i have a blaster right now but i getting rid of that( not enough power or speed). I do alot of jumping 6-9 feet of jumping, mostly ride sandpits. I need to beable to do stunts on it like wheelies and that sorta stuff. also alot of hillclimbs around 70ft witch would be an over all good quad for me.



PS witch would win stock in a 300ft drag on sand and pavment



thanks for the helps guys

 

the banshee is probobly a little faster, but the 400ex has way better handling, suspension, better wheelier, more reliable, ect. and IMO i would take all of that over a few mph speed.

 

yeah but the banshee is way quicker, way way quicker. i think the banshee has better suspension to. the 400ex rides kind of rough and doesn't seem to land quite as smooth as the banshee. 400ex=Wheelie King

 

banshee would win in sand and pavement i believe and hill climb i think it would win banshee suspension is also better then the 400 but 400ex does wheelie much better haven't rode a banshee but rode a 400ex and they pick up easy from what i have heard banshees are so great for wheeleing

 

WTF ARE YOU GUYS SMOKING?!?!?! Banshee suspension sucks a$$! The 400ex handles WAAAAAY better but it is alot slower, especially in stock form. The banshee doesn't wheelie too well either, I mean, it will wheelie but it's not really a wheelie machine. Fastbansheekid: Do you have shocks on your 400ex? The 400ex rides smoothe as hell compared to the jarring, twitchy ride of the banshee.

 

420 hit it on the head.........you'all must be in the same room with that smoke. Yes the Banshee is fast, and in my opinion is in the top 3 sand machines.......but if you are UPGRADING from a blaster and want to do the things you mentioned go with he 400. I'm affraid the Shee will hurt you.

 

i think there is something wrong with my shocks cuz they suck. the ride is jarring at low speeds, jumpy at high speeds, and lands rough on jumps bottoms on ocasion. i've been working on ajusting the rear suspension and it is fine now. but my fronts is where i'm having problems. i'll amit the banshee doesn't have the best suspension but it feels like it can go through rough stuff faster and more stable (the longer wheelbase helps alot) the 400ex handles more predictable but it is a lil more tippy than the lower sitting banshee. this is all what i figured out considering i own both machines. oh yeah the 400ex wheelies soooooo sooooo much better than a banshee. for the original question i would say go with the 400ex. also no1 mention how reliable they are.

 

definately the banshee, for trails id go with the 400, but since you do mostly sand riding, the banshee is perfect for hillclimbs

 

keep the replys comeing and oh yeah the 400ex it manual right because if its auto cluch i dont think i want it..... also witch is better for jumping

 

yes the 400ex is 5speed manual clutch. i feel better on the banshee jumping but the 400ex is lighter and more tracable.
