So I'm putting this out there..... I just did a bunch if wrk on a 4x4 truck and the steering was hiem joints! Any reason why it couldn't be fond on the trooper or why it shouldn't be seems like it would be a good upgrade

I don't see any reason why a good heims joint wouldn't work fine. In my opinion, any quality joint would work good provided its sealed from the dirt getting to the joints sliding surfaces. Most heims joints are not sealed and that would concern me. When I redid my A-frame heims joints, I put sealing boots around them to hold the greese in and the dirt out. Dispite heavy abuse, they are just as tight as when I installed them about 1500 miles ago. To assure their reliability, I went to a somewhat larger joint while I was at it.

GOOD Heims are the way to go.....I had them on my mud truck and they last and endure a lot of abuse over tie rods...I think heims are not street legal though. If you are going to reconstruct your joyner steering it would be the way to go....

      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.

      I saw that Intimidator is offering a $7k rebate on all their UTVs. This looks like an amazing deal. Are their UTVs any good? I looked through the forums and there appears to have been some problems in the 21-23 timeframe? Does anyone know why in the world they would be offering such a steep discount?

      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. 
                                    Thank You,

      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!
