RONNIE ANDERSON’S RZR RS1

RONNIE ANDERSON’S RZR RS1

Ronnie Anderson won the first two Pro NA 1000 rounds of the 2021Texas Outlaw UTV Race Series in his HRP/WER RS1. He was on the podium four more times in eight rounds, won the ninth round, and went into the double-header finale with a six-point lead over Kainan Baker for the $30,000 championship. He also stopped the Miller brother domination of the Pro Turbos by winning the seventh round in his hybrid XP Turbo S with the Pro XP engine, transmission and CVT, which we featured in the April 2021 issue of UTV Action. Anderson rebuilt that LOORRS-winning and points-leading Turbo for Texas and gave it a new wrap. Here are the mods done to his two race-winning RZRs.

 

HOLZ RACING SHORT-COURSE TURBO S PACKAGE

Holz Racing Products (HRP) has complete Short-Course kits for the Polaris RZR RS1, XP Turbo, Turbo S, XP1K and now Pro XP starting at $12,400. HRP Polaris Short-Course kits start with a Tig-welded, 1.75-inch, 4130 Race Cage, including an aluminum winged roof, full doors, aluminum fire walls, bed-delete kit, lowered seat mount, aluminum dash, billet steering column, window nets, radiator relocate kit with twin-fan CBR radiator, and number plates. The kit also includes heavy-duty radius rods and tie-rods, trailing arms, A-arms, and a front bumper with integral torsion bar, trailing-arm guards, an adjustable rear torsion-bar kit, nerf bars, a WORCS rear bumper, and a billet motor-mount kit. Inside, it includes a Joe’s 14-inch dished steering wheel, three-bolt quick-release steering hub and 1-inch spacer, plus a Yuasa sealed battery, a Sparco seat, and a 3-inch Master Craft safety harness.

 

 

Ronnie uses the Sparco Evo seat ($850 separately) and a five-point harness, but he runs CMI tie-rods instead of HRPs. Being a Walker Evans Racing (WER) athlete, Ronnie uses the optional WER 2.5 Velocity shocks ($3600 through HRP) with a second reservoir on the prototype rears and 15×5.5-inch Legend forged-aluminum beadlock wheels ($550 each). For Texas hard-pack dirt, he runs BFG’s P285/75×15 light-truck T/As. Other options for the HRP RS1 and Turbo S Short-Course kits that Ronnie uses are CMI billet hubs ($779.80) and heavy-duty wheel studs ($299.96), an HRP billet shifter ($119.95), and an HRP-designed wrap ($1000).

 

 

MORE SHORT-COURSE ARMOR

Ronnie has CMI Precision driveline and braking armor on both RZRs. Ronnie uses CMI big-brake rotors along with CMI hubs, but he upgrades to Wilwood twin-piston hydraulic brake calipers on all four wheels. Ronnie prefers CMI axles over the optional $2,900 RCV Pro Series II axles available through HRP. Call CMI for prices. Ronnie also uses HRP’s intercooler radiator with separate controls for the dual fans. Race rules require a fire extinguisher; HRP’s quick-release mount is $79.95, and the extinguisher is $50.

 

RACE-WINNING AND POINTS-LEADING POWER

K&T Performance did the tune on Anderson’s #52 RS1 and #752 Turbo S with Turbo Pro XP engine, clutch and transmission. K&T has Dynojet Power Vision 3 tuners for most UTVs for $399.99, and the Stage 2 Power Package with clutch springs and weights is $649.99. Stage 3 with a high-flow reinforced charge tube for the Turbo is $999.99; racers have reported collapsed OEM charge tubes on the Pro XP, especially in hotter weather. K&T fabricated the RS1 Pro XP exhaust and carries HMF, Gibson and MBRP systems for most UTVs for $430–$899.
