Default reliabilty banshee ? blaster

i miss the raving sound of my old two stroke. i know you can not compare these two quads but what about the reliabilty facter. which one can i count on more. like wont let me down when i need it most. say for exp. i am tinkern arund on it and im kinda far away far away from anyone and i come acrose a mudd hole and i get stuck and have to work it out my self. (iv done this many times before) i don't want it to die one me and not start or brake somthing like a chain. .. any info will be used wisely . thank you.

if you do regular maitenance on either of them they will both be reliable for you. cleaning the airfilter lubing the chain and greasing the a-arms and changeing the tranny oil once in a while.

I know that in the 5 years I have had my Blaster I have had less problems with it than I have in six months with my craptor. Besides regular maintenance and changes the tires, I havent done anything to it. I'm sure that with the proper care a banshee would be just as good.

my blaster is very reliable ive had almost nothing wrong with it and it is pretty old i also take my blaster mudding alot and it goes through most things but i always thought of a banshee as a racer rather then a mudding machine but thats just me. bolth of them will take care of you if u take care of them

if you ride your quad hard do NOT get the blaster... i have rebuild that engine 4 times already ... nothing maintence wise was wrong the cheap pistons just burn out.. the blaster is not very dependable if you ask me. get a banshee
