You are aggressive in that the majority of your posts quickly redirect the conversation to your agenda from whatever the main topic started out on. It is a deterrent to my engagement on this forum because your rantings about your agenda are not interesting to me. This is not due to the specific...

Mr. Legacy, The reality is there are multiple reasons why the UTVUG forum is not as busy as it once was. For me personally, your persistent aggressive posts are a deterrent. I visit this forum for industry information, updates from fellow friendly people involved in this sport, and for...

Great write up. I laughed out loud when you described being hit in the helmet shield and leaving gouges in it. I think I would probably go cross-eyed if I stared at at that for 100 miles. I have been slugged in the shoulder by a baseball sized rock before while co-driving, luckily only at about...

Thank you for sharing your race report from the Mint 400, photos and write-up are well done. I am impressed on the great job you guys did putting the car back together after Parker, it looks awesome. It is frustrating when things don't work out in racing, but don't let it get you down. We (960)...

If I am remembering correctly (if not feel free to straighten me out) that the stock '17 harness uses a spal brushless fan. If this is the case, the fan might use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control the speed of the fan to limit power consumption. If you are hooking up a non-PWM fan to a...

What if the car is thirsty? Can it get a drink too at the off-the-clock hydration stop? :) I have heard that in the brutal baja desert many cars become dehydrated and some even die due to it. I think this will really help:D.

The answer to your question will probably differ widely based on who responds and what the end goal that you are trying to accomplish (track, wheelbase, weight, cost, etc. etc.) This might be a long shot, but if you can find your way to Laughlin next weekend, it is the UTVWC race. If you came...

The faulty jack is surprising, but sometimes its the random stuff that makes things difficult. Nice write up and great job at the race!

What do you mean, UTVWC does have qualifying! It's called land rush start...just don't wreck your 50k desert race car! Not to hijack the thread, but can we at least get the land rush on a radius so the outside cars have a fair chance?

I see you in there Mr. Murray...or am I way off?

Actually, multiple other BITD classes use the top ten format. Compare the 2017 Parker 425 results with the starting order for the Mint 400. Both class 10 and 6100 trucks are using the top ten method, and I think this has been the standard for a good portion of last year (it would be pretty easy...

When Casey made that statement at Parker, I interpreted it to mean the top 10 of each class would be in front of their respective class, with the first finisher to determine which class started first. This is what appears to have taken place. If the top 10 NA cars were in front of all the...

That's really cool that Livernash was able to right you and still finish in the top 10 for the UTV ProT, nice work guys! And congrats on the podium for 1958! Mr. Felix, I don't think we've met in person, other than the occasional wave as you passed us on course while our battery melted down. I...

Excellent write up about the race. I am always impressed to hear about how teams develop different solutions to various challenges, some times Macgyvering their way to the finish. For how short this race is, it seems to be pretty hard on equipment. I suppose the combo of a sprinting pace and the...

As a member of the team it is very rewarding to hear your compliments, so thank you! Since the beginning of this project, the car has been in almost constant evolution, which I think makes some people (at times, myself included) scratch their heads and wonder if we have lost our marbles. I...

The original XP1K3 video was awesome, and this "behind-the-scenes" look provides a lot of really interesting context about what it takes to put together something like this. My hat's off to the producers MM, J'D and Mr. Anderson. This made me chuckle...:D:D

i've always wondered about the grand prix finish for this reason. I understand it from a logistics point of view, but it seems ridiculous otherwise.

BITD RULEBOOK UTV-15 ENGINE LOCATION AND DISPLACEMENT: For all UTV classes the Maximum engine displacement is 1000cc. Pro Production class UTVs must use stock engine cases and cylinder head. Note, the engine update rule will start to be effective January 1 2016. Engine updates are allowed, as...

Congrats to everyone who raced V2R! Even just following along via UTVUG from my living room it was pretty exciting. Now that the dust has settled (at least out in the desert), it would be great if someone (or a few people) who was there would provide a recap/summary of the short meeting...

Great point, I agree that transparency is critical for those racing within the class to feel confident and satisfied with the eventual outcome of this topic. What is the plan for soliciting feedback from teams that are not present? It makes sense that every team that is racing in the affected...

I typically don't comment much on this forum, but this thread has peaked my interest. It is important to note that the shock towers will absorb the same amount of load no matter what the spring set up is, the only difference will be at what amount of force you bottom the shock out at. Once the...

So we haven't posted anything in a over a month. This catch up post is quite the novel (slightly off topic also), so if you decide to continue reading, hopefully you can laugh WITH us. Things on the new car build have been progressing, albeit slower than we had hoped. The month of December...

I hope we're not keeping you up at night! This is an example of the process, not the finished product. The first model was the first cut--our initial guess at what we wanted (what I would consider "Art"). After a little analysis we found that our art is almost failing with the selected load...

Zane has taken on the mantle of our team social media/ebola czar, so he has been doing most of the heavy lifting on the forum (doing a great job!). I expect to say hello now and then. I wanted to share little on design methodology with an example. We had been working on this front bulkhead...
