Looking at a Renegade 4 seater


Recommended Posts

Hey all, 

Looking to possibly purchase a 2008 Renegade 4 seater, 11000 miles.  asking $5,000 I know nothing about these machines, they seem pretty decent. Hard to find any info on them even on youtube. Anyone had any advice, or things to look at before buying? Thanks in advance!

You need to take it for a drive of course.  Check for electrical short.  Gauges may cycle off and on.  Original rocker switches are prone to corrosion.  Moisture seems to be the biggest enemy of this model year.  If everything works ok, then negotiate your best price and buy it.  A new Joyner Renegade 1100 4 seater at gokartsusa.com is currently 11,975.  You can get an owners manual at joyner-usa.com.  I have a 2008 T2 1100.  I have replaced all of the rocker switches.  Parts are out there you just have to have patience to find the right part when needed.  My T2 will climb anything.  I live in the desert so moisture is not an issue for me.  Previous owner lived on the coast.

I also have a Joyner Renegade.  It's a 2014 year model R2 (2-seat version).  Bought it 3 yrs ago for $7k.    2014 is the first year they started putting the 1100cc engine in it.  I don't have first hand knowledge of the early models but when researching for my machine, I've read that there were many quality control issues with Joyner machines.  The Trooper and Renegade uses an automotive style engine, clutch and 5-speed transaxle.  These engines are quite reliable - John Deere put the 800cc engine in their 825i and even Kawasaki (Japanese manufacturer) put the same engine in one of their SxS models.  The Chery engine is used in many lesser known brands of SxSs.  This machine isn't designed to take a high speed jump off a ramp; it's a utility vehicle that may be more at home on a farm or easy trail riding.  The weak point seems to be the bolts that hold the ring gear in the differential.  You can put in higher grade bolts.  I like my ride.  I've never had an issue with mine except the brake master cylinder - replaced it a few months ago.  Some parts are available on Amazon.  You may have to do a lot of your own repair work as service and parts are hard to find.  My opinion is the $5k price is too high for a "well used condition" which imples some hidden issues.  Check you state laws on street legal SxS.  AZ allows them as does many other western sates (some with severe restrictions).

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.
