Im in the market for a Zilla for hillclimbin and i just need to ask some questions. How easy do these quads stand up on hills? Can banshees hang with them? How many accessories are out there for them?

 

I trail ride mine a lot up some prety treacherous mountains & hills here near Las Vegas. It climbs like a demon but remember it is not a 4X4. I'm not sure what your skill level is but I would guess that it has a more controllable powerband than a Banshee. It also makes a lot more torque than a banshee and only weighs about ten pounds more. It climbs hills easier than my LT250R due to the higher torque acros the powerband.

 

Check out "Heuvos III". There's a couple all black Zilla's that make the hillclimb look like an ant hill......There's also a sweet-A$$ Banshee that wheelies up and takes a helluva digger.......But yeah, the length and width of the quad, torque from the power valve and rotational mass of a 499cc single, and a meaty powerband from idle to whatever RPM it'll rev to make a Zilla a good candidate for hillclimbin' excursions.....

 

LOL fasternu thats the place im hillclimbin. I've been up there a couple times with my brothers banshee. That banshee that rolled was called the dragon slayer it was all chromed out, custom air brushed plastic, etc. you get the picture. Lets just say he got put in his place that day. I took third that day on my bro's 98 banshee. He sold it that's why im lookin at the quadzilla's. Those quadzilla's on the video are brothers from WV. There team is called moonshine racing. There quadzilla's are FAST!

 

Well I'll be darned..............Cool[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Do you guys think $2000 is a good price for an 89 Quadracer 250. It's in good shape.

 

i don't know about the quadracer specifically, but if it's truly in good shape, it's about what i would expect to pay. if you have a chance to look at it ahead of time, look it over good for small things that add up like:

axle bearings
swing arm and bearings
a-arm bushings and bearings
wheels (look for dings/dents that might not let the tire bead correctly)
braking system and rotors
air box and filter
chain and sprockets
etc.

i know these are small things, but they can all add up pretty quickly. if you find some of these things, maybe he could drop a little on the price.

jmo. good luck.
