I can beat my boss on his 300ex with my 400 explorer(Polaris). My friend wants a blaster cause of the features for the price. Is the blaster good and can he beat the EX. I figured if my 600lb bike can than the 300lb. 2-stroke can?
Thanks fellas.

Yeah, the blaster's a good lil quad and should keep up just fine, and its got the 2 stroke hit that the 300 doesn't. it has a higher top speed by a touch as well.

Depends, what he wants.

I don't think that he is going to be racing a 300ex everytime he goes out.

If he wants a 2-stroke, doesn't want to spend a lot of money the blaster is perfect.

If he want's a 4-stroke, the 300ex is the best there.

Thanks fellas. I like the blaster too. I'll relay the info. to him. And yes to the question about racing the 300. It is a must out-run deal. Cause we hate our boss! Course, we could get fired. Owe well I need a vacation anyway.

If u like a 2 stroke go for the blaster. I have a 98 blaster with fmf pipes and silencer, wiseco piston, shredder tires, motion pro twist throttle, dg skids, boyeson pro series reeds and scott grips. i race at a local motocross track and i have beaten a lot of 300ex's a a couple warriors. I have had a little bit of motor trouble and my back brakes had to be fixed but other than that i love my blaster
