Join the Bad Boy COMMUNITY

Outdoorsmen no longer have to choose between the silent, odorless operation of an electric vehicle or the extended range offered by a gas powertrain. With the new Ambush™ utility vehicle from Bad Boy Buggies, they can do it all.

“We are thrilled to announce the addition of the Ambush to the Bad Boy Buggies line of products,” said Eric Bondy, vice president of the consumer value stream for Bad Boy Buggies. “This revolutionary vehicle brings pioneering technology into the outdoor industry, and eliminates the tradeoff hunters previously had to make between an electric vehicle’s silent operation and a gas‐powered machine’s extensive range.”

“The Ambush is the ultimate vehicle for hunters seeking range and power combined with low‐noise, zero‐emissions operation required to sneak up on a trophy kill.”

The Ambush will be available in both a four‐passenger model with a rear‐facing back seat, and a two‐passenger model with a 9.6‐cubic‐foot cargo bed. The vehicle provides three separate operating modes: rear‐wheel‐drive 2WD gas, front‐wheel‐drive 2WD electric, and 4WD with both gas and electric powertrains engaged. Operators can shift from gas to electric mode “on the fly” using a simple control integrated into the vehicle’s keyswitch.

An onboard computer coordinates the operation of the Ambush’s dual powertrains, ensuring that the gas and electric systems work together for maximum power and efficiency and making control easy for the driver.

Other standard features include:
• a manually locking rear differential, which can be engaged in 2WD gas or 4WD operation, to help navigate the toughest terrain;
• a momentary boost switch that offers immediate 4WD operation at the push of a button to power through the trail’s deepest ruts and eddies;
• four‐wheel hydraulic brakes with a regenerative braking feature that recharges the vehicle’s 48‐volt electric drivetrain as the vehicle is in operation;
• independent A‐arm front suspension with MacPherson struts to absorb the bumps and jolts of the journey;
• front bucket seats to get driver and passenger to the blind in comfort;
• a 2‐inch rear hitch receiver to tow implements and equipment ;
• headlights and taillights to light the way at dawn and dusk, and a front brush guard to protect the vehicle’s finish in dense brush and on overgrown paths;
• a blackout switch that immediately cuts power to vehicle lighting to allow for stealthy approach;
• numerous safety features including a rollover protection system (ROPS), hand‐actuated parking brake and optional three‐point seatbelts;
• 25‐inch trail tires to provide surefooted traction on tough, muddy climbs.

To meet the specific needs or style of any owner, the Ambush can be customized with a wide variety of options and accessories including a winch, optional power bed lift, gun and bow racks, a dry‐storage compartment, ammo box, a weather enclosure, and a heater/defroster.

The Ambush will be available through Bad Boy Buggies dealers in summer 2012. The vehicle will be displayed at the Bad Boy Buggies exhibit (Booth #1444) at the 2012 NSSF SHOT Show, Jan. 17‐19 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

WELCOME, N.C. - Realtree, the creator and marketer of the world’s most versatile camo patterns, and Bad Boy Buggies, a leader in utility vehicles for hunting and outdoor lifestyles, will partner as co-primary sponsors of Richard Childress Racing’s No. 29 Chevrolet team with Kevin Harvick for the August 27 Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

Realtree, based in Columbus, Ga., has maintained a relationship with RCR since 1997 and with Harvick at RCR since 1999. The pairing of Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies with RCR and Harvick has some interesting twists. Realtree is one of the longest running RCR sponsors, with 14 years of continuous presence on the team’s cars, and actually sponsored Harvick’s first ARCA race at Talladega in an RCR car. Bad Boy Buggies is currently a sponsor at Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) in the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series.

“The Bristol night race really comes at a great time of year to put the NASCAR spotlight on the Bad Boy Buggies and Realtree brands,” said Realtree designer and president Bill Jordan. “Outdoorsmen everywhere are thinking about the upcoming fall hunting seasons. Of course, when it comes to racing, it doesn’t get much more exciting than Bristol!”

