There could be a million business reasons other than the vehicle itself that they switched vehicles/sponsors. But sound is less critical when deer are acustomed to it. I have actually seem sound increase deer movement when it becomes routine. The area we hunt is heavily wooded with train Tracks and gravel roads. When either a train or a school bus would go by tbe deer would come out from everywhere.I'd say figure out what conditions and terrain you'll need to use them in. Electrics do not compete with gas powered machines in rugged off road terrain or muddy bad scenarios. There's a reason Lee and Tiffany dropped Bad Boy Buddy's and now use Polaris SxS's. I watched them get stuck in mudholes in their Bad Boy buggy and wasn't long before they were sponsoring Polaris. It's not a coincidence.
John Dudley asked lee about movement and noise ect before amd during hunting season Lee told John that he drives through his property as often as possible meaning every day if he can on the side by side just to get the deer accustomed to it
