Very cool! Innovation and building from scratch...outstanding.

 

How’s the feel and bump steer at speed?

Did you lose any steering angle compared to a stock setup? I’m not used to seeing a 900 at full lock, but it looks like it might have lost a few degrees maybe?

 

Hey, it takes a lot of the steering feedback out, ruts/roots /rocks wont really jar the steering wheel much, it does have an internal pressure relief valve so it wont crush your tie rods if it encounters an non-movable object.
Steering angle is the same as factory, I kept the ram the exact same length and stroke as the oem rack, also have it mounted in the exact same spot as the oem rack so all the steering geometry is identical to the factory setup.... I hate bump steer so made sure it was spot on.

Thanks for the kind comments

 

This requires ,,,?&?

 

I'm impressed!!!?

 

Curious of price/parts list

 

Hey Chanz, we just about have the 2.0 setup done for the XP Pro, Turbo S and RS1 and will be building a setup for the XP/T and Ranger XP next. I have a prototype set going down to my friend in Utah for testing at Sand hollow on a custom stretched RS1 on 37's that will have hydro rear steer as well.... should be a beast.

Still working on the cost, the custom parts are expensive but get better with volume so we will do our best to keep it affordable

 

This would be a game changer for disabled riders with the one turn lock to lock. Please keep us informed on your progress.

 

Will do , my arms are not in great shape either thats one of the reasons I built this setup... and I love big tires

 

Got a question regarding the Hydro Steer.

I have built my xp1000 up with Portal and 35's and it is too hard to steer now. The factory & E-Power steering units did not work with my set-up.

Would you be able to help me out with a much need Hydro Steer unit. I am unable to find any info regarding manufactures or part components.

Thanks Again,

Captain Dave

I have to say that is really cool. Does the setup add a lot of weight? Also, does the steering wheel stay perfectly centered with the wheels straight?

 

With full hydraulic steering the steering wheel will not stay centered. I have a quick disconnect and recenter the wheel as needed.

 

Well look at that, hydro steering and someone is actually considering an rs1! (Same as turbo S)
Might just be the thing since sandcraft so far dont want to work w me on a kit for the stabilizer, kit is $800 ish, half my way to hydro steering at this rate.
Def have to follow this one.

Yup, Joe nailed it's def a game changer the steering power is effortless even with monster sized tires, I will only be running heavy 35's but we will be testing it with liquid filled 37 or 40's so looking forward to see how it handles that down in Sand Hollow.

Metro, it weights probably 25-30 pounds in total so not that heavy over stock, You will have to re-centre the wheel or just use a steering wheel that works / comfortable in any position, as long as you don't keep turning the steering wheel when the ram reaches its max stroke the steering wheel stays relatively centred.... it does not take long to get used too.

SSG, the XP Pro, RS1 and Turbo S will all use the same sized ram and ram mount so it works out well for all the units with the larger front diff.

I have 5 guys fully committed and ready to buy when it’s ready. We all have XP’s and turbo s on portals and this should be the answer to our problems. My number is (970) 371-0053 please keep me informed as it gets closer to availability

 

Yeah i am in middle of stretching, portals and larger tires right now. Trying to address steering and called sandcraft, they wont sell a turbo S body with xp1k tie rods “bc its an rs1” and so ill take my money else where to find a solution. This is def a strong candidate now that ive seen joes machine in person and then he switched to hydro.

edit 1: thats curious the pro xp would ise the same, ill have to research PNs etc and maybe open up more doors for rs1’s. Amazing the rs1 comes out with something and its transplanted to newer models but no support for the rs1. If theyd just make a turbo model, youd see all the companies come crawling back and be waay behind the 8 ball.

You realize it would be super simple, and relatively inexpensive to just have a machine make custom tie rods for you right?

Yes I do, and im fairly confident in my fab abilities. I just dont like to reinvent the wheel or spend that many man hrs when its already been done.
i did consider just ordering the turbo S setups and then i can cut down the tie rods.

 

How much does this setup strain the electrical system? Do you need a bigger stator or dual batteries?

 

SSG, you could try a set of XP Pro tie rods since their both 64" machines should get you pretty close.

Crash City, its pretty good, it only draws 6 amps or so during normal use but can draw a lot more if you hit the pressure relief or a un-movaable object but is a only a quick spike. Ive ran it off a single battery for a season and it performed perfect but I usually run two batteries 1st one for starting / steering and the second for lights and all other accesories

 

So, looked up the xp pro parts on polaris and its a no go. Although, they do list the individual parts for inner and outter tie rods.
Looked up sandcraft site, no pro xp setup as of yet but its the pro xp so of course its being figured out.
Ill probly do the hydro steer in the other thread at this rate. Back up would be turbo s kit and cut down/modify tie rods

SSG I know these will fit a RS1 rack, both racks are 16mm, Ive tried my stock xp pro ties rods in a RS1 rack and they fit
2020-2021 POLARIS RZR PRO XP

I ordered up a set of the stage 2 Death Grip ties rods from these guys will be here wed .... should work well with the hydro setup

 

So i may have a dea worked out w another member that imma order the turbo S and we will swap tie rods. Then it will be on to the moment of truth for bolting it all up.

 

What exactly is the difference between the 2017+ XPT and ProXP? They both have 16mm inner tie rod threads.

 

Tie-rods are easy to make if you need a custom setup

 

Here's a couple pics of the prototype ram for the Pro XP, I think it turned out well. All the brackets will be water jetted once we confirm a good fit and function but so far bolts right in no cutting or welding required.

 

Looks good! Excited to see the finished product.

 

Awesome looking. Come on XPT version! Lol

 

Thanks Joe and Crash, we are going to get the XP/T setup going on next. It should take less time since some of the parts are the same as my 900S which we have the brackets for already.

Here's a question for the XP1000 guys stick with the 14mm size tie rods or switch up to the turbo size 16mm tie rods? I'm thinking most would want to run the larger 16mm... let me know

 

Definitely go with the bigger stuff.
