Bad Boy Ambush

[ntzhunter]

Anyone have any experience with these buggies? I wouldn't be driving one through mud and water for duck hunting. It would be used in a normal hunting camp environment. It seems cool being its a gas/electric hybrid. Thoughts?

I've driven one. Very heavy and cumbersome. I didn't care for them at all.

I like them. My biggest complaint is the length of run time while in battery mode. Only seems like ours get about one hour tops which equals about six-seven miles. Also, the battery charge feature seems like a gimic to me? Doesn't seem to work at all?

It does have front and rear axle lockers which make it very capable getting through a mud hole.

I just bought a 2013 Ambush. I really like it, but would like to get more power out of it going up hills in electric mode. The dealership I bought it from said conditioning the batteries is very important. He said it take several cycles (draining the batteries below 50% and recharging) to make batteries last and increase torque/speed.

if I were you, I wouldn't take anymore advice from that dealer.


you will not get any more torque / speed after your batteries are "conditioned"

Yeah, was thinking that sounds like complete bs.

No doubt. That is the "hey man, holla back later" response to kick more days off the warranty period.
