I have a few questions for you guys about the Renegade in the sand. My father-in-law is looking at buying one for this weekend trip to St.Anthony's. He has a pretty nice Rhino but want's something else to play on. He used to ride a KFX 700 in the dunes.
How does the Renegade do in the sand compared to the KFX 700?
How is the clutching? Does it stay in the power on hills?
I know it's heavier than the 700 and it's 4-wheel drive but does it need to be in 4-wheel drive to navigate some steeper dunes?
Has anyone put paddles on this thing? Rear or Front---or both?

Thanks for any answers you guys can give me.

 

Chili, I talked with a guy last weekend that had a stock one. While it was not a go anywhere unit, he was completely happy with it. About a month or so ago. My father in law raced one up SMU valley side. His Ds is a stage two, and he only beat the gade by 6 lengths! It had tripple buffs on the rear and mohawks on the front. I dont know what else was done.

I dont use four wheel drive in the Rhino for duning, so I am sure he will not have to use it on the gade either. As with anything CVT driven. Clutching will make or brake the machine.

 

Thanks Jed.....Do you know what size tires he had on it? You said triple buffs but do you know how big? Isn't stock 25in front and rear?

Anybody else have any thing to add???????
Thanks again
Rod

 

I think they were 25's. I didnt count but looked like a 9 or 10 paddle.

 

Keep the replies coming guys.
Thanks a bunch!!!!

 

I have the HMF muffler and dobeck stage 3..with 26x12x12x14 x extreme paddles. A slightly modified ds650 will run about even with this setup.
