Your Can Am Maverick X3 NEEDS THIS 

Them hubs still tight 2 years later...?

Sure are!

Thanks for the comment! You're completely correct regarding the tight fitting of the inserts... When I said "wallow out" I miss spoke, when the actual issue was the drill bit had slipped down inside the drill and not made it all the way through the hub. The bit being used was a 3/4" bit - I did not wallow out the entire hole, but I did rotate the bit a little to pick the burs off the inside of the hole as I poked myself a few times on the other hubs from sharp aluminum sticking off on the bottom side. The inserts did fit very snug, and most of them wouldn't seat all the way in until after we put the bolts / nuts on them and tightened them all the way down.

Yes sir!

WPM BT nice I was kinda think in the same

But did you die?

I thought the whole purpose was to keep the hole from egg shaping then you drilled it that way. And no I didnt die...I drill straight lol

I only did it on the bottom of the 1 hub lol... not the entire hole. The insert was going in. I think it was because the battery on my drill was beat and it wasn't drilling smooth. /shrug

That's the only way to work on a project! I'm not sure how many wobblypops we had - enough lol. Thanks for the support brother!

Thank you brotherman!

Absolutely! Such a simple fix for a huge problem

Thank you for the comment my dude!

Outstanding! It's really exciting to us when we can help our viewers out

That lip was there because the insert wasn't all the way seated. The inserts were the exact size of the holes, so they were difficult to get in some times. We had to run the bolt through the inserts and tighten the nut down to "press" the insert all the way in.

Yes! Fix it before it becomes an issue! Smart

Full Throttle Off Road I have to get a price on the rides and everything

It's going to bring a lot of crazy stuff... some of it's already on the way ;)

Hell ya!! Can’t wait to see

You're up early! Or late?

@@ftorvideo BOTH! Haha 😁 We were on the road heading to Glamis - you know how that goes!!! Happy almost New Year!!! 😊🎉

Hell yes! Did you use our discount code?

@@ftorvideo Couldn't find it. But we did order shirts from you.

Even better! My man! Thank you for the support brotherman

I drive a duramax. So this comment gets a like

Full Throttle Off Road And I drive a Cummins. I’ve lucked out I’ve never had it but I’ve heard some horror stories hahaha

As a owner of a can am and a 18 ram 2500 owner. No offense it taken lol

Thank you my friend!

Welcome to the offroad army brotherman! Thanks for the sub!

Oh, its just startin for ya at 30k! Wait for all the accessories to start rollin in....

Bay Bee Drillll doo doo doo dooo

I kinda moved towards the fetal position when he ran that step bit back and forth in the hub, but then I remembered it’s just a Can-Am...lol J/K

Iam pretty sure there was a lot of cervezas/ crown royal being put down during this job!😜 ( man my arms look good there)lmao

Man this was hard to watch. A machine shop would of charged 30 bucks to put it on a mill and drill that hole and ream it.

@Klaus Van Heusen yeah man I caught that too

👌🤙

I did my best to explain that. I spent a good amount of time googling single vs double shear before this video and non of it is a simple concept to articulate in lamens

@@ftorvideo Yep. totally agree Aaron. Diagrams are a lot easier to understand but mess up sweet sweet videos!

Thanks brother!!

Hah!! We're installing ours this weekend!

Headed to horse falls and Winchester bay this weekend so gotta get mine done !!!

Thanks for the continued support my friend! We look forward to your comments! And absolutely we'll be filming the bulkhead / fan replacement! This weekend I believe. Those tires just looked good on camera, they are bald as can be lol. We'll be getting a new set by spring for sure.

@@ftorvideo I think our rocky trails out here in the west tear them up a bit faster! Thanks for the videos! Always entertaining and edumacational!! Lol!

👌

When operating or working on the CanAm... it's PBR for me!

Check the nut on the back of the toe link bolt. If it's loose, yea... bad time! This will solve it!

