I've driven a stock rhino around a bit at dumont and an rzr a little in glamis in the dunes off around pad 5, but i'm wondering what its like in a custom built moto powered sxs? would like to get a ride in one if at all possible, but any input would be appreciated.

They are lots of fun.. no comparsion to even a built rhino motor. my old motor was a built to the max730. my stock r1 motor rips through the dunes even with dirt tires. I bet it wouldbe insane w/ paddles. you would not be disapointed

are you going to be in glamis for pres day? if so, would you mind taking me for a ride in it?

BansheeBoy - it's like the difference between riding a stock 400ex in the dunes with stock tires, and a Banshee with pipes and paddles.....NIGHT and DAY. And a LOT of fun!

I will be out there that weekend. PM me your number and I will give you a ride in mine.

BB, bring spare panties!!!

haha it takes quite a ride to actually scare me

PM sent

Off the topic of the ride, can anyone help me with some info on the R1 swap out? I've seen a couple postings on here on it but they were over the top builds. I just wanted some info on the transmissions with reverse. I looked at RPM and Jeff CO. What are you using? Thanks.

King sand cars. Has worked perfect for me but no reverse.

looks like this

The way they did the rear on the black one is pretty cool.

Here is our "SV1" motorswap kit - this one was developed for duners - the SV1000 motor will fit between the seats in the stock Rhino motor location - super nice fit and really fun!! Drive system is direct chain....not gearboxes to mess with.

A HUGE thanks to Quad Cartel for stopping by and taking the time to give me a ride in his rhino. That thing was awesome and he's a great guy for sure. Thanks man

what does it cost to do that swap

You are welcome Chris. It was nice to meet you and your family.

So... what's it like?

i just finished my R1 powered RZR and had it at G last weekend. they are very fast and you have to keep the R's up like a banshee. a good tunned suspension is necessary to keep the power on the ground and you from killing yourself.

i was very suprised at how fast the motor builds power and takes off. i had a hard time letting the motor rev out before shifting due to me never driving a street bike and i sm not used to hearing a motor scream at 10k rpm.

i did not miss reverse as much as i thought i was going to and you just have to think before you park.

my motor is very loud and i had to wear earplugs, i forgot once and my ears were hurting after a ride.
