On youtube there’s almost no reviews no builds no nada. If I search for rzr everyone has a build what’s going on? On paper this machine seems to be legit. Why is there no love? I’m going to buy one on Tuesday but can’t find a single review.

Welcome from Tucson AZ. Off the top of my head I'll say "because the X3 is hard to beat, and the best car out there".

Doesn't mean other members don't have any other models. Have at it, look forward to your build.

Goes through belts,
Murray racing did a build years ago..

Not the best platform in a max

The X3 is the way to go
I really liked my 15 turbo, enough to put over 10,000 smiles before we got a 2020 XRC

I'll deny I ever said this....

You would be better off with a Razor from the same era than that max.

Even a turbo OG max is suspect.

A 2 seat OG turbo is a great car.

Agree 100%
He needs to find an OG 2 seat turbo..
Otherwise a base X3 model and improve off of that platform

Regarding the Max, I'm not a fan of the XC or X3 Max models. I have to pass X3 Max's at times, because turbo or non-turbo, they can't keep up with my pace in the desert. My 2-seater XC non-turbo 101HP model has been fun to drive. I understand it's definitely not the best for Glamis, but it performs very well at Superstition Mountain (west of Brawley CA) which has plenty of sand. Regarding ride quality, I have some upgraded Fox adjustable shocks, heavy Eibach springs in back, and light Eibach springs in front, and with the simple adjustments I'm enjoying my rides very much. I have learned how to drive and have fun with my setup.

If for some reason something changes with me and I ever need to but a 4-seater, it's definitely going to be a Rzr because they seem proportionally much better set up than the Can Am's. I mean it's glaringly obvious when I walk by them.

I found a pic of Phoenix and he is passing people on his souped up lawnmower!

I really like the Evel Knievel outfit, it really shows he's legit!

101 squirrel power baby!

This is a classic case of everyone thinking they are a better driver than everyone else and just because they spent their money on something, it must be the best. See this all the time when people recommend a certain product to others but have zero experience outside of what they bought. Its quite funny.

I agree MG.
The OP asked about a
What about mountain trailers in the Payson Az area I don’t dine much at all
I assume you meant dune.

The machine is mediocre at best.

Like I said the Polaris 4 seater in a similar price range might be best.
