Well I've been toying with this idea for over a year now. I've been wanting to try my hand at racing quads. I have over 20yrs experience racing motocross(2 yrs pro) but non at all, when it comes to racing quads lol. I've always been a 2 stroke fan, and have always campaigned a 2 stroke if I had the choice. One of the issues I had when thinking about transitioning to quads was that I wanted a 2 stroke, yet all the race quads out there are 4 strokes. That left me with the option of a Trx or LT 250r. Good bikes, but I dont want a machine thats almost as old as me lol. That left me with the blaster. Far from a race machine, but it is a 2 stroke, I could get one fairly new, and does have some attributes that will make it a fun race bike when built. Well I pulled the trigger today and bought the newest/cleanest/cheapest blaster I could find. Its an '06 special edition thats been ridden lightly. Only mod it has is the oil injection block off. And I scored it for $1000. First impression... Holy smokes its slow compared to my piped and ported '94 I sold last year hahaha. Oh well, Its a nice clean slate for me to build from. This bike has to be done by mid february since the Quadcross series here starts in march. I'll post pics of the build as it progresses.
Plans are pretty much the usual race set up. +3+1 arms, +6 axle, +2 swinger, +3+1 stem, hot motor, etc. One thing that will be a bit different with this build is most of the work including a-arm and swing arm fabrication etc. will be done exclusively by me. Bonus of being a mechanical engineering major and having a fab shop to my disposal I:I
Anyway here is the stocker in all her glory.
