ooh ooh ooh ooh, I'm know but I'll wait to see what Lenny says, or 12 hours, which ever happens first. :rolleyes::blink:

Hint, it will be included with the Electric Power Assist when we get it to market.

Time's up,

Lenny makes this and sells it on ebay, I have it on my rig now as part of our EPA Steering unit (Electrical Power Assist). I tried a few other methods like shimming and Teflon between the cap and rack which worked sort of, but this thing works good! If you ever sit in front of your trooper and have some one rock the steering wheel back and forth, you'll see that the ends of the rack move up and down wheck creates a fair amount of slop in the linkage. The other problem with stock is the steel rack sliding against the aluminum cap. No amount of grease can prevent the galling the happens, Lenny's devise has a smooth steel surface for the rack to slide against. I don't have very many miles on mine yet, but I like it.

Wow, we should be warned. I would not bad mouth any of Lenny's stuff. I am just frugal.

Thanks Kinarfi and Brostar. That's OK Rocmoc, no offense taken. We're just getting too old and remember when you could get a coke at a machine for $.05. Remember, you had to move the bottle through a maze of back and forth slots to get it out. Compaired to what we paid for things back in those days it seems like everything is priced outrageous. When I was in the wrought iron business, I was 19, I was paying $6.25/100# for my !/2" square solid HR bar. That's $125 a ton mind you. About 2 years ago, I built wrought inon railings to go around my yard and the steel cost about $2200.00. I don't think I used 17.6 tons of steel to do the job. More like about a ton. Hum, I might be selling this thing too cheap.

Lenny, did you know after you got thu the maze to the flipper, if you pulled real hard on the bottle would come out for free. 5 cents was a lot of money!

Why would anyone want to spend 5 cents on a coke when you could go to the hardware store and get a pound of spikes for 17 cents. For us, we would go out in the woods and work all day on out treehouse. Good thing we never finished it because the whole cabin was going to be built out of logs. It was to be perched about 30 feet up and about 12 feet out on a 7" diameter lim. I'm just amaized I didn't get killed when I was young. I'll tell you about our canoe trip across Lake Michigan another time. Being impatient we went in April. Fortunately got saved by Coast Guard. We would have died.

How did we get here from steering loosness stuff?

      Has anyone found a lift kit that fits an Axis 500? Mine is a 2021.

      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.
