Would a +4, +6 or so swingarm really make that much difference? Are they used for keeping the front end of the Raptor down or the whoops? I just can't see how +4 forward can change the centering by that much?

Hopefully you can beat a 250 ex, since you can barely beat a 400ex...For now..

Selector, I believe the deal with the +4 swing arm etc is to keep the front end down on take off and be able to stay on the gas the whole time. It will also help you by lengthening the quad so you can skim across the top of the whoops better without sinking in each valley as bad. JMO

It will keep the frontend down but could be more of a hand full if the suspension isn't right. Longer also helps you go straighter. But I'm no expert when it comes to suspension.

I ask that cause I can't really tell if many of you guys in the t-day vids were running them, but that one skinny kid in the MariovsSparks vid sure has a long swing arm and his quad barely comes off the ground and it shoots a huge roost.
