RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
If there is interest I would like to return the favor by sharing my build of the ultimate 4x4 RXV buggy. I learned a lot from all those who posted on BGW and thought it only right to share my build and experiences to hopefully help others. This is my first post so I apologize in advance.
I picked up a 2009 RXV that was totaled when the previous owner lost control and hit a wall breaking the front driver side spindle, trashing the steering system body, lights and bending the frame. I knew instantly this would by my hobby and passion for the next 6 months. Well 4 months later the cart is sitting 25" bear claws on a jakes LT front suspension sporting a custom SilverWolf 4x4 drive system and various accessories and parts. Although the Buggy is not complete (haven't figured out when it will ever be) I have proven its off-road worth through trial and error. |

Re: RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
Sweet, lets see it. They are pretty capable in stock form, probably rocks with 4x4. More pics & details?

Re: RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
Sure looked funny on the 20" tires.. How powerful is the front drive system?

Re: RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
Immediate torque through about 5 mph then starts tapering off. It is a great compliment to the AC drive system in the RXV that builds torque with speed. The SilverWolf motors in High can chirp the front tires from a stop on dry pavement sitting on soft ATV tires..

Re: RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
Have you gotten rid of the 4x 12v battery setup? Considered lithium? These are same capacity as T-875s, less voltage sag under load, 250lb lighter= better range than 8v batts.

Re: RXV Ultimate Hunting Buggy
Still researching charging methods for a lithium swap. I haven't decided if lithium will be my next undertaking or a two speed rear axle but I know I will eventually be doing both. When enough is enough, you've given up.
