😆Glad to hear you want more on the CFMOTO. That fricken thing is turning out to be a lot of work to find parts for! Hopefully I will get you some more stuff on it soon. Thanks for the input, glad to know that content is liked.
I hear you and would absolutely love to provide one! To be honest, I have been very dissatisfied with cfmotos customer service. I have not been able to get anyone to call me back to include email, phone calls, and their Instagram. Not even a "no we won't let you test our machine for a video" simply zero contact. It's pretty unbelievable. Anyway, now I'm just ranking! I will keep working on it though, hopefully soon I can get a hold of someone that can help put me in contact with the right individuals.
As far as the axles we used something similar in off-road racing on the buggies . They were axles constructed front of material called "300M". The price is similar to what we paid about $650 per axle depending on the length.
Well I can't say that I could actually feel the flex. The shafts are very similar to torsion bars and with the length and thickness of the material there is actually very little deflection. After installing these shafts I never did have a problem with the splines getting ripped off and the CV joints lasted a lot longer.
Interesting, thanks for the info. Bottom line is it sounds like they worked... At least for that purpose. I'm looking forward to seeing how well these actually work out!
Diggin the Offroad Update. I can see it being a weekly deal for sure. I Sure wish Mud Creek hadnt closed up. I never got to experience Mud Nats while it was here in Texas and wish em good luck at Hillarosa.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback man! Every week would be awesome, but I don't know if I would be able to find enough news in the industry to provide decent information every week. Maybe I can get it to that point some day, that would be great. Bummer about mud Nats! I think we will be at Quadna in June. You should come up and ride with us. 👍
I really enjoy King of the Hammers. I think I might try to make the trek out there someday. Also, the fact that they have the capability to live stream that event out in the middle of a 100 mile desert course is incredible! I have to scream at frontier on the regular just to keep my 3mb download at 2.88.:( It would be interesting to know more about those axles, and to see them stress tested.
Hahaha!! I agree, it is impressive they managed to live stream like that. I just didn't see enough about it to really have a valid input. Not at all against it. It would be an awesome event to check out. It would be awesome to see those Axles stress tested.
Cool video man, it’s always good to get your take on stuff. That looks like a nice mic but the audio was a little weird. Maybe your gain was a little high? Keep em coming!
Thanks, Chris. I appreciate your comment and feedback on the mic. I was trying to change this up a little with the audio and it didn't quite work out as well as I hoped. It wasn't the mic, it was the settings I used in editing. Appreciate the feedback, I will be changing the settings up on the next video.
@@NavigateOffroad That is the only downfall. All the really good parks for riding...they are forever and ever and ever away 🤦♂️ Another one of the excuses I am using for why I need to move. lol
@@NorthCountryBoyz haha. I just think my house should have trail access to every trail and park in the Country. Sort of like the center of a spider web. Is that too much to ask?! 🤣
@@NavigateOffroad Not toooo much at all! Just need a little time portal. "Today I am going to ride here..." Would be sweet if it worked that way! Maybe for the next generation 😎
@@NorthCountryBoyz million dollar ide brother! Everyone is trying to think of how they could get around with a time portal and ATV risers are over here like, "yea but can it zap me AND my ATV where I need to go?" 😆😆
Good point! I'm curious to know how flexible they actually are. I would think the amount of flex would determine how much the rider is affected. I would love to get my hands on a set to try them out!
Those axles sound awesome! But, just curious . . . if the axle is twisting, it is storing energy until it can untwist, at which point it would release the energy with likely more force (faster rotation) than the original force it took to twist it right (simple physics). I hope the CV joint they have attached to those axles are engineered for that extra force. You'd think they would be right?, but what about the hub splines, bearings, lug nuts or even the differential that are factory original? I'm thinkin' . . . OUCH! - LOL - But don't worry, I'm sure SuperATV will build some stronger "other parts" to go with those SuperAxles for the low low price of only $44/month - HAHAHAHA. Excellent video as always buddy! Good info & really cool set! Oh, and the audio issue seems to be fixed - sounded great.
Great points on opposing force... Even though the word simple and physics should never go together 🤣. And haha, I bet you're right on the extra parts to go with it and make sure it's solid... But what's another $44 a month times four right?! Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate that. Glad to hear the audio seems to (slowly) be getting better.
1. That Acrtic Textron ordeal is a mess. They should have stuck by their decision to change the brand name. 2. Those axles are gunna be like 650$ per axle for Canadians, that's bonkers.....I think it's gunna take some time before we find out if these are the real deal or not, especially due to the fact that RHINO has not had a great past with axle quality (Not including the 2.0 axle line).....Great warranty tho. I would sure like a set.
I doubt super atv just through them on the market guy I know for a fact they do lots of r and d and I would pay 500 bucks an axle if I knew I would never have to buy another one
@@theirishaxe9405 They do lots of R and D and their original rhino axles and the lifts suck lol It's no secret. I would also pay the price if I knew they were gunna last. SO I agree with you dude. I just think (like I stated) that it's gunna take some time before we find out how good they actually are. That companies track record for quality is up and down so that's why I'm not just gunna take their word for it. Time will tell, fingers crossed.
@hondude, I agree about the whole Textron ordeal! As for the Axles, I think it's pretty interesting and I love the idea. I am also curious how well they will work out. They are definitely expensive, but if they work as good as they sound... Maybe it's worth it?
@John, yea if they worked so well you never had to buy other ones (serious extremes aside... Nothing is unbreakable) they may be totally worth it. Like you guys said, I guess time will tell.