@@ftorvideo nice thanks for the heads up

@@ftorvideo I've exploded 3 cvt covers 4 belts worn out 3 carrier bearings and a set of big horns in 1500 miles I ride pretty similar to you gents know I've ordered the badass evolution belt and the razorback temp gauge through the sxsblog gents so after I get these installed I should have an almost bullet proof stock x3. But definitely enjoy the content and keep up the Tom foolery. From lapeer mi

We've greased ours twice this year. The first time it took 17 pumps. It took 12 pumps this time. It's a good idea to do it every few months depending on how much you drive

HAH!! There was an entire joke string in the video (it didnt make the cut) about not having safety glasses on. I'll give you a shout lol

Any day! They are stout! Keep an eye out, and don't forget to use our discount code when you pull the trigger

Are the radius rods adjustable? Perhaps your rear alignment is off?

I'm not sure off the top of my head. But the order is, set the bottom one to be the correct length (very important so you dont drop an axle when jumping). Then set the top one (camber is usually 1 degree negative). Then set the middle one (toe is usually a quarter inch in)

We sell it with free shipping on our website at this point.

Bay Bee Drill Do Do Do Doooo

Lol

What I would do is check the nut on the back of the toe link bolt. If it's loose, you probably have this issue.

An alignment. Running string around the center of the wheels all the way around the unit makes it easy to see and measure alignment adjustments.

@@ftorvideo got a video on this?

Nice!! Its ready for flight!

I was a little disappointed in the dewalt

Here's a link to the TLS kit on their site my dude. And yea, their Radius Rods are still in development. We got a demo set to test out. shocktherapyst.com/accessories/?search_query=&page=2&limit=21&sort=featured&category=14&is_category_page=1

That there good sir was some Chili! It was quite good

@@ftorvideo With a few aluminum shavings, so that's your secret!

It does not. The bit is a stepped bit, so with it all the way in and I lightly rotate it like that - it was only to get the aluminum burrs off the inside edge on the bottom. I poked myself several times with sharp aluminum splinters on the bottom. Ouch.

Keep an eye out! They'll be releasing them shortly!

They need to keep more of the toe links in stock, was going to order oem size and they are on backorder 😞

Warranty covered mine the first time. But since we installed these, we haven't had any problems. Thanks for the sub too!!

@@ftorvideo good to know yea I opted for the platinum warranty as well cuz I not trying to drop a shit load mire money unless its some sweet upgrades. but with it snowing up here in Minnesota soo im desperately waiting for the sun to break it in

I can't say for sure, but I believe the hubs are the same.

For sure man... glad you found it before it came out!

It came out when I was going 50 haha! I ended up shoving a stick in there to get home!

Dang! You need this fix indeed

Oh totally! Shock therapy makes good stuff wish I could afford it right now!

😲

Every unit has aftermarket parts to strengthen OEM weak spots. Happy you found our channel too!

@@ftorvideo , Understandably so, I just want to know how much it's going to cost me in heart ache! Lol love yalls channel!

My first hub was warrantied... buuuut yea

No sir! They make them for stock rods and they work great!

Throttletherapy19

Four!!! Dang! Lol... As far as I know, the hub assembly is the same. I'd get the X3s and put this baby in there and rip

that big of an issue? which is better machine in your opinion. the canam or polaris. Also if I go used instead of new, how much risk am i taking with shit machines. thnaks

It's a big issue that's super easy to fix with this kit. I know dealers that are installing this kit on brand new machines before they even sell them. It makes the rear hubs rock solid! In my personal opinion? I'd choose the X3. Both are stout machines that are super capable... but the X3 just has my heart. Personally, I feel they look nicer - and respond to mods better. The motors respond to tunes better, the suspension responds to tunes better. That being said, you really can't go wrong with either one. These things are like sports cars. You're not going to buy a used M3 or Porsche and not expect it to have been beat on. Just give everything a good look over if you buy used. Make sure all the bolts are tight. Make sure there's no signs of it being rolled. They're pretty durable so as long as they weren't trashed you'd probably be ok.

