I’ve never ever even put mine in diff lock. But in 4x4 you can go full speed! I drive in the California deserts and Glamis all the time. Had my car for going on four years and never blown a front diff let alone a belt for that matter and I drive as fast as I can go most of the time. So good choice on the can am!! As far as trail and trail active I’ve never figured it out. To me seems like there is no difference between the two in my opinion.changing the fluids and refilling them is the worst that’s where Polaris has it good. Service a Polaris is easier in my opinion.
There is 2 different service schedules in the manual. Normal duty and severe duty. Normal is at 2k and severe is 1k. I personally service my x3 around 1k miles. There is also a silicone funnel that slides through a skid plate hole that makes draining oil easier. Enjoy Nick! Glad to see an x3 in the dirt dudes fleet…now have a sxs I can relate to!
Cool video guys.looling forward to see what's next
Nice rig nick good to see devercity have fun with it!!!
I like they way ya explained the whole cluster options... it made sense to me since I had a polaris and now I got my 23 x3 coming in about a week.... and I like that "trunk stopper" or whatever it's called..lol...
You are welcome for the door lowers brother. Glad to help.
I love this dude his energy is amazing
Nick you shoukd use drown mode to cycle the engine so you can get all the old oil out of the engine and the oil filter just press the start button an thw brakes and fully press the gas pedal it won't start it will just cycle it
Most people do the valve drain plug on these. Makes services much easier. And the small plug is for the dry sump side I believe.
MR RPM spin on oil filter adapter makes for a clean oil filter change, plus opens up a ton of different filters you can run, especially in a pinch if you can't get a cartridge
7k miles on my 2020 rr … oem wheels bearings and two belts. Tuned 4 seater !
Its funny watching you guys trying to drain the oil. In the rocks High dps, every where else I like medium dps. I use a water bottle cut 2/3 of it off, for a funnel, When you get an exhaust and delete the stock exhaust and rear facia piece, it makes filling so much easier and its easier to do other maintenance.
Cussed many times changing oil on my '19. Raptor offroad has a specific funnel that is cheap and worked for me. Change the front diff fluid often, on my 3rd one. I use a snap on ball allen with a wrench to break it. Just snug when tightening
Thanks for the review, kinda already have my mind geared towards the XRC so your feedbacks on your XC just helps me pull the trigger feeling I'm making the right choice.
Great job.
I dremeled my skid plate out to fit a silicone filter in there a little better. Would highly recommend if you plan on servicing that thing regularly. Also after you get both drain plugs out you can push the brake and gas to the floor to try and start it and it will flush the remaining oil out, so it doesn’t make a mess when you pull the filter out. Funnel with hose on it straight down through the bed to fill. I also, run my dps on minimum. It has far more self steer for sliding corners and drifting 👍
Dude get a particle separator installed on on my turbo RR, have 500 miles on my original filter still looks brand new never had to clean
Amazingly helpful. Thank you!
Key is cheap enough so no worries. 4wd trail is a normal open diff 3wd. Trail active is the smart mode, locks/unlocks based on a few sensor inputs. A cut up water bottle makes a great mess free funnel for oil changes. The xrc model has a wide brake pedal so you can just replace with it.
I love that you guys have some diversity in your cars now... Next i'm curious about the new KRX Turbo 4 cylinder thats supposed to be coming... would be cool to have another brand competing with the pro r and the mav r.
Had 13 maverick, went to Yxz 1000 3 peddle, then 20 xmr rr , by far x3 my favorite
Check out the new rough country storage box for the rear. Lots of room inside of it. I really like mine and looks clean.
I agree, I have one on mine and it looks great and can still use the rear view mirror.
The brake pedal you are wanting is the CanAm brake pedal from an X3 XRC
Look up Curtis valves. They make a valve to keep on the engine for easy oil changes!
Thanks for the shout out!
@@curtisvalves1944 no problem can’t wait to have mine so I don’t have to fight with doing oil changes
Curtis Valve is a game changer!
Shout out to some local homies! Representing Northern Michigan. The guys at extreme are awesome!
