Anyone know the details with the blue speed car in glamis? Had to get towed back to camp and rumor is it's an engine problem. I don't know how to post facebook video's here.

LOL,
I'm sure it's just a routine procedure after xxxx miles to disassemble the engine & trans to check for wear tolerances and to see if anyone has found the 10mm deep socket that was lost during assembly. :rolleyes:
Lol

Towed in the cover of darkness....

why would they pull the engine and leave the car outside! They gotta know everyone is watching.

You might be right. Here is a pic of them trying to fix it when it broke in the dunes.

I heard from someone that was out there that the car broke at or near Olds, not sure what broke, but that they hung out by the car and it seemed they purposely waited until night time to tow it back..

Careful, talk like this and the messiah will hunt you down and kill you. Or just throw some roll bar padding at you.

Well if you were them wouldn't you do the same thing? LOL

RD

I don’t know why it is a problem at all.

Remember in Feb when it was in bad taste to advertise all the new Pro Rs breaking in Glamis 🤣.

I am not getting involved, its just hearsay, i am just saying what a acquaintance told me, who by the way has a low number Speed order so he has a vested interest.

but, those we broke by owners of a R. Not the same, stay on topic.

That’s even worse. These aren’t even out yet and Speed is fixing problems as they arise, not sending new cars out with stop ride orders 🤣.

Bummer - at this point they should just wait until next season. Most of the guys currently in que have alternate cars. What is another year? This way they can get their support network up and ready.

Maybe they blew the engine on purpose :)
Since they need more time, they make up an issue saying another part needs to be redesigned based on our testing and it will be another 2-3 months before deliveries start.


FYI - it’s a joke.
Shit breaks when used.
IMO, speed is worried that cars will break and since the support to fix is limited, a broken car in a customers had will do more damage than good. Sooner or later they have to take the risk. Without a solid dealership network for fixes, this will always be a risk until dealers can sell units they already have on the floor.

FWIW they seem to be about ready to take that risk, just not on the drivetrain. And I agree with that stance. Every risk they decide not to take makes the product better.

As always, none of us know what even broke on the blue car.

The hisun will be out first and able to actually buy and drive. Rg should have made the car first test it then go to production on his dime.

He has the money to get it started. Instead he’s a maketing genious sells the idea gets people to fund it and not deliver but can play with finished car along with his buddies and throw out a teaser pic here and there.

Had he put up his dime you’d bet the cars would be out by now they’d need to sell so he can recoup the money and if as good as said he’d make the money selling cars not deposits.

Better than praying I don’t get hit by clutch shrapnel 😉
Lol you know I don’t own a side by side of any brand. So your little Polaris/can am jabs are fucking hilliraous to me as I don’t care. They all are piles of shit for broke dicks that finance toys.


You’re just beating your chest on which pile is the tallest. Carry on
