First day of riding and no problems. Really easy ridding, only one hill was a little challenge. We rode the area Northwest of Quartzsite. All rock & dirt. Trooper operated GREAT!

After two days of off-roading and one day of walking the Vendor tents, we are on our way to Rocky Point, MX. Not a problem with the Trooper and performance has been excellent. A big plus is I was able to purchase a 3/4" drive & socket set from one of the Vendor tents. Now I can get the Hub nut off & I really needed it for the truck to get the wheel nuts off in case of a flat. I have always carried a 1/2" and a two foot length of pipe, The right tool for the job is better.

Quartzsite, trying to be nice we will never be back. Enough said!

I bought my 3/4" socket set years ago for about $20. It was a cheap set from china. Figured at 3/4", wouldn't be tough enough to break it anyway and never could even though I tried a few times. Have a good time at Rocky Point.

When I pulled my rear wheel some time back, I borrowed a set of impact sockets from Checker Auto that had the correct size, they sold them to me and bought them back when I returned them, they were 1/2 drives + breaker bar + 5 feet of aluminum pipe = tight.

Climbed Competition Hill with ease. No front locker engaged and I will try today in 2wd & without rear locker. We will take pics today, maybe a video, but will not be able to load until we get home. The Wifi connection is too slow here. Ran some HUGE sand berms & smaller sand hills in 2wd & no lockers. Only going to be 70 degrees today, LOL! We sure are at the correct location at the right time. Last day as we load later afternoon and head home in the morning. We almost decide to extend and take the new coastal road from Rocky Point to El Golfo but need to return home for honeydew's.

Everything is loaded for the trip home.

Went back to competition hill today to see just how far I could push the Trooper. Pushing pretty close to the max, I climb the face of the hill in 2wd, no lockers engaged. I was able to climb anything with 4wd & lockers except one cliff section, just ran out of power.

But on the plus side I took my dirt bike over, Honda CRF450X, and climb everything including the cliff in 3rd & 4th gear. Man does that thing fly!

We took some still pics but ran out of battery for any video.

Seafood dinner in town tonight and end of the fun.

Gosh CRF 450, I rode one of those and they are unbeleiveable for power. I comparied it the the 750 Triumph I use to hillclime running nitro methane. You may be getting a little too old for that but guess you havn't figured that out yet. I guess I havn't either, just bought a yamaha banshee, about the same, just hang on. Takes a bit to get confortable with the power and after you are, there just dangerous at our age. :lol::lol:

Two of my favorite sayings is " If you are not living on the edge, YOU are taking up too much room!" and Mark Twain's, " You won't be sorry for the thing you did, but the thing you didn't do!" (abbreviated) Run Banshee run! I call them backup toys.

I agree. The old saying of reliving your childhood is true and fun and crazy and well, the best times of your life is when your a kid and retired. Have a save trip back.

Posted 8 pics in my gallery. Not much action as we were already on top of the hill in the last pics. Rocky Point while fun wasn't that challenging. Will not take the toys back to Rocky Point, better riding at home.

Home without any problems!

I noticed your muffler,what advantages with it over the stock? Thanks,

Posted

The muffler is added to the existing stock exhaust system. The stock system was to loud. Notice on the end of the muffler is a spark arrester, want no problems with Forest Service. Performance did not change, better or worse - it is the same.

How would I go about getting one? Thanks,

Spark Arrester I purchased off of Ebay, it was for a VW.

Muffler is a CherryBomb quiet muffler. Can be purchased at major parts house or muffler shop. Same for the 90 degree sweep tubing, clamps & hanger.

Sorry but another question.What did you do about the sensor that was in the stock muffler?

Thanks,

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      When I am driving at 30 to 40 mph on the highway, the display will change from H (high) to R (reverse).  It does not actually shift into reverse, it seems to shift into neutral and starts losing speed and the gas pedal has no effect.  After the rpm/speed drops for 5 seconds or so, it changes back to H and runs fine for another minute or so.  You have to try to drive it at less than 5000 rpm or so, to try and keep this from happening.  Any ideas on what the problem might be?  It only happens at the higher speeds.

      Hi everyone
      Recently purchased a 2020 T-Boss 410 in what appears to be good condition
      First time with this machine – I also have a diesel Kawasaki Mule which so far seems a better machine
      It didn’t start and idle well particularly from cold when I got it and sudden take off ( now solved with new clutch parts ) was all or nothing !
      I have replaced the idle valve, throttle position sensor, had the injector professionally checked ( ok) and also the pressure sensor this is a fuel injection engine, also plug and lead etc!
      It still doesn’t run well and when starting I have to hold revs for a while as it wont idle but stall, thereafter its better and I have rebooted the ecu which has improved it
      When I go to start it clicks as if there is a hydraulic lock and wont return after two or three attempts it then does turn over and start bit I need to give it a bit of throttle to start – is this normal ?
      Is there adjustment for the air idle valve ?
      The engine seems rough and with vibration compared to other engines I have been used to but some say this is normal?
      I haven’t changed the Lambda sensor yet, anyone know how much difference this might make ( I have a new Bosch universal to fit )
      Any advice very much appreciated, thanks

      The Ultra Bee T offers the fastest acceleration of any road-legal electric motorcycle at this price-point, with the flexibility to deal with a wide range of surfaces. With its huge capability the Ultra Bee T will appeal to people looking for a great medium distance commuter, that’s also able to turn its hand to off-road riding and green laning.
       
      Everything works and new!
      We try to capture everything in photos for you.
      If you have any questions or need other photos, just ask, thanks.
