I Drive a Can Am Maverick R for the First Time; Then Break It! 

Who is surprised? Lol

What a coincidence that the first non-sponsored Turbo R video the car breaks. Get ready for more videos like this. I have touched every bolt on my 2017 xrs which is why I trust it. Yes, everybody builds crap nowadays. The people who design cars are a little brighter than the ones who assemble them.

Note to self. Nut and bolt check your new car. Lol

Not uncommon anymore for there to be loose fasteners on brand new ohv's . Ive found a few over the years on friends new sxs's . I recommend everyone bolts check your new rig .

That’s a really bad sign. Radius rod looked mighty thin. Sad. Didn’t beat on it at alll not even a real world test. 😒

I am not a Cam-am guy but after watching the Mavrick R on the short track it look like it handled great. It was Great meeting you there. keep up the good work

He got to one befor sxsblog dang Rich rules baby

There is no worse feeling than breaking someone else’s machine even if it’s your fault or not… trust me I’ve been there before

See that's exactly why i am a Whalen speed customer for life 👍😁

I picked up my new x3 a couple months ago, highly disappointed in the build quality and lack of care, loose bolts nuts and rivits sitting in damn near every crevasse, found multiple loose bolts and t30’s. No crush washers on either drain plug. Nut and bolt everything!

Definitely a warranty issue, don’t beat yourself up about that! The dealer needs to pull the wheels and tires and go over every nut and bolt on these things. Not the first broken one either with a few people snapping the front lower an arm. Hope you get one soon, still thinking it will be a good machine with the bugs worked out

Nice video I own a pro r 2 seater do you think the drag race would be different comparing apples to apples I mean 2 seat versus 2 seat ? Is the knew can am tapped out on that the 3 cylinder turbo just curious your guys thoughts

Can am need to check quality control???

Well this is first broke maverick r I’ve seen so far 😂😂

Nice to see a $40+ machine just falls apart on its own lol

Happy I found your channel. Can Am owes you a test unit.

did the guy with the pro r drive the maverick r cause I have the same one would love to know his thoughts on both

That thing looked fast!

How did Cleetus drive one and not break one and you did. 😂

You weren't even being hard on it thats crazy it broke that easy ....

Top notch build quality

"I thought I heard a pop coming out of woods" yet I kept going til I killed it goul style. 😅

Dealer will probably have to open their mail in order to get part numbers! 😄

Probably no cotter pin from the factory and the nut backed out. Otherwise the car was sure rippin when it broke. Surprised to see the wheels had balancing weights from the factory when you pulled it off

I really want one of these but the lack of quality control continues to be a major issue. Panel gaps I can “deal with” but this is a huge safety issue.

I saw pics of one with a broken front A-Arm. But I'm not sure if it was broke out in the wild. Think it was at the sand show.

QC was on break when that unit came off the line!

Which one is better, the RZR pro or Mawerick?

Very fitting. Lol is it the DCT that clunks the whole time? Yes before it broke, on decel especially.

What happend to sxs blog ?

Rich rules the land the sea and the racetrack baby !

That front suspension looks so Funny im really surprised they went with that.

Rich rules finally representing Whalen speed !!!

The way the new front end is designed it feels like it's floating when you're driving it you almost forget to steer

quality build Can am.. lol some one forgot the locktite

I had the same thing on my then new 2015 Polaris RZR1000XP with a finger tight nyloc nut on the front pivot bolt of the rear trailing arm & a generally poor finish on my new 2021 Can-am Maverick X3 Turbo RR with plenty of missing washers & panel bolts on one side. Quality control on assembly in the factory is highly suspect & pre-delivery preparation consists of cut the tie down straps off & pump the tyres up & take the customers money. I check all the nuts and bolts for tightness before I ride anything from new.

Can't believe it's a single sheer radius rod end.. didn't can am learned from the 2017 can am X3... FML.

Just picked up my 2023 Renegade 650 a few weeks ago. I was very disappointed with the overall build quality. loose fasteners every where. found a cross threaded bolt on battery hold down, display was crooked in the mount. All other Can am I've owned were perfect, but its been a few years since I owned a new one and this pissed me off. BTW, every Ski Doo I've owned (I buy a new Xrs every year or 2) has been flawless. Ski Doo are still built in Canada, Can am are built in Mexico, I guess that's the difference.

EPIC.

It’s no secret that can am uses as little material as possible in their machines and build them as cheaply as possible. You basically had to reinforce the entire x3 chassis just to make it usable and reliable. No surprises here. Same “can” just more ham.

