How Fast can you make Blasters with all the mods

[Michael0731]

my 01 blaster needs a new clutch just got 1 on eBay, and i don't know if mine was slow normal or fast.
It top out at around 50mph is this fast or slow, and if its slow how can i make it faster.
I all ready got my engine bored out to the max.
And Whats mods will help in performance the most for the money.

uhh... 50 is slow... they do like 56-58 stock... 14 t front will take that to 62? 64??

 

[Michael0731]

whats a 14 t front? and why is mine so slow i have no mods on it just the engine bored out?

14 tooth front sproket.

 

[Blaster200boy]

What size tires do you have on there? and has the sprockets been messed with????? If they have, its been made to go slower....and if you bored it out all the way, and thought that would increase power, it only increases piston size 2.25mm....making it a 68.25 bore....im only on my 67.00mm bore and mine runs around 65 or so....

....im only on my 67.00mm bore and mine runs around 65 or so....

when it runs.... lol j/k bro... but yeah... if you have 18s on it with stock gearing that will slow it down.. accelration will be better but top end is lost... or if the previous owner dropped to a 12t front.... alot of people drop to a 12 for tight trails

hmm makes me wonder what i could do with 20s and a smaller rear sprocket. you wont ever get flat out fast with a blaster. quicker yes, long run top end fast no

 

[Blaster200boy]

In order to gear for higher speed, unless you wanna ride your gears out a long time, you have to have the power to do it! That's why im afraid i would loose too much power if i put 22's on with my 14/40 gearing.....i lost alot of it when i had Mudlites and 13/40 geaing, but mudlites are a pretty damn heavy tire....and the mudlites were also mounted on some really old heavy rims off of a moto 4....

when u say losing power....do u mean top speed power or bottom end.........22" tires used with 14/40 will give u a faster top speed......bigger tires always give a little more top end

As fast as light

 

[Michael0731]

I have a 13 tooth front sprocket and a 40 tooth rear sprocket.
For Top speed it would be 14t on front and what should my rear one be?

And for fast acceleration it would be 12t on front and what should my rear one be?

In probably just gonna go with acceleration cause i mainly do a lot of trails/muddling and don't really race, but if the sprockets are cheap ill get a set for top speed and acceleration. But yea what would be the best set up for both top speed or acceleration.

 

[blasterdude14]

12t front stock rear would be fine, blasters accelerate rather fast you first gear won't even be needed

 

[Michael0731]

i have 8in aluminum Douglas wheel rims with 18X10 Razor maxxis tires on rear and 10in aluminum Douglas wheel rims on front with 21X7 Razor Maxxis tires

Dont know anything about tires/rims but while back i was trying to sell my blaster and a guy offered me $500 for my rims and tires with his stock rims and tires.

i run 18 inch turf tamers and i just put on a 14tooth and 40 rear sprocket and i wouldnt go back to 13 in the front...i ride mainly trails not too much top end..but for trails its good it spreads the gears out just a little more than the 13...your not shifting gears near as quick...just my 2 pennies

 

[murderedblaster]

i have 13 in the front 42 in the back...... I HATE IT! Gonna go with the 14/40 see how that works out.... feels like i'm in sixth while my boys are still in 4th and 5th....

 

[J4M1E333]

i run 21" turf tamer type tires with 14/40 gearing and like it, yeah you lose a little power down low but keep it on the pipe and I:I

If someone offered you $500 PLUS their wheels in trade THAN YOU BETTER FIND HIS NUMBER CHASE HIM DOWN, TAKE THE DEAL AND S HIS D because that's a deal and a half. your exact wheel set with tires is my spare winter setup that I paid $100 for everything and beat the hell out of them, the douglas rears are an odd size and bulky rims I personaly hate them other than they look nice and shiny. And you can buy a great set of used ITP front and backs with Holeshot tires for less than $200 a dime a dozen my way, than sell your stocks for $100 on craigslist. Youd have way better wheels with a way wider stance, and have hundreds of dollars in your pocket. Man I wish someone would offer to buy mine, I was practically trying to give them away at one point

Whatever you do with sprockets replace both and the chain.

Many a new sprocket/chain have been stuffed by mixing and matching old with new.

The chances of chain breakage and case/human limb damage is drastically increased by mixing old with new.

I modded my blaster to run on dilithium crystals, and i had it up to warp 1 in 3rd gear before i hit a tree! Well i think it was a tree? lol JOKE!!!!!!
