Sean@Weddle Picture/Tech Thread

[SeanRitchie]

Since I post most of this stuff on my instagram, I figured I might as well add to the post count here. I am sure Dave appreciates it. I'll chalk it up to paying back my debt to him after giving me a cold Coors Light at one of the Desert Storm street fairs some years back (I guarantee he had no idea who I am, he was more than a few deep at that time of the evening, but thanks Dave (fist bump)).

Don't expect me to answer immediately, or at all if I don't care to. I don't have much time to monitor all the different platforms. Feel free to comment as desired, don't expect a response from me if I don't feel like the comment is worth my time to respond to. I have no problem "posting and ghosting".

I'd bet some of you would push your own grandmother down a flight of stairs to see some of the pictures of the Speed transmissions that I have, but I actually care about my confidential business relationships, so you'll just have to wait and see if Robby shows them if he is willing. (They are still going to be the strongest UTV drivetrain on the market)

I'll start off with some new Polaris Pro-R pics, since they are supposed to be the supreme units available as of today.

Enjoy:

Hi Sean,good to see you here! Been using the Wildcat XX as much as possible that you did the works to our transaxle! Been working flawlessly…thanks! Still would like to get the front dif up to you for the Weddle treatment as well! Take it easy!

I have a question...

What's the power flow on the Speed car after the crank?

Clutch > belt> trans > diffs?

Just curious is all. Thanks.

Lol comes in friendly then post pictures trashing Polaris then says no way I posting a wrecked trans from the company I have a working relationship with. Lol how could this go wrong?

Thought the same.

Stay out of the thread if you can’t control yoreself and it probably will go just fine then.

He’s not trashing anything. He has said many times they all break.

That’s correct.

I don't know this guy. But I do know a bit about Weddle.

They are legit.

I don't have a working relationship with Polaris. Not showing anything different than what I already post on my Instagram. Polaris guys actually started contacting me directly after my instagram posts. We'll see where that relationship goes.

He posted pictures of damaged parts, where did he talk trash????

@SeanRitchie I hope you don't post any pictures of Albins, Mendeola, or VW's, or you're really going to trigger people by "trash talking" them.

Our new XX front diff parts came out killer. Arctic Cat spider gear backorder is killing me on selling these right now. Been able to cobble a few together over the past few weeks though. So far so good.

Don't threaten me with a good time. (Only have a few pics, most were on an old phone)

Lets see some Albins R&P or gear damage

Most of that got lost with my old phone. Gearset in the pics I posted is an Albins set. There was some "controversy" a while back as to what caused that wear.

 

[Backlash]

With enough power and traction, you can mangle any R&P out there.

I'd be interested to hear some of the "Not-so-confidential" things that separates one from the others. Not necessarily to talk trash or dump on another brand or company, but what has proven to be a legitimate improvement for gear sets over the years.

This one worked excellent in a Lemons Car pitted next to us a few years ago.

Awesome,maybe in the off season Artic Car will pick up production of the spider gears and I’ll haul my front diff to you. Keep up the great work Sean!

My father in law made parts for Weddle back in day. Probably before you worked there.

He's retired now.

I assume that’s from a race car or a glamis car, do you see that very often ?
