Default What is a good project quad??

I want to start a project quad for myself, I would like to modify it for the dunes. I want a quad that is not too expensive to build. My choices are Banshee or 250R, I know a shee will be faster, and have more power with the twin. I want to be able to beat a stock Quadzilla, so I know engine mods are gonna be a little heavy, I am not in a rush to build it, I will take my time and do things right. I know I can do this, I've worked on quads for over 6 years now, I'm no punk teenager I'm in my 20's so I'm not spending mommy and daddys money like some people on here. What do you think is a good project quad?? Thanks for any info.

i would pick the banshee only because ifs a great quad to upgrade and itsa bit faster than the 250r. plus i think it looks better.

Yep, modded banshees are neat. But there are a LOT of them.
Im thinking of maybe a 700 or 800 twin polaris sled engine in a scrambler frame[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

that would be a very nice project and would smoke anything if you do it right

Now that would be cool, theirs lots of sleds up here in Canada.

that 650 motor would only make it slower than a 450 motor