Look into getting a Curtis valve set up. Oil drain problems solved!!
I have a Ski doo snowmobile 900 ace turbo and it looks like the same deal with the drain plugs, i just take a allen socket on a short or long extension loosen it up with ratchet then take the ratchet off and turn the plugs out by hand with the allen socket and the extension and just get a big pan and let the oil drain, it makes a little bit of a mess, you can also get some (Pig Matting, its oil absorbing material) and what doesn't hit the pan will fall on that. that way you don't have to reach up in there to unscrew the bolts by hand, but that's just how i do it.
And the dps from how I understand it is min, least amount of power steering assist added, med is middle, max is most assist. I get more feedback on min and least on max.
to get rid of the spongy brake you need to make steel lines. I changed rotors and pads. The car stops fine but I hate the spongy pedal too. 50k in parts and still needs more.
Hey brother,, check out the Curtis valve drain bolt,, love mine
They make a special funnel for the X3 so you don’t make a mess
Looks like the next mods will be parts to make the oil change easier.
The 17mm drains the main motor oil compartment and the 10mm drains from the oil filter compartment....also you can use any basic funnel just trim it to fit accordingly... Another secret, you can router the skid plate drain hole a bit bigger... I've opened mine by half inch all the way around. Untill I reached the frame part that's it's the way..
Replace those stock lower A Arms!! They're notorious for snapping breaking and bending at the weak link...
Love the Obor hat!
Evo Tune should wake that unit up! Remove the EPA's stronghold on it!
Possibly fix your pedal delay issue!
I have a particle separator on my x-3. 1700 miles and still on the original air filter. Central Oregon dust is no joke. 10/10 highly recomend.
those particle separators are unbelievable !!! all my machines get one, first upgrade .
I did not know there was an access door on the inside for the air filter clip!! I covered it up with Dynaliner. Lol
9:03 trail active works like a champ on varied terrain. However I live out west in the high desert of northern Nevada
Just curious but did ya put the rack on because your cooler went flying out the back a couple weeks ago at St. Helen.. 😂
Been using full lock for 2800 miles 👌
Highly recommend CA Tech front gusset kit, limit straps and frame reinforcement. The front ends can get twisted on jumps or thumping it over rocks at speed. About $1500 for the front end work but cheaper than a new frame and 1 year wait.
Nick you need to get your self a Curtis valve for a x3, it will make your life easier on changing oil
Thanks for the shout out!
Curtis Valves will save you a ton of mess when changing your oil, and the second plug is for the filter oil but if you put the car into flood mode and crank the engine over for a few seconds and do that a couple times it will drain the filter and you don’t have to take the little bolt out.
I’m pretty sure the Polaris 4wd isn’t always in 4wd till the rear tires start to slip in the slightest bit. I know their new RZRs have it and the four wheelers have it. Once the 4wd in engaged it also locks too and turns off once traction is regained. I could be wrong about the SXSs having it, but they’ve advertised that their newer vehicles have it included the rangers and the new.
I run my dps on min all the time. I felt like on min it had the most self steer for sliding out of corners.
I have had the peddle commander for a few year..... great mod. you don't need a tune with it.
Let's see a CT Race Worxs brace kit installed.
Upgrade to the blue Donaldson air filters outer filter DBA5225 and the inner filter P829332.
Make sure you get that clutch housing guard. You break a belt and it will explode your inner clutch cover. Get the carbon fiber guard. No drilling, slides right in
Around me, it's about 90-100 bucks for a new key and the programming
On your rear bed platform, I believe there is hole lined up directly above your oil fill cap. But you have to have a long enough funnel to reach down there from the bed. Much easier.
Man i came from Polaris and the x3 is definitely a different experience.. love my x3 !!! Very curious about the pro r though.
Nick a particle separator is almost a must but until you can get one they make a foam filter you actually oil like a dirt bike it works ok in my opinion better than the paper element.
