Will my blaster outrun my friends polaris trialblazer 250. both are stock exept that i flipped the front wheeles on my blaster so now that it is wider it handles much better. Which would win in a drag race, handling, and wheelies? THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND I WILL TELL YA THE RESULTS AS SOON AS WE LINE THEM UP!!!

I think that the Blaster will win, stock vs. stock. I'm not sure since I have never seen them race, it's just a guess.

As for Handling, I'd have to give it to the Blaster as well. In really rough places where more ground clearance is needed then the Trailblazer might be better, but it's hard to say.

Wheelies depend in the riders. When I had a blaster I could wheelie it pretty good, but it took a lot of practice since it had a clutch. I'm not sure how "lively" a stock trailblazer is, but I don't imagine it has much get up and go. However, a friend of mine had a Polaris 300 Xpress four stroke, and he could ride some pretty good wheelies. The automatic is nice for wheelies if you can come to a complete stop before you attempt one. If you try doing it while going very fast, you won't be very successful unless it's modded.

I have a Sport 400 which I can ride LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG wheelies with. Much longer than I could with my blaster. However, the 400 engine obvioulsy has more punch than the little 250 Trailblazer.

Technically you could ride a really long wheelie with the polaris. You can actually flip them all the way back on the grab bar and ride them as far as you'd like. Can you do that on your Blaster? I never tried with mine.

Good luck.

My blaster is awesome at wheelies and i would assume that the trailblazer wouldnt be. The blaster would win in a drag race if they were both stock. The blaster seems like it would funner in trails.

I don't know...I consider myself an Average rider and I can ride really long wheelies on my quad. The automatic makes it a breeze, and you can concentrate less on shifting, and more on staying on the balance point of the quad. I can honesly say, that I can easily ride a 50-70 yard (maybe further, never measured) wheelie on my Polaris 7 out of 10 attempts. I do them on pavement, and I get a little nervous, so I can't ride them really long 100% of the time. However, like I said, I would think that would be hard to to with a Trailblazer since it's lacking power. But like I also said, you can stand them on their grab bars and ride them for as long as you want. I'm buying a Banshee soon, and the Polaris is up for sale, so I want to get some Videos of some wheelies. If anybody is interested, I'll post them on the net. Catch you guys later.

the blaster would totally smoke the trailblazer 2 of my freinds have tb's and i smoked them when mine was stock they handle allright but i like a blasters better and a trailblazer couldnt do a wheelie to save its life unless there was a tank on it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