Harvick is currently fifth in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings after 21 races. So far this season, the No. 29 team has earned three victories, six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes. Harvick captured the checkered flag at Auto Club Speedway in March, Martinsville Speedway in April and the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May. He is all but assured a spot in this season’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

“We are excited to join Realtree and Richard Childress Racing to promote Bad Boy Buggies before a NASCAR audience of millions,” said Kevin Holleran, president of Bad Boy Buggies. “Given their love of hunting and the outdoors, Richard Childress and Kevin Harvick are natural spokesmen for our brand and our unique line of utility vehicles for today’s outdoorsmen. We know our fans will appreciate seeing that familiar Bad Boy Buggies logo on the No. 29 Chevy Impala’s hood as Kevin takes it to the front at one of NASCAR’s most historic tracks.”

Harvick has a strong history at Bristol Motor Speedway. He has earned one win (April 2005), nine top-five and 12 top-10 finishes in 21 career Sprint Cup Series starts. He’s also earned five victories, two poles, 13 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes in 21 Nationwide Series starts and three top-10 finishes in four starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

“Bringing Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies together on our No. 29 Chevrolet honestly fires me up and gets me thinking about this fall’s hunts,” said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. “Bill and I are such great friends and hunting partners, and we’ve spent many hours together on a Bad Boy. Of course, Bill has Harvick hooked on hunting too, so this paint scheme really means a lot to everyone involved.”

Bad Boy Buggies has teamed with Bone Collector to create a Limited Edition Vehicle. This specially equipped Bad Boy Buggies XTO is limited to production run of only 500 units.

The Bone Collector Limited Edition XTO was designed in consultation with Bone Collectors Michael Waddell, Nick Mundt and Travis “T-Bone” Turner, and sports numerous features selected to enhance the vehicle’s utility in the field – and just make it a cooler ride.

Production of the Bone Collector Limited Edition XTO will be limited to only 500 units. Each unit will include a numbered, commemorative plate on the dashboard noting its status as one of the few Bone Collector units produced.

“As a longtime partner of Bad Boy Buggies, I’m excited for our fans to be able to experience this vehicle,” said Michael Waddell, professional hunter and guide, and star of the “Bone Collector” television series on the Outdoor Channel. “Bad Boy Buggies have changed the way we hunt, and the special features of the Bone Collector XTO will only enhance the usefulness and fun of the buggy as we use it all over the nation filming the show.”

In addition to the 4x4 electric capabilities, four-wheel independent suspension, 1,200-lb payload capacity, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, four-person seating, and Realtree® AP camouflage that are standard on every Bad Boy Buggies XTO, the Bone Collector Limited Edition also includes the following new features, many selected in concert with the Bone Collectors themselves:

• A specially designed roof with integrated cargo rack lowers the vehicle’s profile, making it easier to load and unload gear.

• Front-mounted LED spotlights shine brightly in the Bone Collectors’ signature lime-green – a shade outside of the visible light spectrum of deer and many other game—allowing the vehicle to take to the trails in low lighting conditions without spooking its prey.

• Lime-green LED work lights illuminate the vehicle’s cabin, allowing hunters to grab gear, and prepare the day’s hunt in low-lighting conditions, without alerting game.

• The vehicle’s winch is rated to 3,500 pounds – 1,000 pounds more than the XTO’s standard winch – and features a remote control that allows it to be operated from outside the vehicle’s cabin.

• A standard gun and bow rack allows hunters to easily and safely carry up to two rifles or bows into the field.

• The vehicle’s seats are custom-embroidered with the iconic “Bone Collector” logo. The same logo shines brightly in lime-green through a specially designed cutout in the vehicle’s front grill, which has been expanded to protect more of the vehicle’s front surface when it’s busy getting to the toughest honey holes.

• A comfort-grip steering wheel better absorbs the bumps of the trail for improved control and a more enjoyable ride.

• A serialized metal plate, mounted on each unit’s dashboard, denotes its place as one of only 500 Bone Collector Limited Edition XTO units produced.

The Bone Collector Limited Edition XTO will be available in August at select Bad Boy Buggies authorized dealers. For more information about the Bone Collector Limited Edition XTO, find a local dealer where you can reserve your unit, or to learn more about Bad Boy Buggies’ entire line of utility vehicles for hunting and outdoor lifestyles, visit www.badboybuggies.com.  More information is also available through joining the Bad Boy Buggies’ Facebook community at www.facebook.com/badboybuggies.
