Like I said, that was the only close-to-a-comparison I had between the Blaster and 300ex.
Yeah, my Rincon wheelies like it was kids stuff. It has no problem pulling the wheels off the ground, in a drag race I have to sit on the gas tank to keep it from coming up too high. And yes, the Rincon is just like an SUV, it has a powerful engine, automatic, 4wd when you need it, and great handling with the IRS. Most people just slam it because it can't mud like the others, because they don't realise that it wasn't made to mud.

But it can probably still do good in mud though right? I was goign through mud one time (not a lot of it, but enough to get you stuck if you weren't careful) with my 250trx and I got through. I drove right into it in 2nd gear and I had enough torque to shift into third. I got it into third and it really spun but I was losing power fast. What did I do to solve this problem? I pushed down on my shift lever and it immediately popped into 2nd gear and I had all the power that I needed. I made it out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Looking back on times that I've riden through mud, I always wish I had 4wd. There may not be a lot of mud, but 2wd isn't enough. Maybe if I had a FWD 2WD ATV...now that would be interesting...

Yeah, it can do good in the mud if you want it to. Just not as well as the other ones that were made to mud.

A front wheel drive ATV wouldn't work. It would just spin out all the time, just like when you put your 2wd into reverse it spins out very easy. In a FWD car it spins out easier than a RWD car but has all the engine weight up front to keep traction. It's not like that on an ATV, all the weight is in the middle.

Oh ya, an ATV is MR (middle engine, rear wheel drive).

I can never get the answers to my questions in a thread that I create. Here is my latest question:

Is it possible to somehow play with the transmission to change the gear ratios?

Of course it's possible, but do you know any companies out there that sells parts for the Rincons transmission? I don't. I wouldn't want to even mess with that stuff anyway, all those parts would get confusing unless you really know what your doing. lol