Newbie here. Is this typical for canam?

LOL Rich breaks it again. Rich Rules - the first Rule is if it can break - Rich will

You said the steering was so much better. But through the corners without a berm you were turned quite a bit before it would start to turn.

Dude, your lucky 😂

You are know to push machines to the limit. I'd call that a good trial

Rich rules lookin jacked. And as usual ripping way harder then the the sxs boys.

Who ever designed this Is a genius😎

First one to find a weak point,Rich rules!!!

Not the first to break. And that was a QC issue on can ams part. If be getting a free new tire and rod.

You wasn't even beating on it what the heck!?

id say warranty claim for sure lol. No bolt or cotter pin XD

Goid to see you getting back to your roots. You ripping the dunes in a fast can am is why I follow you. I'm not really into boats and Cadillac body swapped chevy trucks. I watch those videos to support you but this video right here is why.... RICH RULES BABYYY 🤘

That says a lot about their Quality Control, there is no way if it was assembly right.That should happen.

Rich rules has entered legendary status. Hopefully that’s just a poor PDI by the dealer.

Has the reason ever been said why you left sxs blog? Are y’all still friends? Speaking terms I for sure thought I would see a get together every once in awhile

When do the 4 seaters come out dammit!!!

My saying if your hand never touched it, don't trust it. Always check them little nuts and bolts even if it's factory

Thing holds up good needs a better driver tho to really put this thing to the test

Definitely not your bad outside of the break nice rig you need to add one to your fleet.

Can't see it being your fault. It looks like the bolt wasn't tighten or cotter pin installed at the factory.

That is definitely a poor mark against the dealer. Someone got paid to PDI the machine, and more time should always be spent when it is a newly released model.

Camera man mouth breathing ASMR 🎶😎

See I didn't like the way the front end makes it feel it makes you feel like it's floating and steering itself what do you think Rick

I'm very satisfied with my entry level '23 X3 DS for half the price of the R model.

Why aren’t you with the SXSBLOG guys anymore?

Can ams fault. You didnt even beat on it! My 22 outlander had missing grease zerks and loose drive shaft bolts from factory!! Come on can am grow up!!

What a hunk of junk. Rocks and logs are going to be a nightmare for this suspension front and rear!

Factory recall? 🤔

I'd buy some rr stickers

Still wish we knew why you and the sxsblog guys parted ways, the channel isnt the same without you

Its like it never went through a Quality Control check and I bet the nut wasnt even tight...or maybe it was never even on there because it should've had a cotter pin through it...

Bolt check before every ride

Can-Am Q.C. strikes again.

Richrules baby!

With my words... I own and handle here in germany a brandnew MAVERICK XRS MAX TURBO RR and every time I found any issue's and quality problems.... But in fact the "R" - Version costs here in germany 60k!!!! 60k's for problems and poor quality check and so on, that's not acceptable!

Learning experience obviously any owner of a new or used machine should go nuts to bolt and not trust that quality control was 100%.

Good machine lmao

At lease it wasn't an axle

The hood won't stay on right??

Those arms need to be matte black/dark grey

What a bummer 😕. Shit happens though.

we'll you really wern't driving it hard so i would say it's the dealers falt or the factory's falt the bolt came off.

It's obvious it was assembly problems at the dealer

Warranty repair. Lack of QC.

Definitely not any driver’s fault. The dealer or factory is likely to blame.

Look at this dude. Lol. Come on

The dealership that you got it from or Wayland speed got it from I should say needs to warranty that s*** and call the dealership on it be like what the fuc

Looks and acts like a boat anchor

Weak radius rods on a Can Am ?Never heard of it .

Latest news, assembly employee fired from can am Monday morning.😊

Don't sneeze on it you might bend something

I live more my x3 Xmr 2022

I still have no idea why they split and I need to know. They don’t even talk to each other or feature in videos together snd I just need to know what happened that was so bad it warrants that behavior

Hmm, weird…. Wouldn’t be like can am to not tighten the hardware properly….

Someone that actually knows to keep his thumbs out of the steering wheel spokes, good on ya!

Then why pay 45k for this quality

Flashback to donuts on the razor

Looks like you found her weakness, that canam dropped the ball on. Looks like it needs a stronger part

100% not on you. Love the X3’s, but you do have to put a wrench on everything before anything else. Sucks for the cost.

The wind is why I'm here. 10-10 #richrulesbaby
