Qlink has a few different models.

They have a dealer in Birchwood WI. Might be one closer to you, but I don't know your zip. I used a MN one that I knew.

Thanks, I will look in to that. When did you move to Kansas?

FastDoc · 08-20-2012, 12:26 PM

I just checked the Q website and I don't see it anymore. It was a Yamaha Rhino clone, and a very close clone as I recall. I dont remember it's name though. Sorry.

I Live in Wisconsin so I have no fear of most government, but thanks for the input!

True that!

You guys are one of THE up and coming 'Freedom' States in the US right now!

TheRealWorld · 08-20-2012, 01:28 PM

Yes Doc, and I am working to see that continue! Also speak up in your state because there are many people going to move in and try to take your freedom and give it to the Government!

FastDoc · 08-20-2012, 01:31 PM

Also true.

The West (wet) side of my state is quite liberal. East of the Cascade moluntains though in the desert/country it is very conservative.

Same applies to Oregon, and truth be told, California.

I have been in Kansas since May.

TheRealWorld · 09-02-2012, 11:09 PM

OK, I have done a great deal of research, and I am reasonably sure I will not buy one of the clones. I have read some real harsh stuff. It is to much money to take a chance. Thanks for all your help guys!

Well, against my advice my buddy at work went ahead and bought that ODES side by side... 10K, hope she's a gooder!

I'll let you guys know what he thinks of it after he gets some hours on it

TheRealWorld · 09-04-2012, 10:08 PM

This will be very interesting, and I sure with him the best!

Me too, that's a lot of coin! I think he bought this one:

His son has one of those small 150cc UTV's and I guess they took them out on a local trail, both machines did well and they had a great time.

MICRider,

I have done some more research and I am considering this again. How is your friends holding up?

I'm not sure how many hours he managed to accumulate on them but he did manage to get them out for a few good outings. He's very happy with them so far. Now our weather has tanked in a big way so I'm not sure how much they'll be using them.

Only problems he mentioned were that his seatbelt re-tractor failed when the seat belt was pulled all the way out, he was able to disassemble it and repair it himself. And his son had a problem with the 150 but it was repaired by the dealer under warranty.

One thing I hadn't thought of was that he managed to run something over and rip the sidewall out of a tire on his ODES machine. He went back to the dealer to get a new tire but found out that the machine uses a bit of an oddball tire (not size, I think brand/tread pattern) and the tire would have to be ordered as they aren't stocked locally. Luckily the dealer had a take off from another machine that he was able to sell him so he didn't have to wait for the new tire to be ordered in

Thanks, for the fast and informational reply. I found someone that has purchased one, and has not had it long, but likes it. I figure these people might be a bit protective of their machine, as most people have tried to convinced them not buy it.

I will do more research and report back, I won't do this soon if I buy one.

Anyone know why these big machines only have a one cylinder engine?

katoranger · 11-09-2012, 08:53 AM

Seems like most of the big UTVs only have a single. Suppose it is easier maintenance and lower cost. Also lots of torque.
