Default what should i get? a blaster or warrior

whoops sorry
i am trying to decide whether i should get a blaster or a warrior.
it will be shared between me and my brother. i am 6 foot 140lbs and my brother is 6'3" @165 lbs.
it will mainly be ridden around the house and in some woods and train tracks at my friends. i also would like to know which one will be more maintenence and which is faster. also which would produce the most useable power.
we plan on selling the recon es for 2800 and getting something bigger but dont want to spend too much
thanx for any replies as it will be very helpful

Warrior would be better fit for you due to its bigger size. With a blaster though if you sell you recon for 2800, you could probally pick up 2 used good condition blasters for around 1400-1600. I know ive seen some 95 blasters around my area for 1200 a piece.

I think a wolverine is pretty much a warrior w/ 4 wheel drive, but then you miss out on the fun w/ 2wd, it's up to ya'll go w/ what ever suits ya

i dont kno anyone who is selling but u should definately get the warrior considering ur 6 ft tall and the blaster is a pretty small bike but if u wanted 2 blasters for $2800 u should go with that so u and ur bro dont fight over who gets to ride next lol

Default what should i get? a blaster or warrior or wolverine

im looking to get maybe two blasters for around 1600 a piece or maybe a blaster for me and a warrior for my brother. see hes lookin for a car now because hes turning 16 in april and hes wantin to get something fast. he thinks he should also have a fast atv as well. the warrior and blaster have about the same top speed right? i dont mind taking it apart every once in a while but i still dont want to do it 24/7. the only quads ive ridden are four strokes and im kind of wanting to experiment with a two. another thing is that since my dad bought the recon for us and for "chores", my mom got mad at him. she said we didnt need one and that it was a waste of money. im tryin to convince her that we would both have one of our own and we wouldnt always be fighting over it. i can drive a standard car and quad and i like having the clutch. please if anyone has any hints on how i can win over her good graces, please give them to me. the wolverines kinda outa the question because of $$$. even though i really want one, i would rather have my own

i just got off the phone with a friend of mine who has ridden both a stock and a piped,jetted,etc. blaster. he says thhat theyre good quads and that it would be plenty fast for i do.

any and all posts are appreciated

i recommend the warrior for many reasons:

2wd = mad fun, although it wouldnt be able to take to mud like a wolverine
4 stroke: i own a 4 stroke quad and a 2 stroke bike, i prefer the 4 stroke
reverse: blaster has none
torque: blaster doesn't have much
ease of modding: parts are cheap and easy to find
4 stroke gas: don't have to worry about having 2 stroke oil constantly.
