Default good for hillclimbing?

i have a 02 blaster, stock. and Ive heard that the blaster LOVES to flip when climbing a hill. im terrified to death of the quad flipping on me, because i dont have the money to fix whatever would break. how easily does the blaster make hills, and how easily does it flip?

The short wheelbase and light front end may make it more interesting to climb hills. Start out with climbs you feel comfortable with, then gradually work to steeper/more technical climbs. Make sure you have a buddy with you, just in case. Momentum is your friend in almost all cases. The big thing here is you need to be fluent in controlling the machine. Use body weight over the handlebars, briefly slip the clutch, or even tap the rear brakes if the front end starts to come up.

momentum is your only friend with the blaster. I had one and the thing was so gutless I didn't worry about it breaking if it flipped because I couldn't get it that high up.
