Default Ride report FST-800 at The Badlandz

I was down at Badlanz in Indiana this weekend and i had a chance to really test out the freshly built FST -800 V-Force. The first races were in a field, that extended about 400 yards long or about 1200 feet. This race included a Yfz-450 with major work that had , modified carb, intake, exhaust, cam mod , cdi , port and ploish, and i think he was running race gas by the smell of his exhaust. Also that was racing was my buds kfx-700 and a trx-450r. First two races i won, the third race i was dead even with the modified yfz-450 neck to neck all the way down the field.
Then later in the day, i was tuaghting this yfz-450 with the regular mods, exhuast, intake, etc.. i asked him if he wanted to race and he says to me, " My ol' man has that quad and beat him all the time by alot......" So, i say ok lets go... we raced three times and i walked him every time. This kid was speach less. The engine only has about 8-9 hours on it and is still getting faster. ph34r.gif

How do you think it will do in sand? I can picture you hopping on one, race it, then run over jump on the other and go again. You need to let me know how the two compare lined up.

The V-force will definantly loose to my kfx-450 because i raced the same modified yfz-450 with the p&p and i demolished him from the begaining to topend. When are you going to get the 700r.

I would get the TRX450 if I was going to get something else. Plenty of power and you can't beat how it rides. I played with my sons in the dunes and it was sweet. JMO So do you tow one quad behind the other over to race?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