Love the idea of this. Not sure if you have done an episode for rules,regs and laws for youth riders but i could use some help with that? Last law enforcement we spoke with gave us lots to run with but he ended it with - officer discretion. Thanks much. And im with the other guy on cf motto reviews lol
Thanks for the video idea, Nick! I've actually thought about doing a regulations video before (I like the idea of youth specific though too!). The problem I am running into is how to address it as they vary by state. So what I say for one state, will be different for another state.
As for the CFMOTO, glad to hear everyone is liking those videos! The issue we are running into is getting someone from CFMOTO to get back to us about reviewing more of their machines. Hard to get someone there to answer phone or email.
That's sort of my thoughts. I'm sure in rwality, the twist is so minimum you would never know without getting down there and measuring it as it happens... I'm guessing? I'm really curious to see these in action.
Thanks for that input, Jolsen. Can I ask for a little more details? Are you looking for basic info on different types of tires and which ones you should use when?
@@NavigateOffroad I do mixed riding like most people so I don't want a pure mud tire. So something with good road manners on the Soo line trail but can still handle the mud up at Emily and outting. But a run down of some of your favorite tires for different types of riding and the pros and cons of each tire would be awesome. I am looking to replace my tires before the season starts this year in mini snow duh LoL
Great, thanks for that input Jolsen! I love hearing about videos people have interest in and want to see. It takes a lot of the guess work out of it! In the meantime, I am running Dirt Commanders on a scrambler that I have used on both those trails ironically. Might be something to check out. They are a great "everything tire". Here is a link so you can see which ones I am referring too. amzn.to/2F7w8xE
I could see the value if you are an individual who is known to snap Axles, and this actually does the job to prevent that. I agree, they are pretty expensive! But if they work as advertised and you are not replacing near as many Axles, then I could see why people would make the switch.
Ummm...I am going to pass on that price. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. If you have to make payments crucial parts beyond making payments on the machine itself....most likely you should not be involved in the sport. Granted, as you stated...we all come from different financial backgrounds. I personally prefer not having payments or loans with anyone or anything. Financially could I purchase a flexible axle? Yes. Will I actually make the jump? NO. I just can't justify the purchase. Unless there is a lifetime warranty on them! For now I will stick to the HighLifter DHT Axles. 1800 miles and no breakage.
Right on brother! I agree, payments on parts is a bad idea. I love rising, but if you have to pay monthly for parts, you should just wait and save up your money until you are at a point financially to do the hobby (outside of the machine itself, I understand why some people do that).
The Arctic Cat/Textron venture is nothing short of a hot mess....and its dragging the snowmobile end down with it. Sorry...that's for another channel altogether. Anyhow....I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Am hoping you can make it into Michigans U.P. for a review at some point. The trail system is shared here....and makes for miles upon miles of great trails and scenery. Gas, food and lodging are of abundance....its a region that caters to the ATV'ers in the warm season....and snowmobilers in the winter. The businesses and trail clubs are committed to year round recreation for visitors as well as locals. Come for a few days. Bring the family. We have a little slice of heaven here. Room for tents or a camper. All the amenities including electric...water frontage with a swimming hole. Won't cost you a dime & we'd love to have ya.. We have a Cforce & a Uforce also...you wouldn't feel like an oddball on the trails.
Hey James, thanks for your input (and compliments?). We are actually hoping to make it to the U.P. This summer to ride. Any specific recommendations on best places to visit first? Any trails that stand out as being better and provide good lodging options?
@@NavigateOffroad Actually yes. Obviously the west end of the U.P. is going to be much closer to you and cut down on your travel time. However, I do not visit that area of the state often enough to give much input or recommendation on trails....lodging or sights. I do have some experience with the mid or central region of the U.P. and the trails there. Namely the Munising, Whetmore, Gran Marais areas. Munising itself is a beautiful village right on lake Superiors south shoreline. It boasts many trails that go in all directions....including the Superior Bluff (historically known as Pictured Rocks). You can ride in any direction from Munising and trails are plentiful....scenic....and there are many fuel....watering and food stops within the system. The Seney area just to the south on Munising is a trail paradise. The trails are marked 8, 88 & 888. And are quite popular in the winter for snowmobilers....but also used in the warm months by ATV'ers. Each designated "8" trail...is in essence a loop....each one a bit larger than the other.....so choosing a trip length is basically all one needs to decide upon. In Munising...lodging, restaurants and Taverns are plentiful. Just keep in mind...this area is a heavy tourist area in the summer with the Pictured Rocks national Park within a stones throw....as well as many Lighthouses and Waterfalls in the area. Prolly best to make it a non holiday weekend venture....and of course plan and call ahead for reservations. Whetmore....a small cummunity just to the south of Munising (about 4 or 5 miles) boasts a nice unit abundant hotel as well as numerous cottage and cabin rentals...a Holiday station and fuel up store....theres even a powersports right in Whetmore in case you need parts, accesories or trail info. The owners there are topnotch and treat people very kindly. Whetmore also puts you closer to trail heads and trail access points. A google search of this area will turn up a lot of information on everything mentioned above. Best of luck....wherever you choose to go in Michigans U.P.....I cant wait to see your review.
That all sounds awesome, James! Thank you for all that information! I just added that specific area to our list of "ATV escapes" (a new series we are going to start that covers multiple day getaways. It sounds like an amazing place to ride.
