It's sourcing, period. Unfortunately you get what you pay for and manufactures find every conceivable way of reducing costs to increase profits. If you compare the components that are used in main stream (on road) automotive production, you will quickly see that they do not differ. Unfortunately...

Joey, sure hope your right. Guess I got the wrong impression 2 years ago when the prior years winner of the western and national champion in the Ultra4 UTV class tried to introduce himself to Mr. Cole. His first words were who the F are you. When he explained that he had won his series, he...

in a very short span of time the UTV class has become one of the biggest. Top UTV manufactures have come in and sponsored the event yet nothing for us. It has been said from the beginning that the top dog does not like UTV's. Thought it might change with many of the 4400 guys running UTV's also...

Joey, I know you run your rigs pretty hard... I'm surprised no one has mentioned alignment. Found on the XP1000's that the 10.5" center to center on the drives is pretty important when it comes to overall performance of the clutches. Regards,

I'll go there.... The guys on the main course, hurt and looking like he's on a Sunday cruise. Not sure but it even looks like he's giving him the bird. Again on main course, no belts on, no helmet on! Not only is he showing a total disregard for his own safety, but for all that come up on him at...

Looking good! Bryan Carr's work has been speaking for itself for quite some time. His attention to detail and tin work are top notch. Good luck with your race program.... Regards,

Lets face it CVT drives have not changed significantly in 35 years. Taken from snowmobiles and slapped on a utv is not the long term fix. Ok I like my belt drive and it actually amazes me how well they actually do hold up. It's time for the manufactures to step up. Design the clutch to be much...

Bringing our knife to the gun fight.! Started on the build in July 2016 in hopes of running KOH in 2017. Ended up being a rough year taking care of family and it just wasn't to be. All signed up for 2018 and the cars is pretty much there. Looks like the course is going to be brutal and the...

XPT CVT Blaster SD (Sand /Desert) Our "XPT CVT Blaster II" for the XPT has proven it's worth on and off the track. The additional volume of high velocity air provides consistent cooling to the CVT drive system realizing significant drops in direct belt temperature, (Oh and it's filtered too!)...

Yep, one of the oldest racers tricks.. Back in the day we would find some old carpet foam cut it in strips and wrap the axle then finish it with e-tape or vulcanizing tape. Kinda a pain to take off for inspection and you throw the whole mess away. Always liked the idea so I figured out a little...

In a roll over the "B" pillar is where it's at, looks like they have squared it out and added cross bracing for that. Yes the "A" pillar may crumple/crush but will also absorb much of the energy from a sever crash. If that were to happen it looks like the occupants would still be in a safe zone...

Our Desertcraft PUR axle mount lets you easily mount your spare axle assembly to your roll bar in a matter of minutes. It can be mounted to 1-1/2", 1-3/4" or 2" tubing without marring your paint or powder coating. It's truly universal and allows for mounting to the CV splines or axle bar or a...

R2C has taken air filtration to a whole new level with the introduction of their severe duty synthetic filter media. Being directly involved in the original testing of their filters gave us some great insight to the overall benefits of their proprietary synthetic filtration media. It not only...

George, Getting your Xp1000 dialed in with a dual set up and your custom cover seems to be paying off for you.. Congrats on your podium finish at the Parker 250.

We are not a"Bandwagon" company that simply buys into a product then promotes it. First and foremost we like to think out of the box. Second, we design develop and test all of our products in house. Third, we like to do independent testing with enthusiasts and racers in the most extreme...

Buy (2) of those disc's and keep one in the truck. They always seem to break when your out on a trip. A little light lube on all of the moving parts helps too. Be really careful coming home late and tired forgetting to drop the tailgate, It's all bad trust me, lol. Kinda pricey to replace and...

Racing the Ultra4 series takes grit and determination and is a true test of man and machine. Starting with the King Of The Hammers which is billed as the toughest off road race on the plant and ending with the Nationals in Reno Nevada Phil pulled off the Championship. No easy feat yet, but Phil...

If you want to see our XPT CVT Blaster in person, you can check out the custom double stacker we set up for Jake Carver's car #936 at the International Offroad Expo in Scottsdale, AZ this weekend. His car will be located in the Baja Designs booth.

We have the only kits on the market that adds an extra volume of cooling air to the XP1000 and XPT!!! Because ours is the only kit on the market that does this you will see dramatic reductions in direct belt temperatures which is crucial to a healthy CVT system. Although we are...

The 2016 Vegas to Reno billed as the longest off road race in the U.S. It is a true test of man and machine. With nearly 350 entrants The two day event was filled with unforgiving and extremely silty conditions. The brutal conditions taxed the drive train of many UTV's in all classes. We have...

Sorry, no video for this one. You should have received detail instructions with the kit, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us. Regards,

You would hope that those that offer aftermarket upgrades have done their testing. All of the top automotive manufactures have had massive recalls for one reason or another. Bottom line is your only as good as your suppliers.