U need to upgrade the brake system
Brake pads wear out quick which explains the soft brake
I've got a DS Base and love it
DPS
Low = Snow and sand conditions where the front tires glide over the ground easy
Med = General and fast trail riding
Hi = Rocks
Power
Eco = Unload/Load off trailer, Rocky terrain
Sport = Literally everything else
Front Diff
Trail = 85% of my 4WD driving
Trail-Activ = Pulling harder out of corners, Snow, Rocks
Diff-lock = Typicially needed when its too late and i'm already stuck, full on mud.
4WD
2WD = haha, tires go weeeee
4WD = Pulling hard on the fast roads, Gnarly wooded trails, Snow, Mud, Rocks.
Get a RPM cat delete pipe! You’ll love it.
I have a 21 XRS and I have some of the same irritations. For the brake pedal, buy an XRC brake pedal, it’s like a 20 minute replacement and fairly cheap. For the oil, they sell a silicone funnel that will make your life SO much easier. I run CT Race Worx for all my gussets and can’t say enough good things, other than I need a bigger budget. Lol.
Nice 💯👍
You need to get the special wheel bearing grease tool and grease your wheel bearings. Can Am and Polaris come from the factory with very minimal grease in the wheel bearings. The first time you do it, it's kind of difficult, but really easy after that. There's some really good videos on UA-cam on how to do it.
Nick, get the “X3 RC” stock brake pedal, don’t get an extension, the stock RC brake pedal is fantastic!
And the brakes on the X3 are “soft feeling” to many, doubt you have air in the line.
As long as they lock up, hate to say it, but “get used to the brake feel” would be my best advice, as not many past a complete big brake kit will change the feel.
You can get pads that bite the rotor more, but the X3 is already hard on pads if you are not a lift and coast type driver.
Changing to stainless steel lines helps a bit, too. The soft lines don't do this machine any favors...
Nick there is 2 holes on the front of the seat bracket so you can adjust the seat more forward like your use to. They come in the layed back position from the factory but it comes with the adjustment too
That is good to know! I'm 5'5" and when I drove my buddy's new one I hated that position soo much! I felt like a 9 year old trying to see over the hood on steep inclines.
@Jizden_Mipanz yeah there is a extra hole only in the front on the seat bracket, you have to unbolt it but it brings the front of the seat down like you would normally sit.
@@brandoncounts711 then just add the seat risers and you're all set!
What is the make of that gated shifter?
Run the speed at 2.0 and listen to Nick’s laugh. 👍
At high speed open front diff is the way. Wont push so bad
Y’all ride yours in 4wd on trails / gravel I like the extra control but always worried hurting my axels at 40/50 mph
Awesome content you sound like Chris Farley 🤣 great video
At silver lake drag racing in 4wheel drive. I’d hit about 52 mph. With the front diff locked in I’d get 56mph. From what I’ve read and experienced is dps is only for slower speeds. When your going fast dps goes to minimum no matter what you have set. Just my 2 cents.
The "Override" button comes in very handy when you need full power in reverse to get out of a stuck situation where you cannot go forward but the reverse speed limiter prevents you from getting unstuck. Wish my RZR had that feature. It's very common on four wheelers.
The brakes do suck. Also change the seats to the bottom hole on front to change the seat angle a little bit and it makes it 10xbetter.
Oil changes do suck, but their are 3 different after market funnels that fit in between the skid plate and motor that catch about 99% I got mine for about 9$ check rock mtn. 2nd tip 6in extension with 2 decent wobblies go up threw the funnel much easier for me anyway. Hopefully that helps with the enjoyment factor. 2nd can am for me and they aren't fun to work on outside of belts and air filters.
Also I commented a little early. But when you do gussets do the kit the bumper the winch all at once so you don't have re pull the bulk head ever again. Mine was a non smart shocks so it nose dived hard spring kit was maybe my favorite mod.
Nick if your looking for some rear radius rods and a pull plate let me know I’ll cut you a crazy deal on new set of ca technologies USA high clearance radius rods and pull plate. New in the box ready to ship, I decided to go a different route on manufacture so reason looking to sell. Lmk
So how do you fix the dead pedal ? Mine is idle or full tilt …. Nothing in between? Thanks
Dry sump is why there's 2 I think
Dead pedal? In eco mod yes, somewhat on takeoff. In Sport mode I have never noticed it. It may be a different feeling to you than a Polaris but you will get used to it. You don't need a Pedal Commander. You should also blow the clutches out after every dusty ride. If you drive with your brain you won't blow belts and destroy the clutch covers. Have fun!
