That’s what happens when you buy an off-road manufacturing company and then turn the management over to a golf cart company.

If Textron wants to become a major player in the offroad world they need to turn their R&D over to Howe & Howe Who Textron just purchased and let them design some new off-road machines and improvements to the existing line. There are still way too many new buyers that we see on here every week that are experiencing serious quality control issues that need to be taken care of and I haven’t been able to make one ride with my first or second XX without having CV boots split or sway bar falling apart it’s absolutely ridiculous for the money we pay for these things to have to deal with even those kind of problems.

Wow no wonder Can Am is winning all the races I just saw a full blown race X3 car for sale on google $112,000 that’s insane

Saw that.
A Fusion.
34 gallon fuel cell in the rear. That'll keep the nose up.

is that seriously the kind of money they are spending on these machines to make them desert racers?

I am no stranger to racing I spent the better part of 12 years pitting for my son-in-law who raced stock cars,IMCA modified,s and then 360 limited sprint cars all of which I help build but this is the point about what they’re spending on these so-called factory racing UTV desert cars. Nobody who is bragging about the brand of UTV that they are riding around in for pleasure can brag about their car manufacturer winning these big races because those cars are nothing but name recognition because there’s nothing factory about them except maybe the motor.

My point is none of that technology is on a stock side-by-side you buy at the dealership I understand the high cost of everything that goes into building race cars. my son-in-law spent $50,000 just on the 360 Garrity motor for his sprint car motor.

 

[lovedirt]

is that Garrity or Gearte engine.. not sure if I spelt that right also.but yes, those sprint engines are getting up there..

yes you’re spelling is correct Gearte Racing Engines.

Yeah I hear that, he actually quit racing about 10 years ago because he was spending it all out of his own pocket on an electricians income and my daughter paid the bills.
