I think if you can fit on a Blaster good and would rather not go with a 400 I would definantly do it. I dont know what the he11 the guy who said they arent good on trails was talking about. Blaster absolutely rock on trails. They are so small but yet so fast you can go really quick through the woods with ease. And also can climb any hill you have the ***** to try. Put 500 bucks in it and you would be competitive with the 400ex on top end and climbing ability. The Blaster shocks really arent really bad at all. I agree the brakes do stink but these machines dont break. I have rolled mine alot and it took 3 rolls just to bend the stock bars. If you can fit on one and would like to save some cash I would get the Blaster.

 

Well, I have a Mojave. Its completely bullet proof! Extremely reliable. If your going to be doing jumps of any size the stock shocks dont cut it. Saturday I was out riding and hit a decent jump, probably about 6-7' high and landed flat, it bottomed out big time (thought I was about to die [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ), I'm similar sized at 5'11" and 165#. It has reverse and I'm sure its as fast as the 300EX is. Geared very well and pulls threw all five gears like nothing (really needs taller gearing). It will hit most hills in 3rd opened up. So far its been great but I want more. I'm looking at the 400EX or the Cannondale Cannibal to end my constant desire for more horsepower and better suspension. I think I would look for a used 99-00 400EX, you can pick them up for just under $4000 sometimes and they look to be in good shape. Hell, maybe you'll find one with some aftermarket goodies all ready.
