keep the blazer dude. If u want to get more power add a pipe and some port work. With about 200-1000 bucks you can have a trailblazer that will actually be blazing. Add a pipe and reeds if u want to spend a little. if u want to go all out you can go porting, reeds, pipe, i think high comp piston. you can porting done for about 200 bucks and it will be well worth it.

 

I have friends and family members that have the quadracer one 250 and one 500 , they seem to have alot of engine troubles, but when they are running they are fast and fun, till you need to back them up , no reverse, Maybe you should pick up a used sport 400cc of power might hang with a 250 quadracer definetly not the 500.

 

I have owned the lt 250...A long time ago..That quad is outdated..Old and probably abused..Take that 2000.00 dump it into your t/b..And make it a rocket ship..HPD..Makes some kits for that machine..And well You can beat an automatic..Ride on!!!!!!!!!!

 

You dont have the power and speed because you dont have the right setup. The TB can easily be built to keep up with a 400 if not beatt. That DG pipe you have robs tons of power. The TB 250 has alot of power to be unleashed. Also the TB is much better on the trails and mud.

 

Yes...defenitly keep your 250...just put some money on it..somewhere I seen a hole kit on the net that cost around 1300...and lets just say that trailblazer was bad a*s. So just put a little bit of money in yours and you can defenetly find a new 250 trail blazer inside of your quad that is a meen machine

 

I sold my piped 02 TBlazer to buy a $1500 LT500 that I had to spend another grand on to get it running and driveable, and then rebuilt the whole shebang. Smartest thing I ever did. As far as the LT250, though, I think if you could spend that $2000 on your TB, you would be so much farther ahead. The LT's are dated (mines 17 years old), and an LT isn't as good on a trail as the TB. Less ground clearance, no reverse, the ride is nowhere near as nice, on technical stuff your clutch hand gets tired after awhile, and they need more maintainance than your Blazer.


Awhile ago on here there was talk of putting a 300cc reed valve jug on a 250 TB, but I didn't pay attention because I sold mine. That would give you a big boost in power. I agree with swapping out the DG pipe-all mine seemed to do was make more noise. HPD, Hot Seat, and RCR all have good pipe/spring combos, and any of them would make a big diff. over your current set-up.


I see in your sig your making new floor boards. If you wanna save weight, just mount up some footpegs instead (I think I read Banshee's feel the best), and maybe remove the starter and battery, and your oil injection system and run pre-mix. Less weight plus the added power of a good pipe and some clutch mods will make the TBlazer feel like a different machine.....Keep it!!

 

thanks alot guys for all the info so im going to keep my tb and just put some stuff in the thing when i get the money, and the dg pipe i know it doesnt add any power i bought it off of a friend for pretty cheap like 50 bucks or somthin like that and i just bought it to make it a lil lounder. the next thing im going to do is the clutch springs, then a exhaust porb from rcr, and i might do my own porting. i love my tb its my lil baby but it needs it to grow up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

as far as removing the starter im going to do that, b/c it doesnt work anyhow
and the floor boards i got them done and went to take pics but only got to take one
the batteries went dead ill get that one up and then others over the weekend
