All UTV's Quickener/rack opinions....

[Seaver]

Hey guys, especially you guys that have been racing these things for a few years..
I wore myself out with steering and all the tight stuff at Havasu.. Im intrested in a quickener, I found one from speedway motors for about $90.. A couple XP guys at WORCS went with this method... What other options ? aftermarket rack? Not intrested in the $900 power steering option.. thinking larger steering wheel and a quickener .. your thoughts......

i think weller racing has them

I have both a quickner, small 1.5 to 1 and PS on my Teryx and I love it. Don't be afraid to go with PS because it will make your experience that much better! I'm not a fan (yet) of a quicker ratio rack because everyone I have seen changes bump for the worse. A larger steering wheel is the cheapest easiest way to get a little better results.

Very interested in this subject,,..so what do most of the racers do?full rack,or quickner?is there a strength issue with either one?any input would be great!thanx

 

[Seaver]

hmmm.. Thanks for the input guys.. Im going to look into the quickener more seriously.. I worry about the wheel getting to big and causing issues in the car space wise, Im 6' 3" but I do have nice sides that bow out on my car so I should be fine..
I think a 15" wheel.. stock RZR is about 13"? My RZR is not at home...

steering wheel placement is very important too. i have been advised just recently to take a look at how nascar and baja drivers steering wheels are placed. They have to endure a much longer drive time and they have the wheel much closer to them and they a good size wheel ...i think with a quickener and a 15 inch wheel placed correctly you would be very happy. As you are that tall you may not need to move the wheel closer as i plan too

 

[Seaver]

good points and agreed,, I have my wheel in my circle track car moved close to me and its nice, your right, move it closer and gain some leg room.. I can add length to my colum when I install the quick release hub as well.. 15" aluminum wheels from circle track outfits are super cheap also..

where are you guys mounting the quickener, not a ton of options as I see it?

 

[FBT]

Team Green, and anyo other of you fellows with P.S., what options are worth a look? From what I have seen they run around a thousand bucks, that is major duckets for me after dropping the $ on L.T., so I am gonna hafta stop buying other stuff for awhile (reloading gear) and save my $.
Like the long travel, this is not something you want to have to do twice.
Really would like to see some reviews on the P.S. systems.
