I took it out this past weekend and let me tell you...this ace can handle anything the big quads can handle and maybe even more. Now I am still breaking mine in and didn't want to push things to hard but the more i rode the thing the more confidence i gained on it. I took a hill on, that I only tried once before on my quad (I just made it and my buddy flipped his quad on this hill) With the ace, i didn't even think twice. The machine shot right up the hill with no problems or any doubts. I did many other just tough hill climbs and made every single one of them with ease. Not a thought of tipping over.
I was able to open it up a little on an old shale dump that had a couple of small jumps and drop offs. I hit speeds of 40 to 45 can would catch about 3 feet of air. It was a blast. So much different then my atv...so much better. It's everything you want to do in a car...but you can do it in this. I was able to fishtail and do pretty quick donuts. When I landed on the jumps, it was like landing on a cloud. Then the machine just pulled away. I didn't want to stop but i didn't want to push it.
As for mud, I didn't take it in anything to deep or crazy because i don't have my winch yet. But it pulled through everything I drove it into. The low gear just never quits. I had mud and water up over the floor boards and it was like riding through a puddle. I never got stuck or hung up and i ride some pretty crazy trails. After a while out there i didn't even care that i didn't have my winch. I wasn't getting stuck.
Overall, this Ace is impressive and has sold me. I will sing its praises whenever I get a chance. It is a tough little rig that is a ton of fun. I can't wait to take it out again and would recommend this machine to anyone and everyone. Hope this helps you out a little bit. Good people in here that I am sure will answer any question you may have. Good luck but you might not have to look to much longer now that you found the Ace.
