Default A few questions..

I currently have an 01' rappy and love the thing, although i am considering selling it. It is an 01' and the tranny is still running strong but i just have a feeling that i need to off it before it goes. If i do actually sell it i think im gonna invest in a 400ex, simply becuase i can't afford a new z400 and I can get an 01' or 02' here for a little over 3k with paddles and some mods. I have a few questions below before i make the decision...

1.) Is the reliability of a 400ex really that much better than a rappy?
2.) How does the handling compare?
3.) I cant recal if the 400ex has kick or elect. start? reverse?
4.) How well do they respond to mods?
5.) Acceleration? performance?
6.) How do they compare to something of the same cc's such as the Z400?

Im not trying to start a who's is better than who's match, just some help on what i should do.
Thanks for any info or opinions

1)Yes, they are one of the most reliable machines out there, IMO.
2) Great handling on it, you'll probably feel lower on the 400.
3)Electric Start. No reverse.
4)Not to sure on this one
5)they have decent power but will feel underpowered compared to ur craptor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
6)They are a little slower than a z400

400EX's are great machines overall.

1) Definatly most reliable quads there is
2) Great Handling, you'll be able to man handle the 400ex if u could handle ur craptor
3) Elec Start, No reverse...its so light you can swing it around easy
4) EXCELLENT Aside from a banshee a 400ex is the best thing to mod
5) Decent...craptor wins here.
6) You can smoke a z with $500 of mods
