Brand new razr, two days old and he rolled it.

He had ridden at busco for 5 years on quads, they just bought the razr to drive the kids around.

He said he was only doing what he done hundreds of time on his quad.

He said the thought it was overpowered (is there such a thing) but the width was too narrow.

He was going to add 6 inch spacers 1st then if need be a longer A arm.

I notice that unlike buggies the front and rear tires are the same width apart

Razr was not banged up, if you saw it go by you probaly would not notice it, but when you walked up you could see the dents cracks...

He was sore as well.

For the cost of the rzr and then the cost of the mods needed to make it stable, you could buy a sweet buggy that would skunk the rzr

Very true. Can you imagine what 10-13k worth of buggy would do?

Shoot thats just the rzr :shock: Let alone the upgrades you would do. You could by a roller chassie and put a heck of a buggy together with that kinda money

Do-nuts i bet...big no-no on a stock-width Rzr. The "S" model is 10" wider (60"), has way better shocks, no front sway bar and is much more stable. Well worth the extra $2500 if you don't need to fit on 50" trails.

Glad no one was hurt. What days were you out there?

last saturday the 25th, they had 4 wheeler races..

this guy had a stock 800c 4 wheeler that he screwed tap screw type nuts into the treads, he came in 3rd considering some of the modified 4 wheelers they had there.

It was fun.

plan on going back tomorrow, 31st, but we have had heavy rains...but busco is a lot of sand so the trails will just be extra muddy.

ALMOST been over twice in my RZR. Both times trying a donut and a slide to the right. Might be able to do it in a left turn w/ my weight to hold it down. Like Guy said, better not to try.

I've had my RZR LE for more than a month now and just did my first donuts the other day. It turns tighter than any of my buggies and has a lot more power. It didn't feel like it would roll, but than again neither did my buggies when they rolled over.

It doesn't matter what you're driving, you've got to learn the limitations they have before you push them to their extremes.

I can do a lot more stuff on a MX bike than I can on a quad and a lot more on a quad than I can in a buggy. Just because they ride in the same terrain doesn't mean they're the same machines.

I'm not a fan of donuts...rolled every buggy on its side doing them. I have done a little powersliding with the rzr, but that's about it. I haven't really had any stability issues, but I'm also not turning on the button. I would have loved the 60" with the s model, but just don't like that kind of width for trails....
