This is probably the best real world engineered utv! With all of RG experience in racing he knows what works and what doesn’t! ????????????????????
Incentivise* if that’s a word. Competitor Mfg trade ins : )
Love the radiator in the back. But I know two UTV race teams who had their radiator mounted low and struggled with cooling. Eventually having to move them up. Alumicraft buggy’s have been mounting radiators low for years with no issues. My guess is the UTV water pumps & might be part of the cooling issues as both cars had large radiators & fans. Would also like to see some ducting to let natural airflow get to the radiators too.
Also will the chassis lower front suspension clip be modular like the Arctic Cat XX? I really liked this design and after looking at the winning XX at the D38 race, he took a nasty hit to a rock and bent the lower sub frame. He was still able to finish & win the race. But for less then $200 he can buy, & fix his chassis to race another day. Super cool concept, just like the modular clips on the SST trucks.
Looks like the first utv to have a legit chassis built like a full tube chassis should be. The other engineers need a class on dead tubes
Why not just build a mini TT with a straight axle and 4 link setup? mid engine AWD change the game up!
#respect
300 horse power? ????
So who is your manufacturer Rob?
I’m buying the next shifter utv, not Yamaha or honda
1/3 scale tt #provemewrong
????????
good thing you have an unlimited supply of SPEED at the shop to keep you up ☕
How much ground clearance at full bump.
@joserubalcaba these might be the best choice. Looks like lots of R&D

Flexin like the hummer did ????
Keep believing bro never give up. #proud
Man!! This is badass!
There you go. LCA’s that can be used on either side of the car ????
Yes!!
What about using a live axle with trailing arms like those trucks you race?
????
OMG Rear mounted radiator?!?!? ????Please don’t tease this. Tell me now.
Not using existing XX chassis? All new?