A quick look at the stock fuel rail would make you wonder. Box tubing with crimped cap ends. There have been reports of the cap ends leaking and failing. If the end cap does completely fail you have 50psi of fuel that will spray directly at the header (Not good). There are a couple of offering...

PM sent. Thank you

Looks like they lost about 30 miles due to the helo crash. Best guess =265 miles

Looked like a solid first day for Carver #936, running our our Prefilter kits and XPT "CVT Blaster II" (X2).

Thank you. We always have them in stock. Give us a call when you are ready....or you can order from our website at http://desertcraft-us.3dcartstores.com/XP1000-Pre-Filter-Kit_p_81.html

Nikal makes a valid point.. Living in the plastics industry for many years does give some insight. There are coating and fire retardant packages that can be added to most plastics that can dramatically retard (slow) the spread of fire. The use of these products would more than likely give the...

All indications are that it is not a naturally caused fire. Totally understand managing undergrowth, but if the fire is intense enough to reach the tree tops then all is lost. The area is and has always been very dry and is much more so with the years of drought. If there is a recovery it will...

This is bad and is affecting several groups in the local area. Our local mountains are enjoyed by hikers, cyclist,4x4's of all kinds, ATV's, dirt bikes and families simply trying to escape the desert heat. 500 homes under mandatory evacuation, 1000 more under voluntary, Hesperia and Apple Valley...

We put a quick video together on how to service your R2C filter. The filter used in the video is from our prefilter kit for the CVT drive. Working with rental companies and doing our own testing has proven that keeping dirt and debris out of the CVT drive adds longevity (extended service life)...

Saw that... Yes we have the filter for the YXZ, give us a shout when your ready. Regards,

The rack fix still holding up on the old T-dog? lol Let me know when your ready or a R2C filter for your new baby... Regards,

Having great results with our CVT Blaster II kit for the XPT. It has proven itself in other racing formats and know it can be a huge advantage in the desert racing arena. We are looking to sponsor a couple of teams with our kit that are taking on BITD etc. and have plans to run Vegas to...

Thanks Steve.... Long time no see, hope all is going well for you.

FYI.... For custom builds or race applications we stock the most popular size ducting, 3", 3.5" and 4". We can cut to any length you need, and we finish all of our ducts in house with cuffed ends for a positive seal. Regards,

We learned over two years ago that the only way to truly keep the CVT system cool is to add an extra volume of fresh cool air to the system. It is impossible to add the extra volume of air to the system by simply putting a blower in line in the stock system and in many cases this can actually...

George, Check your private messages.... Regards,

Here is the link to our shopping cart. http://desertcraft-us.3dcartstores.com/XP1000-Pre-Filter-Kit_p_81.html Let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call at 760-955-1409

We built on our success of our "Quick Draw" kit for the XP1000 and applied what we learned to the XPT. Although the clutch and cover assembly on the XPT has been revamped we found that it suffered from some of the same issues as the XP1000. The XPT system is capable of drawing in much more...

My son took an engineering job in GA., took a long weekend to fly back and see him. Made the drive to Big Buck to meet our dealers, sponsored racer Jamie McCoy #70 and get some great racing action in. Huge and impressive turn out, but still has a family oriented vibe. We were welcomed by...

We have had a ton of requests for a pre-filter kit for the 900S and 1000S. We heard complaints about how much dirt was getting in the air filter housing and inside the CVT cover. After a review of the placement of the intakes we could see that there might be room for improvement. We have had...

Yes helping the shock out is another good reason to run straps. Funny how they set up the XP1000 and XPT. At full comp it's around 10 to 12 degrees,(Plenty of room to play, if you step up in tire size to maintain ground clearance at full compression). But the rear is close to 30, bad news the...

I have popped a front in the rocks at the CV, the housing exploded and looked like a flower. Did the same to a rear, but it was the shaft. Sheared perfectly in half and looked like two finished ends, crazy!! So you guys have played with standard bug stuff that's been used for years. Me too... We...

We Are Desertcraft!!! Well I have been wanting to do this for some time now. After 20 + years of doing business as Desert Molding Concepts, inc. we felt it was time to update our company brand to better represent our off road/SxS products. Besides lets face it Desert Molding Concepts, inc...

Yes, the shocks pictured are sprung for the 2 seater. Regards,

The Bilsteins we offer for the XP1000 and XPT are the same shocks that held up to the Ultra4 series in 2015, letting John Duckworth #1920 run hard and capture not only the Western title but the National title as well. He is chasing the title again this year in his 2016 XPT and the Bilsteins are...

Wow!!! We pre-ran Lap 1 on Sat.. The wind was blowing 60 and most of the course markers were already down. Our group had the file and was glad we did. Couldn't image navigating that course without it. Regards,

Still a little confused.... I know some have gps problems out there, and they don't always update position rapidly. Or did they just not get the course downloaded?

Anybody know whats up with the 135 minute penalties that Gordon and Creed incurred? 2 hours and 15 minutes is a huge penalty, just wondered why. Regards,
