RRP Poles

[paczowski123]

So I have been looking into potentially upgrading to a RRP pole, but I have some questions.

It seems a lot of people complain that they have to be pieced together, what all has to be bought to run one of these? It looks like when purchased the only thing it comes with is the pole. What all has to be bought to run on a SJ, particularly a SN SJ? Also, can it be run on a SJ then everything transitioned over to a AM hull, or would other brackets etc have to be purchased? Last does it work with a steering system such as CF bushing style system, or do you have to run a bearing style system?

Pole, Backet, Steering Stop, Chin Pad, Steering Plate & Bearings, Bolt.......... Everything has to be bought seperatly. Why not just go with an XMetal Pole. Almost half the price and still adjustable.

Well, I have read of some people experiencing some engine breathing issues with the xmetal. Especially when going with BB motors?

 

[XJCrawler]

That's if you only breathing through the pole, if you have hood breathers there's no issue's

 

[paczowski123]

Well, it seems a lot of AM hulls do not come with hood vents? It seems many suffer with engine bay/hood vacuum with the xmetal.

I thought it was going on a SN?

Check out the blowsion pole its another nice option

Buy a hull that the builder actually took the time to engineer a hood liner in the hood design. RRP pole ain't gonna solve an air issue with a heavy breathing motor

Do Rickters have a hood liner? Noob Question.. my B

 

[SkiPro]

I know they have a lid for a hood. But is there a liner and any vents?

Over 850-900cc should utilize hood breather regardless if you have an RRP pole breather tubes......that was at least our experience

For the time being it would, but I plan on going to AM here in the next year.

I have a cold fusion steering system on my rrp. No issues at all.

You'll need to basically replace from the bracket up to make it work on your square.
The square also has the hooks incorporated into the bracket so you will need new hull side hooks and will have to mount outside the bracket like a RN and will need to move your hood hooks out to match.

RRP now has a AM Hood Vent you can retrofit to the lid.

 

[paczowski123]

Sounds like it would be best just to purchase at the time of the hull since it would be of any benefit right now as I'd have to modify my current setup so much to use it

If anyone is interested in a tube pole bracket I have made a few extra. Asking $165 pm for details.
