Would the Quadzilla be a good stunt Quad?
 

Just wondering whether or not the Quadzilla would be a suitable stunt vehicle as in Wheelies, stoppies, several riders...
Been using my buddies Z400, it is the only thing I would understand a comparison to...

Since I have never ridden the lt 500 i'm wondering how manuverable the Lt is compared to the z400, how is the weight, balance, power in comparison... Being a 500 Single, two stroke I can only imagine...

Would really appreciate any feedback,
Tired of begging my friend and ready to get my own.

Very Descriptive?

Is there any reasoning behind your resounding No?

Two strokes arnt good for stunts because of the tricky power-band.

500cc 2-stroke just wouldnt be the best for stunting

nope it wouldnt be a stunt quad. its really long which makes it harder to deal with in a stoppie and the massive power on it makes long controled wheelies a real chore. the power isnt even enough to ride it up there without a lot of practice. a 4 stroke like a 400EX or a Z400 are your best bets for stunting in my opinion.

Its no so much the engine as much as chassis design. You would be better off wtih an LT250R because of the better geometry and lighter weight.

It certainly isnt because "two strokes have a tricky powerband." While a fourstroke would be better for low speed manuevers, the two stroke certainly isnt unuseable. Ever watch the huevos movies? You can do all kinds of air stunts and a few low speed ones too. The zilla engine itself wouldnt be all that bad if you had it in a good frame.

LT 500,s are great for stunts last year at gordons wells my friend Keith did a butt buster on his and a few hours later he did two cartwheels.

i can ride wheelies pretty far on my Zilla. once you find the balance point its not too hard.

Not as much worred about the power as I can clutch pretty good... More interested in the balance and manuverability how about riding on sides or wheelie ing with a rider on the front or back... Is power linear or gobs at certain spots on the powerband... is it bigger than the Z400 are there any tricks to getting better balance.... I have seen some people put the 500 engine on the 250 frame would that be better for stunting... I have a shop so anything is possible...

I just don't see spending $5000 on a new quad when I can build one for $2000 that would be custom and badass...
