Alot of my friends ride blasters at the dunes and they are awsome out there. it really unlocks some power if you pipe and jet it though. an extended swigarm is nice too because they are not that long.

I've never ridden one on the dunes, or anywhere else for that matter, but the Oregon dunes are just crawling with them. They must do alright.

Blasters are awesome in the dunes. I used to ride one around all the time. Stockers do alright, but a pipe and some other mods help alot. They aren't the fastest, but they are fun. And I personally think that they are one of the best sand trail quads made. I loved riding my Blaster in the trails at Sand Lake out here in Oregon.

I had that problem too.
See once sand gets inside your axle carrier it just spins with the axle and has no where to go, thus wearing out the bearings or axle. I took out my axle and bearings and had a greese fitting installed into the carrier. Even tho the bearings are sealed and the greese won't help them much, it still helps the inside or the carrier and protects it from the spinning axle or anything else that might work it's way inside.
