. I'd remove that and take that heim joint out, and then try and shift the car.
I have been very observant on this thread. According to a few select individuals, you must own a boat to be on RDP, and now you must have off road experience to own a speed.So you have to have off road experience to own it ? That’s not going to work out good than beacause A LOT of non off-roaders go out and buy toys like this.
The boat, should be a yes, why else would you be on River Daves Place?
What he understands is marketing…by saying this car is “not for a novice”, it gives Ricky Racer a boner cause he sure in the hell ain’t no novice
I saw 1 other person post about having trouble with the shifting, I wonder if there are more, and if so, how many.
Great points all.
In a few weeks, I'll let everyone know.....
You of all people no doubt understand the possibility intentions from the beginning Speed UTV will have much smaller market share compared to all major manufacturers.
Thanks for the kind words. And you're 100% correct. I didn't do the Tres class, however I had some hands on instruction from a long time Skater employee/rigger who has many years in HP cats. As a matter of fact, he left Skater and has his own repair facility in Michigan now. Also had AJ in the boat and he helped a bunch. Lots to learn in these things.
And you have to be a rich republican, conspiracy theorist, survivalist, gun toten racist. Lol
Just posting a couple more photos if they help with the diagnostics either way simple enough.
