My first Blaster MX build!

You guys are all about the engine stuff. You kill me. I just want to be able to hit 60ft triples with confidence. I am not worried about the engine just yet. Who knows I might swap a bike motor in if the rules allow it. IDK. I am going to email the CRA, and see what their rules are for the Blaster class.
 
I have had 3 crxs they are my favorite. i have a b16a which i am putting 15 pounds of boost to. it is going to be nice. my blaster is stock but i am working on getting it ready to race in the spring so my crx project is on hold as well.

Whats with Blaster owners and CRXes, sheesh! :"> Anyway, I picked up the quad today. It was a decent deal. It's kinda rough, but I traded 2 subwoofers from where I work for it. They cost me $270 a piece(they retail for way more than that), so I got the Blasty for $540 basically. It's not really all that bad. The brakes suck, but as I mentioned before, I'll be picking up complete Warrior brakes for $100 next week. The upper A arm bushings are shot, so they will be part of my first plan of attack. Other than that, it's just scraped up frame, and non working lights, which I of course planned to remove anyway. My plan is to ride it this Sunday on my day off. Mix up some premix, and enjoy it, then when I use all the gas up, it is getting stripped down to the frame. Gussets will be welded, and provisions for the Raptor nerfs welded in. Then to the powder coater it goes. When I get it back it will get a +3 swing arm, +4 axle, and the +5 Snyder Motorsports A Arms. So basically my Blasty will get plus sized. It will also get some new tires, and wheels. This quad is the inspiration.

My build will incorporate allot of the same parts. Mine will be way less bling though. I am coating the frame black, the A arms will be black, the swinger will be black, the plastics, and the wheels, you guessed it black. There will be some bling, but no day glow colors, I am building it to be rather low key, and evil looking, just black, and polished aluminum, and chrome. Also I read through some rules for the CRA, and I'm waiting for them to call me back so I can ask all my questions. I found out I am limited to 50 width, other than that I am still waiting to hear more rules on the Blaster class.


This quad will be built in stages, and once all this is done, I am going to toss some 450R shocks on it for temp. usage. Then it will get practiced on allot so I can get familiar with the new quad. This will give me time, and money to work on my CRX project, and my Samurai project. Once they are done, it's back to shocks, for stage 2, and then motor build for stage 3, or possibly a swap if rules allow it. I am not sure though, I really like the simplicity of the air cooled 200cc power plant. It might just get bored, and stroked, if allowed by the rules.
 
nice choise. you koow that blaster is for sale, and you could have just bought the whole thing.

Yeah, but then I would have to powdercoat everything. and all of that. Besides, I enjoy building the stuff, just as much as ridding it. II don't like buying other people's stuff. I like building it and making it my own.
 
its a b16a i got if from hmotors with the hasport mounts and shift linkage. i am going to work on the engine some over the summer. the trans would be next and then suspension and body. i got the honda rust on the rear corners. but i am looking for a place to take my blaster to get the engine race ready if you know of a place where i can take it to get the head milled or anything like that let me know.
 
i to did have a crx... it was my baby... look at it now...

and theres a pic of my blasty with a 17' on it....
i loved that car
 
Wow, lots of CRXers on here.

Back to the topic. I got the quad running right now. It was weird it would rip hard and then whenever it wanted to it would bog. I tore the carb apart, and there was a couple 3-4mm chunks of crap in the bowl. Also my dad bought a Blasty and it had a FMF Fatty on it. He wanted the stock quiet exhaust so I swapped him, and gave him $100. I also took Jarred's advise and flipped my front wheels around. Huge difference. I also picked up some 112 octane, and mixed it 40:1, I should have a fun day with it today. Then the will get stripped down. My fuel petcock is shot, it leaks fuel when off, and I think the previous owner put way to much tranny fluid in. It leaks out the overflow like mad.
 
Just for the crxers on here. Here is my CRXes.

Daily Driver. On my way back to Ohio from LA. Hard to find rust free crxes here.

Can we get black to Blasters now, and just PM me if you need CRX help? I:I
 
have u changed ur jetting now that u have a pipe u dont wana blow it up

Ah, it's running perfect now. It pulls hard now, I was impressed. I wonder if the motor has work done to it. It runs way better than my dad's his needs jetted. It's running rich as hell. It was even with the FMF pipe. The only problem with mine now is the brakes are horrible, but I expected that.
 
Well I had a great day of ridding yesterday. The little Blaster is fun, and nimble. Really easy to throw around. Noticeably lighter than my 250R was. Sadly though something went wrong in the tranny, or kick starter. It will not kick over, and when in gear the wheels are locked up. So the cases got to come apart. At first I thought I seized the top end. Not the case though, in neutral I can spin the stator, and the piston goes up and down. The problem happened while kick starting it.

Not a big deal though because I planned on tearing it apart anyway, as I mentioned last week. I got it down to the bare frame, except the rear shock bolt was seized in so the reciprocating saw is coming out tonight. Once I get it off. I will bring the frame to work tomorrow for some gussets, hydro brake mount, and order the Raptor 660 Nerfs, so I can weld provisions on for them. Then off to the powdercoater it goes. I:I
 
my rear tire blew out and i was going way to fast, hit a bank bounced off hit a nother bank and stopped in a ditch... it was a bad night.. and btw crxbart.. nice rex, very clean
