Hi All,

I am considering acquiring a used 2018 Textron Stampede, with about 600 hours, but need a little advice.  The person selling it is asking $8400.  The engine and transmission seem fine but it needs a bushing replaced and new rear door latch sets.  Any idea what the the stated repairs might cost.  Just looking for ballpark guesses.  I'd do the work myself but I'm partially disabled, so a bit limited.  My home borders on BLM land in northern Nevada, so a sxs 4 seater is kind of a must have. for visiting family and friends.

 

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi, not familiar with the brand but speaking from someone who bought a Chinese knock off of one of the major brands just make sure parts are available and will continue to be available. 

In hindsight I would have rather paid the extra money to buy a name brand, Polaris, Yamaha etc as parts are much easier to come by as well as service manuals and aftermarket items. 

One last thought, take a look to find out if there is a good support group out there for that brand. I found one for mine at that has been a life saver. I found mine on facebook groups.

      Heater used in 2024 Axis 750 (Firestorm?)
      By Brent C
      Hi all, I own two Axis UTV's. Last year I purchased a 2022 Axis 500. I had a mechanical issue with the shifting forks after only 50 miles. I contacted Axis/Hisun warranty dept. That were very helpful and willing to send out a representative to see if it was a warranty issue that fell under coverage.  Since I live in an area that does not have authorized repair facility within 300 miles. A really nice guy drove all the way from West Virginia which was 4 hours away. He determined that the console would not stay seated in position and while driving it, the console would jump forward and knock it into the wrong gear causing the shift forks to become bent. It was then picked up a few weeks latter to be repaired in Richmond, Virginia. It should arrive home soon.
      Now to my question. After the 2022 Axis 500 was taken for repairs, I bought the 2024 550 Axis. I bought the first one to take my son who is disabled from an extremely rare disorder that requires daily care to get out of the house. There are two things that give him joy, music and going for rides.  That is why I purchased the first one, However because it had bucket seats and the engine was between the two and was too loud even though I deaden the sound and put a quiet muffler on it. 
      I then decided to purchase the Axis 550 for the great updated features and the bench seat, I will be buying the complete enclosure ad on's offered by Hisun. Since it does not come with a heater (Axis 750 does) I was wondering if anyone knows what heater is part of the 750 edition. There was a photo that showed a Firestorm brand, however I can not find what variation it is. If anyone knows what a Inferno heater would be correct for the Axis 550. I would like to install it this Winter to take Justin riding on the farm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Brent

      Thanks for the add.  I'm looking for ideas for a hard cab enclosure. I sure don't like the soft sides and zippered window.

      Coleman UT400 won't rev. Idles fine
      By Will Sutton
      I've got a 2023 UT400 (bought from tractor supply) and I've been beating my head against a wall with it.
      It will start and idle perfectly. The second I touch the throttle it sputters and dies.
      I've checked that the fuel pump is working  (it is).
      I've replaced the injector, throttle position sensor, O2 sensor, and intake air sensor. All with no change.
       
      I've just taken a look a the schematic, and there is a crank position sensor as well.

      Could this be the source of my troubles? If so, where is this thing located? I can't seem to find it on any drawings from the parts suppliers.