But not mine! 🤣

Very good point lol

🤣

It does fix the problem of Steel on Aluminum, because the steel goes all the way through the hub - and is not moving. OEM radius rods rest directly on the hub, and the movement of the rod (up and down) can cause the steel from the rod to weaken the aluminum that it's resting on... which can cause the bolt on the other side to loosen. And when it loosens, the bolt starts to wallow out the bolt hole. The steel insert has a shoulder on it, which gives it increased support and prevents any of this moving. As well, the insert has a lip that holds the radius rod in place. Nothing moves, and the nut won't back off the other side. It fixes the damaged hub because you're drilling it out to another size. If the bolt hole is an egg shape from being wallowed out, and you run the step drill through it making it slightly larger... you can then insert the TLS kit into the newly formed hole, making it round again. You can get a TLS kit for any sized radius rod. Admittedly, it is possible to potentially run the drill through at an angle. It's important to do you best not to... but I guess it can happen. The good thing is, the inserts are steel, and they are going into an aluminum hub. So if you put the inserts in and the shoulder isn't flat (because the hole wasn't straight), you can put the bolt through it and the nut on the other side and tighten it down. This will press the insert all the way in and straighten it out.

Cheers to that brother 🍻

Not having a clue of what we're doing is more exciting lol... Unless you know someone that is interested in doing all our wrenching? 🤣

Yes. If you have safety glasses please use them lolol

Merry Christmas!! I hope you have a sloppy but wonderful New Year! Thanks for the comment my friend!

Full Throttle Off Road thank you and absolutely no problem

Omg it gets in your head like a virus

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HwEBPt7d02g.html

It'll getcha man... Death wobble can bite you when you least expect it

That's called the child support wobble.

☝️🤣

Hehe... yea, we've recently realized theres a lot of things we could have done better lol... ah well

The steel inserts go all the way through the hub, they do not sit on top of the hub like the stock OEM radius rod / brackets. As well, the inserts fit inside the radius rod. This is the part which removes the shear, completely. The most complete solution is indeed the hubs, but these inserts will absolutely resolve / repair this problem.

Full Throttle Off Road i might be missing something guys, but the steel bolt applies its force to the aluminum, steel against aluminum bad, so you add the steel inserts, this means the bolt will apply its forces to the inserts, steel against steel, correct? But the inserts will apply the same force to the aluminum again, still steel against aluminum.. sounds like you end up with the same problem but with less aluminum

You're pretty close. If you picture the way it is assembled from OEM, the steel radius rod is mounted directly to the aluminum hub. This is soft, and can start to move.. which causes the bolt to loosen. Once loosened, the bolt starts to apply side pressure against the aluminum hub... causing the hole to get bigger - an death wobble sets in. The insert is steel, and goes all the way through. You're correct when saying the bolt's clamping force is now on the steel, this eliminates the shear. The "shoulder" on the insert expands the overall strength of the assembly. So instead of applying force to the side of the hole where it is the weakest, the shoulder of the insert now applies the force to the top of the hole, as well as the edge. Effectively doubling the strength. So now we've eliminated the sheer, as well as more effectively distributed the force. You are indeed correct - it is a poor design from OEM. Which is why manufacturers are trying to find a way to prolong the life of your hubs. This is a very good option.

Full Throttle Off Road ok, wasn’t considering the inserts has shoulders to distribute this force, makes sense. Thanks for taking the time!!

Anything we can do to help!

MmmmmYeess how interesting

@@ftorvideo lmao

So meaty! 😍

I watched the end of this video like 10 times already lol... we're so dumb. It's great lol

@@ftorvideo I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😎 😎

We need to start including more stuff like that in our videos lol

Yea... I thought about that lol...

Perhaps... They do cost as much as a mid tier car

@@ftorvideo Whomever is selling that thing for $100, should be ashamed of themselves. So, why do I want one? Dagnabbit!!

The same group of people that sell brake pads at $180 for a set! These are priced exactly the same price as the assault bracket

Shoot... I thought they are priced pretty decently lol

🤣