They make door bag's for more storage
My 2019 in 4yrs I'm at 475 miles.
Only 1 oil change and still have factory belt
X3 Maxx RS turbo R
So what your saying is that you literally never drive it?
@hadleybennett6875
Can't really put alot of miles at Xtream off road park in Crosby TX outside of Houston.
And
Probably because I don't send it or do crazy doughnuts
The oil filter is the only easy part in changing your oil😂😂😂😂
nice car
I mean, I have a 19 XRS and a 21 DS, flawless vehicles and we beat the hell out of them- they are broke in from the factory so the oil change was pointless
How the cvt belt holding ?
The front diff is completely different then a Polaris I wouldn’t lock it if you don’t have to.
I’m getting on people’s x3 video’s looking for input if I can get any. I have a 2022 with a thousand miles on it at 1000 miles the oil cooler failed put all my oil into the cooling system crazy thing is it still ran fine would not of even caught it if I hadn’t checked the oil pretty sure I drove it two days like that no overheating nothing. I’m trying to find out if anyone else had had the same issue. It was a pretty big deal could of blown up the engine I don’t like the design and location of the oil cooler. Any input would be appreciated.
Watch out if you put the front speaker panels in. Some x3 , mine basically, would rip the steering wheel out of my hands and spin to the right.. Yes the dealer can adjust it with an appointment and shop time just don't be like me and go for a rip with the new system lol
Happened to me too haha
@@876portturbo freaky weird isn't it lol
Do the can am hold value
Might as well change the 2ndairy rollers now 😁👍 stick won't last long
Yup i actually went to stm and had them build me a secondary. Not a fan of the can am secondary .
@@vintage30 turned my rollers to dust apparently and they just blew out the housing exhaust 😁👍
@@chrisgoetz3889 yup that’s what happened to mine .
Look up drown mode on changing your oil
Your front diff capacity is stamped on the case.400ml which is 14oz.
Oil is cheep🎉🎉❤❤
Ppl who say they blow front diffs don’t know wtf they’re talking about. Yeah the old visco was trash. They have smart lok now which is way stronger, and if welded is just as strong as a halo.
does extremepowersports have maverick R's? I'm from Chicago and looking to trade my X3 for one but the dealers here just want to keep it to bring attraction to their lot....
I believe so
I know it's a regional thing but I still get a kick out of hearing it called a " car "
Sb particle separator is a must!!!
I second this statement. Well worth the money…
Thats how i run my 4wd
Get a fast lab funnel! U will thank me later.
Buy a brake penal from an rc model
P90 is Polaris and pDrive is brp
I know its new and it hurts your ego but can ams are a pain in the ass to work on. Just wait till you have to change the A arms or something
Crawling = High
Flying = Low
So pretty much only use diff lock in low. If you are going through something harry enough you need it locked you should probably be in low anyway.
Idk if I would still follow this channel if it wasn’t for Nick but you make me laugh 😅. Can am maintenance 0 lol
Get ready to spend around $1000.00 dollars to stiffen your front end also the stuff to stiffen up the rear end. The seatbelts will not work effeciantaly if you roll over. Enjoy your new machine.
Where can I get a dirt dudes sticker to put on my side x side
They’ll be back online soon
Or come to Crashapalooza
Your not going to be hard on your front diff unless you are into the Tennessee rough technical rock crawling stuff so for you guys up in the fast pace stuff I think you’ll be fine
Wait so what kind of rugged did you buy?
45w GMR
@@dirtdudes im sorry im fairly new to the sxs world but is that the one that can connect with others while riding or just talk with passenger? I’ve noticed how that can come in handy out here in the cali desert (mojave) or glamis.
Yup, hit up Brad at SxS radios. There’s a link in our description. He can get you taken care of
