Yeah that has screwed up a few people I know. A good friend of mine had a Speed on order, but sold his spot and bought a 2 seat Pro R. In theory this should have been easier to clear his slide in his Toyhauler. But as you guessed it’s wider than the Speed, which he was not expecting. Then he put...

Great video comparison's. I really liked the 2nd & 3rd videos.

Everyone is so shocked about these ICE raids, but this was normal in the 80’s. I remember watching on the news that Vans shoes was busted and hundreds were arrested. Companies were getting fined when audited by the INS. (INS is now ICE) SS# had to be verified if not the company could get in...

81 cars going on the Speed ride tomorrow. That’s pretty cool. By Brother in Law was on the Parker AZ Arctic Cat XXtraviganza ride last weekend and they had 38ish XX’s and a few Speeds on that ride.

Never said he does not have to own it. Just stating what I believe and what I’ve heard. I’m pretty sure RG takes this personal. Two years ago at KOTH, he admitted that if he could do this over he would not have done it. It’s that F’ing hard. You’re right he wanted to be different then the...

To be fair, those were Robbys words. He said he was restrained by bean counters at both Polaris & Arctic Cat. He vowed to be different. It was not hard to believe him, especially in the early days as it was legit and he had well known people behind the project. Guys like Weddle said, this is...

Here is the Polaris video that talks about the new housing. Go to minute 3:30.

All 2025 Pro R models come with this one piece cast thermostat housing. It started at a race part that became production. About 6 months ago on one of the Polaris race shop talk videos they talked about this part, and being developed for the factory race team and then made into production.

Not good! I’ve said it before, the best thing that could happen is Speed hires a CEO to run the day to day and to hire the proper people for each dept. This would let RG & TR do what they do best which is design the products, but let someone else manage it on a professional level. They have to...

Super old video from years ago. RG just reposted it and everyone thinks it’s something new. That’s the NC shop for reference, which was sold a couple years ago to Tesla. I’m not sure why RG is rehashing old info? But so many are thinking it’s new, so I guess it worked??

How do you like the Wen? I’m looking at the Wen 3600 dual fuel one, as it’s still portable enough to load in a truck or take somewhere, but has the 30 amp plug so I could plug into my house panel and run necessities during an outage.

Sean, speaking about the trans being almost identical to the Polaris XP turbo trans. I thought I heard that there were a few gears or shafts that AC discontinued to sell. Is this correct? And if so, could the Polaris version be used, or is Weddle or someone making internal parts for the XX...

Long story, but the guy that owned Predator. He had two 4 seat Predators made. I don’t remember the whole story on them? A few years later I stumbled upon one and I almost bought it. It was sort of a Frankenstein, not because it was a 4 seater, but because it was based on the X18, but the rear...

Not sure how many remember the Arctic Cat Havoc X? It was probably the first true crossover utility sport UTV. It was wider then its predecessor and came with 2.5 King Shocks. The engine was built by Weber. (MPE 1000 (957cc) twin cylinder liquid-cooled SOHC 8 valve 4-stroke) it was a dry sump...

Only way your getting a Rotax is through Can Am. BRP who is Can Am owns Rotax. Rotax does build and supply motors to other companies, but a few years ago I was told that Rotax will not sell to any competitor brands in the Powersports industry. But I do agree that would be a killer engine. I’d...

I mentioned the patents on post 18, and speculated that RGM probably gets nothing from those as part of the terms of the AC release contract. I could be wrong, but TR brought up one time about them not getting royalties, but that they won their court case. Which has since been overturned. Also...

Unfortunately that is why that round of AC ownership failed and eventually sold to Textron, as they were months away from filing bankruptcy. Textron saved Arctic Cat. Then unfortunately again Textron did nothing to make the brand what it once was. I never understood why they even bought it...

What about them? For one, AC has the rights to use any & all patents. I’m told when the two parted ways, some of the terms were royalties were dropped, but that was also I think RGM thought they would get it in the court case, which they won, and later was overturned. To the best of my knowledge...

100% and that would be the hope that a established powersport company would buy the AC brand, and their foundation and network already in place would make getting parts, getting dealer support and overall trying to grow the product better. With the current owners of AC, they never cared about...

This would not be a direct competitor to the Pro R’s and Mav R’s. Those are the top of the food chain vehicles, and their price points show it. This hypothetical UTV would be competing with brands in the low to mid $20K range, as that’s still a very strong market share nationwide. Polaris...
