Well it’s been a tough 4 years for me with the 2012 wildcat. Not knowing much about UTVs my wife liked the wildcat. So we bought it.. I fell in love with the suspension an the ride at Dumont,ca, I became an addict! So here came the upgrades. More power I needed, AC didn’t do there proper testing of the product so here came not only up grades but the repairs. Constant failure of rear end gearbox bearings, bent A-Arms, sand in the airbox. I chipped the wildcat and put the Rod thru the block… Ya AC warrantied it. I was lucky. Finally I got smart an put the STM dry clutch conversion in it, re fabricated the front A-Arms, added a custom air filter for sand dunes, and fixed the profusive oil leak that 3 visits to the dealer would not fix correctly. When you want it done right you just have to do it yourself… So after 4 years last week I visited Oceano dunes and my cat ran like a dream… Finally after 4 years.. No bending A-arms, no oil leak, an plenty of power for Oceano. The only 1 problem is left .. Reliability! Once I go to Dumont after 2-3 trips I’ll be replacing more bearings, possible fuel pump or starter, or maybe a cv joint. So I decided to make the switch. 2016 Rzr Turbo! The first run I took on this unit was a shocker for me. The powerband and torque could almost be double of my wildcat. Wow! Dumont, Ca will be the true test for the Turbo. Let’s see how it does. October is not far away. Keep you posted.
