Will a stock Raptor, with 70% tread left on stock tires beat a piped 400ex w/paddles (in the sand)

Bing.
Maybe off the line or up a hill if the sand is soft. But other than that I doubt it. Too much displacement for us guys on our little 400's.

If you lean back and keep the front pretty light you might win in the long run...

Hey Tech, do you still have those paddles I could borrow.

Also, whos 400 is faster, top end, you or BH. (no BS) (who won the race when you guys went down?)

I just got my motor done, It has a fresh port and polish and valve job by Trinity, 416, 39mm carb, with full yosi system. I havent had the chance to race any raptors yet, but im fully confident i can atleast keep it close. I think in top end anything after a 300ft drag, the raptor has an advantage of pulling away. I think Raptors are 6 speeds, is this correct??
