    Welcome to UTVRepair.com’s Shop Showcase, where we check out some of the best SXS shops in the industry and show off their builds

    Tucked back in the hills of Fallbrook, California lies Raceco-USA inc. a high end fabrication shop that specializes in transforming Honda Talons into race-winning machines. The owner, Jamie Campbell combines his 30+ years of desert racing experience and high end race car building to turn the Talon platform into a bombproof asset that can tackle the Baja 1000 without compromise. You’ve probably seen Campbell’s Talon builds winning races like Vegas to Reno, the Baja 1000, and the San Felipe 250 and are wondering what it takes to transform an ordinary Talon into something strong enough to conquer hundreds of miles of rough terrain at high speed without failure. That’s where Raceco’s fusion of high end materials and expert fabrication come into play. They design a whole range of components for the Talon platform ranging from Steering racks to trailing arms to ensure the Talon won’t crack under pressure.

    Raceco’s most recent build comes in the form of a Prerunner built for Baja. The customer, Larry Janesky of the Into the Dust film series, needed a UTV that could handle the varying terrain of Baja and be reliable enough to take him through it without issue. That’s where Raceco and the Talon truly shine. With Honda’s 6 speed dual clutch transmission, and fitted with Raceco’s components. The platform has proven to be a winner in terms of reliability and agility.
