Why not spend the money pumping up the blaster to do wheelies. One of the people that dune with us has one and its a wheelie machine. If not, a raptor will give you all the wheelies you can stand.

The best quads for wheelies are the 400ex and the Raptor, hands down.I have a Raptor and have owned a 400ex and I feel that the 400 balances a little better than the Raptor, but the Raptor can pull a wheelie easier than the 400 and at greater speeds. Once you find the sweet spot on either quad you will be able to ride a wheelie as long as the road is straight.

ok listen to this. i ride a 400Ex all the time. its true its easy to do wheelies. but, this guy i know has a blaster and i think its easier to ride wheelies on that. i'm used to the 400 but i got on the blaster and was riding wheelies longer than i have on anything else i have ridden in less that 5 minutes. the only thing is the stock grab bar is a peice of crap and it bent up from getting on it and it wasn't even hard. i've seen many other blasters like this so i'd get a new grab bar before i start pullin huge wheelies (hey thats cheaper than a new quad). here's the easiest way to do em on the blaster. put it in second gear, with the cluthc pulled in sit near the back of the seat. pop the clutch and give it about 3 quarters throttle (may be more or less depending on your weight and where your sitting) its easy to find the blance point. hit the gas and get it there. then let off and then blip it again to keep it up. just keep doin that and you can ride forever. usually the revs will be low enuff to keep it in second but you may need to shift into third. when that happens you gonna need to lean really far back (maybe even off the seat) to keep it up. hope i helped ya.

Hey I was thinking of getting a polaris magnum 325 and I wondered how this handled. It looks pretty powerful so tell me how easily can this beast pull up the front tires.

Hey man~
That 325 Magnum is quite a powerful machine! I've seen it blast by banshees on many occasions! Put this machine in 4wd reverse and you could ride a wheelie on the front tires all day! That's the kind of powere it's putting out. I've not had the chance to ride one of these rockets, but someday I'll get my chance!

(Note the sarcasm in this entire post)
