Is the Blaster a good "slider"?
Does it handle pretty good?
Is it easy to handle and manuver in tight woods?
Is the Blaster pretty reliable?
Is it easy to throw around on the track and trail?
What is your favorite stunt to do on the Blaster?

I think tha blaster handles ok with stock tires but it is a different story if u get fast trekkers.I have had my blaster since feb. and i love it.i get kinda scared dumping into the gas when goin aroung sharpe turns because i only wieght 97lbs. i think my blaster can hang with most of the bikes out there in tight woods, except for tthe RAPTOR. there is no way.i would say my funnest stunt would be jumping it. that thing is so light you can get 10ft up in the off a little 4ft jump.i havent really had my blaster long enough to know if it is reliable but so far i have only had to get somthin fixed wit the clutch.

Blasters are great little wheelers, it will be extremely reliable if bought NEW, if you do not buy new try to find one thats in good shape and has an owner that actually has a clue and you should be golden. Keep it clean and do regular maintaince and it should last a very long time. They are very easy to throw around.. As for stunts I just started jumping it faitfully about a month ago, should have pics soon. Cant do any tricks in the air but I can get some air... Mabe by the end of the summer I'll be able to. I feel they have the best bang for your buck.

From what ive seen and heard they are good sliders(with better tires),handle good but are tippy, it is very easy to handle and manuver,and is reliable if you take care of it!Cant wait to buy mine!

Yeah, stock they are kind of tippy, you just have to use a little body english and throw that sucker around. I bought some douglas rims & blackwaters and it is not tippy whatsoever now, I think its cuz the rims are off-set? They do slide good, I like powersliding in 5th or 6th, its pretty fun, throw it sideways and put the hammer down..

Blasters are great little bikes, pretty reliable too, i raced a full season on the stock bore, but i blew the clutch. to make tehm better all you need is a good set of tires like the fast trekkers and it will handle any terrain, corner or anything you come across. if you need a little more power(who doesnt need more power) throw a pipe and silencer on there, slap a reed spacer on there and install an oil injector block-off and you'll get a noticable gain in power. i loved riding/racing my little blaster until i got a raptor and 250r, both for racing.
