The front end suspension is super weak. You saw the SXS Blog guys had ball joint issues too when Sous jumped his and I've seen a lot of others too with the same issue. Bummer to see and glad yall got taken care of. Keep up the good work.

No way that’s your fault. Look at where Lauren lands in the rs1 vs where you were. I bet you landed the ball joint went and that’s why it felt like you cased it so bad. And then goin back uphill right after all the shock can do is keep compressing till it was all the way bottomed out and focusing the stress at a week point of a shaft that isn’t designed for large amounts horizontal stress.

I was going to go buy a Pro R this afternoon till I saw this video, I am not going to go spend the big money right now for a 4 seat pro R untill they get this figured out. I can certainly wait as I dont need issues like that on a car that is heavier than your 2 seat. I hope that was covered by polaris., I have seen now 5 of rgese cars have this happen including the factory backed Pro R of Wayne Marlock. I feel they rushed to get this car to fast. Uniballs and 4130 pins would make so much more sense. Lauren you are doing great in your RS1, love mine as well as my 18 4 seat turbo. This is the 2nd time I have watched you and will watch more Be safe.

@louisrobbins475 2 жыл бұрын

I've had my Polaris Pro R since Feb of this year. I have it on 40" Trepadors and have 1200 miles on it. I live in Tennessee next to TWRA trails and those miles are mostly Windrock, Royal Blue, Brimstone and Tackett Creek. I have hit black Diamond, Double Blacks in Windrock (Not Gate Keeper yet) and have had no issue. I am beginning to think Polaris rushed delivery on some parts and they are not to spec while some are. That said to be sure I am ordering some Keller ball joints.

These manufactures (not just Polaris) are notorious for putting inexpensive/substandard parts on these vehicles. It's like going to a big box store and buying a mountain bike and then finding a tiny sticker on it that says, "not for off-road use". It's a shame when a simple part fails, causing catastrophic damage. There is no excuse for a 35+ thousand dollar machine to have substandard parts. When quality takes a backseat to profit margin, this is what you get. If Speed UTV can make a vehicle with race engineered quality, that's in the same price range, there's no reason these huge manufacturers can't do the same. Having said that, I know that when you are doing extreme, off-road riding, breakages are expected.
