POUNDING WHOOPS AND BEATING ON THE EL JEFE | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

[@kevinp2820]

😮 The suspension geometry is awesome~come on that thing is a trophy truck in disguise!

[@itruck96]

Didn't Bob say the tires wouldn't slide out on large whoops like the Rzr and Can am?

[@neilcrane3408]

Ok ,now I am impressed. That section is super rough when you cruised through it. Most cars if not all cars would not handle the rough like that stock.. this is the video i have ben waiting for. Thanks for the honest content. Cant wait for speed key shoot out..

[@MikeMiller-ov3du]

Mark because I am lazy and did not want to go back and see did you get the higher hp or is it just the 200 hp

[@vintagetrikesandquads4012]

When I do get a SXS--still riding quads and motorcycles--the Speed will definitely be on my list, one of their 2-seaters though.

[@MiK3Y13]

Awesome stuff! Wish he had a 64 car for east coast!

[@nathanstaab]

Love the updates and the shots.. El Jefe #201 sitting over here patiently waiting!

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Congrats… looks like we will see hundreds running around this October 💪🏻

[@nathanstaab]

@@ChupacabraOffroad Unfortunately, no longer in AZ - so October is the season wind down in Michigan.. I might have to move towards warmer weather to get the break in miles done on this thing.. we'll see.

[@jasongreene414]

I agree with you mine handles some of the roughest sections with ease even my buddy whos pro rzr was impressed with the ride.

[@nwhuckin7761]

Sweet. If I lived closer to the desert I’d probably buy one

[@andybloedel1077]

Great videos Nick. I really like the real time videos of the car… shows how fast your going 🤙

[@dskofich]

thanks for the update

[@Futuristix.]

Sick rig! Excited to see what you do with it. Quick note: When you say "Beating on The El Jefe", you're saying "Beating on The The Boss". 😂

[@KuschallRacing]

super presentation...like allways

[@darrenvohs]

Good stuff! Love seeing one in the wild being wild!

[@rossvesci1706]

Where you riding at Nick nice speed Utv

[@brianwills4398]

Dang it.. your making me regret not getting one.. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one. I went a completely different route.

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

It’s a really good car!

[@richardrawlings181]

Torn. Bought a Pro R 4 Ultimate waiting for my Jefe RG. Cant lie love the R. Low 200s Ill take delivery and ones going bye bye

[@TheSatterleeTeam]

After a hard run, I wonder if the belt is heat soaking when it sits for a moment. May need a cooling fan running while it is sitting in between runs when it’s not given a chance to fully cool off.

[@ericlessard5021]

I feel like an aluminum belt cover is nt that good for heat dissipation. And the best clutch fan system in my opinion is the one on the krx. A fan on the primary only with the exhaust on top of the primary.

[@Kevins-offroading.]

Awesome, love your videos.

[@travisfaust3832]

Do you have the speed key? Are you running it at 300hp

[@allmotorhash]

Soon

[@carlosvaldivia2985]

Let me know how long it takes to get a factory belt from Speed..

[@bretstephensen8821]

It would be interesting to know what the scrub radius is on the front of the car. Maybe Shock Therapy will get a hold of a Speed UTV and cycle the front suspension and measure the scrub radius. The rear suspension has minimal scrub radius compared to the front suspension as one can see in the video. Great coverage on the Speed UTV.

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Robby already covered it, it’s 3”, about 9-10” less than a pro r

[@skater506]

looks like a ton of bump steer in those whoops. thought it wasn't supposed to have any?

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

instagram.com/reel/CssHKcTuWPl/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Watch this and then watch my video again 😂

[@mattobrien2511]

😅

[@skater506]

@@ChupacabraOffroad wow huge difference, thanks

[@ahmadalyaqoobi7230]

I'm wondering how does it compare with the current king of UTVs the Pro R

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Stay tuned 😎

[@____MC____]

Do you think moab had a lot to do with the belt breaking?

