Default Trying Out the Teryx

Here are a couple of videos I took last night in the Teryx. I obviously need either a better camera mount or someone to hold the camera. Duct tape would work, but I don't want the sticky residue on my camera or tripod.

A few impressions:

Lots of torque.
Seatbelt must be replaced with 5 point harness. It rubs my neck and I'm 6'2".
The seat gets a little warm and makes my back sweat.
It's noticibly wider than an ATV on these trails. You see a lot of limbs hitting it in the videos.
This thing eats up hills.
Throttle block is down to keep me from opening it up during break-in.
Throttle spring is too weak. On rough ground, my foot tends to bounce up and down and a stronger spring would possible help that problem a bit.

lol nice, if I had a few beers in me, and sitting in the passenger seat, it would be the same effect!

They make RAM mounts just for mounting a camera to ATVs and UTVs. http://www.ram-mount.com/camera_mount/camera_mounts.htm I use a RAM mount on my quad. (see my sig.) Good high-quality products. You can put a laptop in car, fishfinder on a boat, cellphone on a quad, anything you can think of, and set the exact angle you want. They even make a swiveling beer holder so you don't spill any when you sidekick the quad.
