Are you running with both sway bars removed? I’ve pulled the front but heard removing the rear as well would make the machine pretty squirrelly. I’m on 30’s now and the extra clearance has been nice but the ride seems a little rough with 17 lbs in the tires.
How's the Tusk rubber holding up, and what sizes are you running? ~12lbs? Do you think you could have gotten much further, once in the snow, with a more aggressive tire, like the Carnivore? I'm running Carnies on my RMax4, and don't mind giving up a bit of tread wear, for some extra bite on a greasy, exposed, off camber side hill section. I've run the same set of Carnivores- 1st on a '21 YXZ, then moved that set of 30s onto the RMax4. I'm happy with both wear and performance (no flats, mounted to Method beadlocks). Looking forward to some high elevation trails in UT next month.
Which trail was that? Looks like a great place to test out my new 30” Maxxis Liberty tires. I dropped the front sway bar as well based on your videos and can’t believe what a difference it makes!
Use to love riding White Wash back in the day before it became so popular. Beside the dunes there is great canyon riding all the way to the river. Thanks for the ride along!
Thanks. It's been a while since the last video. Not my usual but there are some places that I want to remember when I'm too old to ride. I enjoy the scenery and I hope others will too.
Love your videos. Does your cab get hot when you’re riding for awhile. I have a Honda pioneer 1000 and the cab area gets really hot even on a 80 degree day. I’m thinking of getting a R max. Thank you for the videos.
I love your videos. I have a question. Does the cab get hot at all. I have a Honda pioneer 1000 and it gets really hot to where your legs feel that they are on fire. I’m thinking on getting a Rmax. Thank you. Frank
I was running 30" Maxxis Liberty's (Rmax4) and John was running new 32" Terrabites. I just put on 32" Terrabite Aramides. We both have Bandit tender springs, front limit straps, and no sway bars. Thanks.
I appreciate the thought. What I can say is that you can usually hear us switch into diff lock. Often accompanied with expletives when it doesn't shift right away. Drive mode. I run in trail mode most of the time. I will run in crawl in more technical terrain. The slow throttle response is nice when the terrain gets uneven/off cambre and you are trying not to roll it. I rarely use sport mode. Deep snow and sand which is seldom for me. Thanks.
If there ever was a case of needing the front (at least) stabilizer bar removal.....I just watched it, very little articulation observed! To bad manufacturers have to deal with liability issues as much as they do!
Hello, I watched a number of your videos as I wait for my RMAX4 XT-R to arrive. Have you done a walk around on any mods to your RMAX? Tire sizes, fwd front a-arms/stock, etc. Is it on Wolverineforums? How does the full windshield with solid vinyl/poly rear work on dust?
I have not done a walk around. I am happy to mention some specifics. Right now I am running 30" Maxxis Liberty's with 1.5" spacers all around. I have Weller tie rods as well. A arms are stock. I have the Yamaha synthetic full skid plate ( a must). I have a thing for wind in my face and rarely have my windshield up. I thought I made a mistake in not getting the flip up windshield until I drove my buddies xtr and because of my height it obstructed my view. The soft rear window is perfect for me. Really cuts down on dust. I am also running the Bandit tender springs on all corners and they are a huge improvement. I am running a greaseless cvt with carbon fiber sliders. My next upgrades will be 32" tires, power vision 3, putting a shim in the cvt for better low end and the new hood light. You are going to love that machine. Good luck!
@@jimscang Thanks for the reply. I am looking at building my own glass fold down windshield with wiper. I think I can use the brush guard for a down mounting point. The Bandit, Schmidy, or Shock Therapy shock upgrade is on my list. I have seen that hood light on Amazon. Should I wear the OEM tires out before upgrade? Is your setup the same on all for corners? Was the Weller tie rods preventative or a repair?
I would run those tires. I would have except I tore a sidewall and they were not available at the time. So I ended up buying tusk beadlocks and tge Liberty's. I also bought a spare combo. The carnage sidewalls are a little soft so be careful, otherwise not a bad tire. I did go with a square setups with 10" wide. The tie rods were because I did something stupid. I just got through a very technical section and was being distracted and ran into a 20" boulder on the driver's side. Luckily my buddy had a spare at his house and we were able to change it out the next day. The Wellers are a better design. I wouldn't switch them out unless you have to. That happened on my Spring Creek video.
@@jimscang OBTW Really enjoy your filming style, with POV, exterior shots, moving around, makes it interesting and is great seeing the RMAX(s) work through the technical stuff. Thank you.
Just for the record I am not interested in advertising any trails we ride going forward. Social media is quickly getting trails closed through over use and abuse. It doesn't take much effort to figure out where these trails are.
@@jimscang I'm not concerned with what you're interested in. Keep them open through education about trail etiquette instead of secrecy and pretending they belong to you or that only you are allowed to access them. You should be more open to welcoming people that want to join the off-road community. If you're that worried, disable the comments or stop showcasing the trails.
All things considered, I am very happy with it. The only thing I would change is my seating position. I am 6' 3" and am a little cramped in the cockpit. I think for most people this is not an issue. I am going to modify the seat mount to tilt it back a little. These machines a very reliable and I love how they perform. No regrets.
@@jimscang I'm 6'1" and I could use more legroom also. I may try moving seat back, but it looks like I would have to do some cutting and welding. 2021 rmax 4 le. looking at some tusk terabytes and bead locks 31 inch.
Great video, thanks for sharing! You have beautiful land to ride on. Is it all public? I was fortunate enough to back country camp and ride some near Silverton 2 years ago.
I always enjoy your videos and this one is particularly beautiful! I'm on the front range with a new RMAX2 and always looking for good trail rides with parking for a truck and trailer, which are becoming harder and harder to find. I grew up in the high country and spent most my years near the Indian Peaks area. I can sometimes recognize where you are riding but I haven't figured this one out yet. Gross Res. area perphaps? Regardless, keep up the good work as I live vicariously through your videos.
