Hey Chris!! The show is called "High Octane" and should air in about 3-4mo. They shot a ton of video in 3d, not sure how much of it will make the cut. We had Gary's 300hp rzr apex, the 250hp RZR weber terminator, rzr4 130hp weber, RZR- XP , stocker rzr4 and a turd can-am X 1000....the XP whooped all over the can-am.. Mark Queen did about a 200' wheelie up Comp hill. They even rolled the can-am after a nose landing, the XP flew the jumps nice and level.

I aint BS'in you guy's about how nice the XP is....even for you guy's back east. You need to drive one before assuming it's only for the sand fleas...lol

sell your "S's" now, while you still can get good money for em..

hey Gunny, I doubt you will see A-arms, the new config of engine and trans takes up the area for a-arms. the belt change is much easier this way also. A LT kit will be easier and should be cheaper. The hatch on the bed was a good idea. I can't say enough about the xp, it's badass..Plus, no rear diff!! the straight cut gears used should be much stronger!! time will tell..

So the rear diff is part of the motor? The problem with the trailing arm setup is mostly how exposed to damage they will be in our rough rocky trails maybe someone will come up with a good protection for them otherwise i dont think it will live long on our trails without serious damage.

no, it's part of the tranny...like a VW transaxle...axles come out the side of the tranny..

I would be more worried of a a-arm getting slammed by a rock or a limb poking thru it..the trailing arm will just slide on it like a skidplate..

I just want to know how BigMike made the Charter Member list? Lol.....
I don't think there worried about the trailing arms as much as they are the arms in the rear, catching rocks and sticks and getting bent.

I was thinking the same, hauling ass down a trail and a big limb or root go between those rear bars and somethings going to be ripped off or your ass is going to be flipped.

Very good info on the XP! Nice to here it from someone who has had their ass in the seat, rather than someone who saw a picture on the net and already knows it won't work for me. Thanks man! cheers

yer welcome.... RJ Anderson had an XP at the race today, 7 mile loop -2 hr race...he took the lead with 15 in left and lost control and went backwards off a cliff into a ravine. he rolled 6 times, the stock cage held up great....the rest of the car was totaled...he was ok...my phone was dead so no pics and we were trying to retrieve another car 1/4 mile away that went down a 150' ravine..I will get the pics of both cars and post em later..

I have not made up my mind yet but I will say I did talk to the Polaris dealer about taking my stock Can Am Renegade in on trade for one. I couldn't trade my Weber in. I have became too attached to it. Plus, I have a little something coming from Mark Queen to perk it up a little. 431114
