ok heres my situtation. i was racing school boy class which is 91-300cc 13-15yo. and so comming this november, i cant ride in that class anynmore, cause i will be 16. not to mention i got wrecked in that class with my blaster. now there is no way i will be able to ride collage boy or c class with the way my blaster is now. and with all the mods it will take to makke my blaster even be able to compete with the 450's, i would be spending so much money, i would probs be able ot buy a new one. now i found a 400ex on craigs for 1600 obo, and i know a 400 will fit into my car.

so what should i do? sell blaster and buy stock 400ex, or what? the only problem is that if i sell my blaster, and the 400ex sells befor i sell mine, then i will have nothing to ride. and he wont trade.

I if I should do what I originally wanted to do which is fix it up, port it, +4 Timing head mod, carb, shocks and tires and race in c or collage boy.

why not do those mods and then do a race and see how it goes?

you would be better off with a lt or trx 250r then a 400ex if your lookin for something more affordable then a 450.

and i watched your videos. not sure if you're not hitting the jumps fast enough cuz your nervous, or if the blaster just cant get up to speed. but you were casing everything and you will be twice as fast if you land on the landings. not to mention the jumps will feel so much nicer, and it will be easier on the suspension.

its a little of both. im scared to hit them fully, cause with stock suspension, it hurts on the landing no matter if i land them rite or not. and the blaster is not getting up to speed enough to make all the jumps too. i also had no power to the blaster at all.

yea i was thinking about it all day today while working on it, and i think that is what im going to do.

Good Luck With your Decision , I Vote Build the Blaster and try it out , Another 400 You might like is the Suzuki Ltz400 , I Had one with 440 bbk and fully race ready with works up front and elka in rear , The Thing would fly , I kept up to my buddy on his mildly built banshee and he was kind of mad, Note i was keeping up with him on a Mx track !

A stock 400ex is gonna get stomped by the 450s.. once again lt250r set up can be had for under 1500.. i paid 1100 for mine with 45 min on total rebuild clutch cables, lrd pipe ported jug nerfs.holeshots, amd white brothers front shocks.. a lt is cheaper to get into than a trx250r and with a few changes will handle just as good

I would like to add that those few changes are free.

 

[Quadrider10]

well if i wined up buying another quad, ima go wit the lt250r. but for now, i have to work with what i have.

 

[4cfed]

I got my first lt250r.. by trading my 89 blaster for it.. all my blaster had was a durablue +4 axle lrd pipe front spacers renthol bars mxr front tires and turf tammer rears... lt was stock with a durablue +4 axle

 

[Quadrider10]

yea i might just do that. depends how everything goes and plays out.

 

[4cfed]

Throw a add.up on CL ' lookin to trade mx blaster for 87-92 lt250r'

 

[NOVIS]

yeah , you might get one of those guys that if you say its mx ready, they'll beleive it.

 

[Quadrider10]

id rather not now lol i might get convinced and have to follow through with the deal.

 

[4cfed]

You have nooooo clue how many adds i see that say mx ready due to tires nerf n bars... atlest.his is mx raced..... when i was thinking of sellin my lt i posted ' set uo for flat track'

 

[Quadrider10]

yea...... theres only like 3 for sale by me. not many. but idk if it will even fit in my car to get it home. so i would have to really look into everything.

if i was to sell mine i would list it as mx ready.


and quad rider, do you not use a trailer?

 

[4cfed]

I can list mine as ether, i have white brothers adjustable remote rezzie front shocks on it.. i have shocks fpr the front that are shorter for flat track, and a spin of the rear link lowers the rear

 

[Quadrider10]

if i was to sell mine i would list it as mx ready.


and quad rider, do you not use a trailer?

omfg! no i dont use a trailer! for the last time... i live in a freaking appartment complex! jeez i said this so many times!

 

[Quadrider10]

and listing as mx ready can go both ways.
1 "so all i have to do is go"
2 "well if he raced it, that means that it has been pushed and if its been pushed, then its morw likely to break on me"