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Hard to say, more so flogging it in the sand, not crawling. Didn’t feel any slippage… hard to tell honestly

[@____MC____]

@@ChupacabraOffroad the only other thing i can think of is poor clutch alignment from the updated transmission for a belt to go that soon.

[@Offroadaddicts]

Why do the front wheels wobble like that

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

[@timleonard9762]

At the end I was saying “no no! already over?” 😂

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

😂 thank you

[@eddiesanchez3986]

How many miles did the car have when the belt blew?

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

330ish

[@snoop8093]

Just curious, do you know what the weight of the car is with all the accessories you have done to it?

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

No I haven’t weighed it yet

[@paulhunt1643]

Maybe it's just weird shadows or camera angles but it looks like the stickers are coming off on the edges.

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Some are and they are replacing them As well

[@richardpage754]

You might want to look at the Full Throttle suspension tuner comparison video. It is very telling watching the Speed and the X3 front end working. Can you do a side by side comparison of the suspension working on the same trail?

[@cdico1062]

Looks like the rear suspension is bucking pretty bad…Is there any rebound adjustment in the rear to help the issue? Thanks for the content

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Didn’t look or feel that way to me. Yes I have clicker adjustments I haven’t even played with yet … new spring kit coming soon

[@daveanderson8298]

Love the video. If you happen to take it back to Havasu could you please ask them to fix the SPEED sticker on the driver side. The second E does not line up. Would drive me crazy. 😅

[@JeremyLynnes]

Thanks for the Speed content Nick. I'm finally getting excited seeing so much get fixed. Edit: Adjust rebound to stop bucking in the whoops.

[@Chingon1west]

Can I come to Arizona and you give me a ride I’ll buy you a free belt. Diablo MA 3300ish

[@judgehastheword9069]

There is a few things I don't like # 1 is the vinyl letters are not even straight if you look at where the front door meets the back door they are not lined up at all. I seen that on a lot of them when they was shipped over to the US. # 2 the rear axle there is no upper support at the back. Only has the lower arm. An the price is outrageous. Its as bad as the New Polaris Xpedition a New 2 door cost 50K+. There right there with the Speed UTV. I will stay with my Can-Am x3.

[@katkinsDLV]

The new pics I've seen of the cars ready to ship have the letters straight now. And that rear suspension is so much better and stronger being built this way. The geometry of the Speed suspension cycling is night and day better than the alternative.

[@techs1smh13]

Take a look at a class 1,5 off road race car. Rear suspension is identical

[@pike1971]

Blew a belt in the first 100 miles…yikes. That doesn’t exactly scream reliability now does it.

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

330 miles to be accurate…

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

While this is not Nick's personal car, he did blow a belt during another video.....not sure how many miles were on that belt.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCZn36irpiUkM0 47:18 The reality is, no mfg is going to have a production car without issues, regardless of the hype around it.

[@pike1971]

Appreciate the clarification, but 330 miles isn’t much better.

[@techs1smh13]

Would have loved to see a sequential type trans, belt is always weakest link especially big hp ,tires

[@douglowenthal1320]

That's an ugly car sounds like my chain saw

[@Suomyice]

For the price of this thing, you would have thought they would fit it with something more exciting engine wise!

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

@@Suomyice you do know for a $1 up charge I have a Speed key that will unlock 300hp, don’t you? Doesn’t get more exciting than that for a factory option at this point in time… stay tuned

[@Suomyice]

@@ChupacabraOffroad Thank you for that info. I got to admit, I didn't know of that special key that unlocks as much as 300hp from it's 2cyl engine. Very impressive power ( But requires E85 I notice when I looked and that is really not a realistic fuel to use on the trail.and also the fuel consumption is 30-40% more. So the tank will not last for many miles.) But although it's engine can produce the horsepower , to me a 3 cyl engine sounds just so much better then a 2cyl. So I feel it was a fail on Robby's part to not at least go with a 3 cyl powerplant.
