| I love my Rhino but the thing i dont like about it is how numb the throttle/backend feels. Is there anyway to give a bit more feeling to the back end of this thing? its like you never really know when the rear end is spinning or anything. I dont know if its my tires (about 50% work stockers) or my suspension (all stock with sway bars still attached)? Any help would be great. | |

| its not really a traction issue. I dont mind the back end coming around. I was truckin across the field yesterday at about 45mph and hit some water the the back end came out and that doesnt bother me...stayed in the throttle and counter steer and just keep goin. Its more that you just dont feel ANY THING going on back there. Maybe disconnecting the sway bars would help out and let it flex a bit more. I cant really dial back my shock preload because i have a cage and seat back there all the time...plus kids back there so i need the weight in the springs so i dont bottom out the shocks all the time. | |

| When I'm going 45 mph the rhino feels like its off the ground floating, the stockers don't have a lot of traction either so there easier to break loose. How much tire pressure are you running that could be a factor. | |

| its not a traction issue....whether i do or dont have traction isnt the issue. Its when it starts to move or let go or do anything you dont feel it very quickly in the rhino. | |

| imho that's what happens when you have pulleys instead of direct drive. i think a cvt isolates a lot of the feel that you're talking about. i notice the difference if i hop on my wife's rancher. it just hooks up better right off the bat. it's a trade-off... | |

| Chuddly I think I know what You are talking about ! I have somewhat gotten use to it. I think that is were the clutch slugs come in. Gives more of a feeling of direct drive ! I have not done this mod yet, but from the way everyone describes it, It will help that feeling. | |

| Slugging the clutch couldnt hurt either....I think i will do a combo of all the above. loose the rear sway bar, tires at some point (when my current ones wear out) and slug the clutch. | |
