You guys that stand up for the blaster must have not ever really put anytime in on a 450 or a 400 for that matter. The ride is somuch smoother, the power delivery is so much more reliable, the torque is out of this world, and the list goes on and on. I agree with you guys about having unique blasters, thats the only real reason I have kept mine this long is cuz I feel its unique to others but damn WHY do we keep having this argument over and over?
" Uh yea hi guys I want to beat my friends new 450! So Im going to say Im going to do all this motor work and new tires and beat him right?"
NO WRONG! You have no idea how much money it will take! if you want to beat him go buy a similiar quad. I have only seen maybe 3-4 for blastys that could keep up with lightly modded 450 on a dirt drag strip that had at least 15000 in their setups. And yes they were really dam fast! But lets be serious they really weren't blasters anymore and were a huge money pit. There is only so far and fast that little motor can push you down a track. The 450's engine builders are still making large advancements each season in finding more power.
Go watch some venom yfz's and tell me what you think. Just youtube it or find some videos from any of the last 5 sandfest.
