it would be hard as he!! on you.. the suspension will bottom out and you will feel pain for a lil bit. better off buying a used raptor POS with a good engine and frame and then pay the extra to add a whole bunch of mods:
Axle
A-Arms
Shocks....

well a stock machine won't do well mx'ing, as you need to mod it up for that kind of stuff. also, since the raptor is narrow, you may experience tippyness riding fast on the track.

change that to +3+1's and subtract the extended swinger......that just makes it steer slower..........

and get u some good zps shocks.......and you won't believe the difference....made a HUGE difference on my former craptor...
