Ok. 2nd trip out to the dunes. The Commander has power, but there we a few hills that backed it off. I noticed that the first time, but figured it was due to the tires. I might be running too much pressure in the haulers. I am running 6.0 PSIG. I always run 4 to 4.5 on my Banshee.
I need to find out what the snowmobile engine has that gives it 120 HP.
Something else I don't like is the throttle not being immediate. Hopefully there will be a kit to make throttle actuation manual. I like to get little wheelies off obstacles. The delayed throttle response eliminates that.
There seems to be a lot of things that rattle and buzz. I will get some weather stripping zip ties etc. and quiet them down.
Overall I like this machine. It is light years ahead of the Rhino. The fact that I'm trying the monster hills and can't quite make it is a testament to the Commander. Wheelies off obstacles. Never thought about that with the Rhino.
Very good platform to get some serious performance out of.
