No, Winches don't come stock on XP's.</end quote></div>
Lol nothing comes with the XP's when you first get them.
The thrill comes after.

With the stock tires mine would easily spin all 4 tires up to 15 or 20 mph on hard pack dirt,and in 2wd it will spin them pretty much until you let out of it. I left 2 bare patches in a grass field about 100+ yards long with the stock tires,lol

Well the grass was a little damp,lol.
It just goes to show how poor the stock tires are.
With the XTRs it definitely hooks ALOT better and even with the larger diameter I immediately notice it felt quicker at low end acceleration. Spinning the tires all the way across the field is fun,but it's no way to win a drag race,lol. Probably wasn't real safe as I got such a kick out of it that i would turn around and watch the grass and dirt fly up to about 45mph at which point I would run out of field..but they were still spinning when I would let out.
When nailing it in 4wd with the stock tires on the hard pack,it didn't totally light the tires up,but they would spin for quite a ways and 15-20 is probably a slightly conservative estimate as it will hit those speeds very quickly.
The stock tires just can't handle the 850's power. About the only place you can get the Terriblethons to really hook under heavy power is asphalt.

I'm still amazed at how much power this machine puts out. At some point, I will invest in some aftermarket tires, but I'm wondering how it will do on hills, like loose dirt or rocks.

Just like everything else crap crap.
even my 550 had no problems spining the terrables
They put those tires on the bikes so you have to buy a winch<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: IronBear
