Default one last time. scrambler 500 verse 400 acceleration not top speed.

subject sums it up, whihc one is faster acceleration wise? drag race or quick sprint.

soory to keep doing this I am taking my road trip this weekedn and the dealer no longer has 4 in stock but 2. one 400 2x4 one 500 2x4 since I plan to buy which ever is in better condition, I want to be sure the 500 will live up to what I want from it.

just plan fast and fun, I have a good trail machine.

the 400 will walk away from the 500 easily,once the 400 reaches top speed the 500 will start to catch up but wont pass it..

For acceleration 400 all the way, put a pipe and clutch kit on it and say bye bye to the 500!

i must say the 2x4 500 is faster than the regular 4x4,but
the power to weight ratio is better on the 400 so it accelerate
quicker and the fuji 2 stroke is at home on the power department.
500 is 38 hp,400 is 36 hp.the 500 have stronger low end grunt but that it.

The 400 by far. It out accelerates big time. My neighbor has a 500 and we constantly lined up when we were both stock. Same results every time. Mine (400) flat out pulled harder all the way up to top speed. You wont be disappointed with either one[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

thanks guys. I talked to the dealer earlier today and he advised the 400 needed a new batery but starts first kick. He also was not opposed to checking the compression in front of me. If it reads 130psi or higher I am game.
