Kyle Chaney the Short-Course King

Hey, what’s up, guys? Kyle Chaney here, and we’re here with my Can-Am* Pro Mod 4400 car. I’m gonna give you guys a rundown of it. Here in the front, we’ve got full built CT Race Worx chassis, cage, custom lower A-arm mount for the shock.

The whole suspension up front is completely custom GFORCE by Nost shocks that are Fox bodies, but with Nost internals. Raceline Wheels. You got the smart lock diff where we currently run the AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90. We got the top off here because we’re doing some maintenance, getting ready for a race, just kind of double checking everything.

We got a Pyrotect fuel cell, Warn winch, Diod Dynamics lights just in case we got to go into the night. Factory UTV skid plates, the whole chassis is boat sided. So we got custom skid plates made for the car. PRP seats, Hess steering quickener, PCI radios.

That’s pretty much the front of the car. We got SANDCRAFT driveshafts. But the thing is pretty bullet proof. I say pretty bullet proof.

I can break about anything. We changed to the sway bar in the rear. We moved it from its normal spot to the rear. Just kind of helps the action of the of the shock and the trailing arm which CT tailing arm.

We run stock clutches. We got C&R radiator and intercooler in this thing. Thing cools really good. Tech is very it’s taken very serious at some of these races and you know so we overkill the car with safety stuff so we build the cage.

CT builds the cage out of, you know, extra wall thickness. This will be an aluminum panel fire wall, the rear panels, aluminum firewall, just, you know, it just helps for safety. You know, the fuel cell is a Pyrotect bladder, fuel cell, super safe. So we pretty much just make these cars to wreck really hard, I guess.

I mean, you know, you want to be you know, the stock cars are super safe, but, you know, we overbuild these cars mainly for safety. And, you know, to pass the safety requirements of the race that this car is going to do. Yeah. So on the my 4400 car CT Race Worxs designed the front suspension where we mounted the shock to the lower A-arm.

It puts more pressure on the bottom A-arm which puts pressure on the bottom of the actual wheel itself and gives you more stability in the action ratio as it’s quite a bit better with it mounted to the bottom arm compared to the top. You can get the work in really good from the top, but from the bottom it’s almost easier to tune. And then once you get it tuned, it’s it’s easier to fine tune. So you know Nost suspension, GForce and Fox worked together to make a really solid shock package that worked with these A-arms and this car works amazing.

It’s by far the best suspension I’ve ever drove in a big race car. So certain races we put winches on and I choose Warn mainly because of the reliability of Warn. But this car specifically, we put the winch inside the cab so the weight of the winch wasn’t hanging off the front. I wanted to use a bigger winch than I normally run, which a normal ATV winch is like 25lbs.

The RC 9 which we’re running is over 50lbs. And to hang that big 50lbs off the front of the car, it was going to take so much suspension work. And plus it, you know, it helps center the weight of the car by putting the winch inside. So CT Race Worxs designed a way that we could the winch inside, so the winch is mounted right here.

I’ve got a little switch inside so I can lock and unlock it that way when my co-pilot’s out hooking to a line or a rock, he doesn’t have to run all the way back into the car and lock in, lock out the winch. I can do that from inside the cab. So it saves a lot of time. And plus having the winch in the cab, like I said, it just makes the overall ratio of the car more even than having the winch hanging off the front.

So in my 4400 car, we decided to move the shifter up on the column. Used to be down like the center console area, which, you know, some races where if you’re shifting from high to low, you kind of got to reach down. And you know, sometimes it’s kind of a pain, you know, going from high to low. So we moved it up on the column so you could see it and it’s right next to your hand.

So you have real fast movements, high to low. You’re in and out and then you’re on your way. Hey, thank you guys for checking out my Can-Am 4400 UTV.
