I was ok with the raptor 250 untill I heard what dirtwheels had to say about it. They pretty much said how much better the 250 is than the blaster. They said that the 250s shocks were way better than the blasters, and I understand that. It doesnt take much to beat blasters shocks. But heres what pissed me off. They had the balls to say the 250 was faster than the blaster. And the other thing that pissed me off was they didnt stick up for the blaster at all, they focused on its flaws and didnt mention any of the things that we love about it. They also said that the 250 was a steal for the price. $3899!!! What a load of crap! I dont like ranting on the internet but im pretty mad right now.
