NEW PRODUCT RELEASE PREVIEW - TIE RODS and LIMIT STRAPS (Shock Therapy Live 9/16)

[@outthedoorlife]

Do you have therapy for a Can Am Defender Limited? Not something you folks are into perhaps but there is a market for it I believe. Like to make it more capable than as a utility UTV ride.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

We don’t but it’s on our list to do. If your close to us maybe we could use yours to perfect it. If your into that let us know. All the work would be free for you. Email [e-mail] to set it up. Thank you.

[@outthedoorlife]

@@ShockTherapyllc Not remotely close but I would volunteer if I were. This level of UTV is a rapidly growing market as population ages across North America. We like our comfort. Folks like me aren't riding fast but we do some technical riding and plenty of rail bed, back road riding as well as wood trails. Stability, clearance, etc are important as well as comfort. Thanks for the response. I enjoy your videos.

Is it possible to convert the belt drive to chain drive? If so, what are the pros and cons?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

You could do that for sure. But, you would loose your Gearing or transmission shift ability. Basically you would be stuck in high gear. There are metal CVT belt systems in street cars but they are not strong enough for off road shock loads and they don't like to slip much. If they do the heat tears them apart. Belts also act like a torque converter or a cushion in your drive train. If you made it more solid you would just break other things in the system under shock loads like axles or the gear box. Build those stronger and bigger the UTV weighs more, and the weight tears up more parts like hub bearings and frame mounts. Stronger parts cost more and the UTV would get to $40k pretty quick. It is a nasty domino affect that will bring you right back to the belt system being the best for the buck and weight. There is nothing wrong with the belt. As long as the clutch is tuned properly. This is the key. Belts don't break on their own. They fail due to heat. Heat is developed from power, weight over time. If the system is tuned correctly it won't develop too much heat and you will never have a failure. For instance, in off road racing, the top ten cars are 100% pinned for 5-10 hours and no belt failures. They all have countless hours in their clutch tunes to accomplish this. If one part is off. Weights too light, spring rate too stiff, helix angle too steep, they would all develop heat and blow belts. 95% of the belt failures I see in the dunes, mud, trail or any play cars are due to clutch tune or a worn out part in a clutch causing the problem. So, make sure your clutch is in perfect working condition and tuned correctly for your needs and you will never have a belt problem.

[@pault8611]

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi guys real good info I like watching your channel can you please tell me dose the left hand tie rod end go frame side or wheel side I am building a mini truck and I am getting ready to make my tie rods.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Thank you. It does not matter. We just like them to be the same left or right side but that’s just our OCD. No other reason.

[@jeremybradley774]

Who makes the spring compressor you guys use???

[@rodneywittenberg1682]

Ok in December 2020 I watched an episode and you said, if you can guess what this is I’ll send you a hoodie. I was pretty dang close. I guessed “it’s a clamp for an electric adjustable sway bar kit”. Pretty good if you ask me, only thing I got wrong was the electric part, I just went a little too far out of the box lol. Any way I spent a lot of time trying to find it in the videos because I thought I had gotten it right but couldn’t remember, once I found the comments in my history the video appears to have been changed to private. Maybe guessed to close haha.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

You sound like your close enough for me. Email [e-mail] and give him you info and size. I will get you the Hoodie!

[@mikekenyon3322]

how can ST patent tie rod stud/ bolts when this has been a stock car things for 40-50 years? I've had mine longer ST has been in biz!

[@tylerd6517]

Because your rods didn’t use the same design to tune out bump steer

[@TrainWreck000]

Where is the price list for those new products, and can we pre-order them?

[@Randy_84]

[@TrainWreck000]

Another great video; love the vehicle walk around...that white RZR is the bomb!

[@TrainWreck000]

@RZR Rakkasan I just saw shock therapy video…may have been old… the XP PRO R is running a slingshot motor and trans…belt driven…sequential shifting…awesome…and broke the 1000 cc marker

[@Kingranch1959]

Sand Hallow Honey Badger says, a big Thanks to Samantha and TSS ( Tube Sox Steve ) for all the help!!!!!!

[@mikeschulik8822]

Rear sway bar ABC for XX?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Will not cycle on an XX. Sorry

[@toddwilson7265]

In videos past you said that the polaris cars have up to 4" of bump steer in the rear have you thought about making a kit to rectify this?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Yes. It’s near impossible since it is geometry of the pivot points that’s cause this. The kit would be very complicated and expensive so we are not doing one.

[@drmarkintexas-400]
