Getting a new quad for my son...but which?

Hey whats up i bought 2003 Blaster about two months ago and i traded it for my 2004 honda recon es. Definatley a great quad although i had engine problems within the first two weeks of buying it so i am currently rebuilding the whole bike. Look at the mods I put in below. Anyways yea greast quad and no regrets(the engine trouble was my fault) Hell yes they a upgradable i am putting in a stoker crank and all wiseco performance parts in my engine and its gonna be a hell lot faster and gonna have alot more torque. My input in this forum topic is hell yea go woth the blaster but def. at least an 03 the hood looks beeter and the brakes are better and easier to maintain bro.
 
rappy 250 has the raptor beat, ill say it over and over, ive ridden both extensively and the rappy is a much better all around machine
 
oh def a blaster!! come on man you are on a blaster site, but he is right he will grow into it and can keep it and make it faster the older he gets
 
im 13 and we got three blasters one that im planning on racing and another that we got a great deal on it was 500 but the piston blew and a chunk fell and locked up the krank. thats one of the problem with blasters the stock pistons arent the best, and the rear brakes arent the best eather, i had a bad problem with the brakes so my dad put some banshee brakes on there, wasnt easy. but other than that there great quads.I:I
