I have a friend that owns one and he loves it! We call it the "chino". He's got a gorrilla lift on it, and I think 28" s!lverbacks. It looks sweet! He bought it around Nats and snorkled it out there and I think the only real problem he had at that time was overheating. He's done a few things to it now and as far as I know it runs like a champ

those guys were snorkeling it and putting an exhaust on it and wheels and tires at Nats. They were just down the hill from us and it looked just like a rhino. One of the guys working on it was amazed at how much the parts and everything were just like a rhino!!!

Do the plastics seem good quality? I looked at a chinese Grizz last year and the "red" plastics were pink, it was stored in a shop and basically new so it wasn't a sun or weather issue. They just faded over time, overall the quad was a major piece.

I may be interested in one of these if it's just like a Rhino, can someone PM me a price on the 600?

The ones that I have seen and drove it seems like the plastics are holding up pretty good.

If anyone has any questions about the Rhino Knockoffs I would recommend you calling A&R Powersports at 903-657-0230 and ask for Rod or Angie, they have a Blue 700 and a black 700 on the showroom. They are also the ones that sold the blue one to Turner that has the 4" to 7" lift and the dual HMF exhaust on his.

I went this weekend to look at the SUNL 500, 600 and 700. A place in Fort Worth Texas has them , they look just like the Rhino. The price on these things are really good. The 500 goes for $5499.00. I want to make sure that I am looking at the same units that everyone is discussing on this form however. TuckerRacing , do you know if the ones that you have been looking at are imported by SUNL ? The place I went to is http://www.atvdiscounter.com/Utility-Vehicles/, take a look at their web site.

They are the same, there is 3 or 4 different companies importing them, Bluray (sp), Qlink (only camo colors is what I was told), Sunl and another one or two companies. They are just rebadged and some minor cosmetic changes.

I just picked one of the 700 units today. We are going to be doing a full review on the UTV In Mudders Magazine. From what I can tell there is no difference in the Rhino and the Supermach. I will have this unit at all of the Mudders Magazine events if you want to check it out let me know. I think my dealer will be selling the 700 for $7000 and the 500 for $6000. I should have pics of the unit on our site soon. For those of you that have one let me know what you think about it.

A car dealership here has them. I walked up and ask the salesman who makes them and he said yamaha. So, I m wondering if these are the same ones you guys are buying and seeing. Heres a link to the company, its called hsun. http://www.hsun-motor.com/EN/Product/Product.asp?SortPath=62 They are selling the 700 for $7400 and the 500 for $5400 I think he said. The 700 they have has a windshield, winch, and top already on it. Id just hate to drop $7000 on something thats not going to last. But looking at it, it looks like a yamaha.

HiSun makes them all. The Qlink, Diamo, etc, all have Hisun stamped all over the engine. I believe mine is a almost exact copy of a rhino, but the bed is like 6" longer ( which is great for my 4-seater). I had to drill holes to install the rear bumper. Also, I heard that you can't rebuild the water pump with a rhino kit, because the impeller had diffrent threads, but the whole water pump would match up fine. I think it's just going to be little stuff that is diffrent. I really like mine alot!

Camo Motorsports in Rison, Arkansas is selling the 700 for $7999. Surely they'll come off of that price a bit.

Ok I just bought mine, You will not believe the deal. I was looking at the 500, one store wanted 6250.00 out the door. This other guy had a 700 on his lot. He said that his managment wanted it gone because they needed more room for scooters! Since the price of gas went so high they have been selling about 15 scooters a day. Any way he told me to make him an offer and he would ask his boss. I told him $6000.00, he said ok he would ask. He called me back about 20 min later and said they would take , are you ready $6100.00 out the door! This is for a Sunl 700A with the wench and all. I drove to his lot and gave him my card and pulled it home. I am going to take it to my deer lease next week end and try it out.

THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO ON HERE.

We did our test sat it held up great we only found two problems one was the key switch it does not hold up well when it comes to water. The 2nd problem is the speakers they are in a bad spot. The key switch is no big deal you just replace it with a Rhino switch. Look for more info in the next issue of mudders we will be installing a 3in lift and a snorkel kit.

Any problems with axles or real world riding? Are the axles the same as the rhino?

Axles will interchange and look like they are alittle bit bigger. The Chino axles are way cheaper than a stock Rhino axle also.
