I really want to know just how good a Blaster is in the mud. I mean I dont expect to go swamp riding or anything, but around here when it rains it can get pretty slippy in the woods. There are a few places where I have to cross a stream and then up a small bank to get out. Nothing major, i know it would be able to do it. My main concern is there are 3 places where it is just mud. Not deep mud but it goes for about 6 feet or so. It had my friends Rancher and Foretrax 250 spinning to get out. I got stuck on my ACT Honda 250sx. only becuase i hit a rut and almost tipped it. Anyways, how good is the Blaster in semi muddy conditions and steep unhil climbs? Should I wait and save my money for a trail quad? BTW I am 15 and kind of limited on funds.

Just get the blaster and have fun. It will surprise you what it can do being that it is so light. And also if you do get stuck you can just step off and pick it up out of the mud [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

A blaster with stock tires will suck in mud. Get a set of realtors for it. My friend has those tires and it seems like his blaster is impossible to get stuck.

ground clearance hurts the blaster in mud just like any other sport quad.
of course you can add taller tires and get more clearance but you'll also hurt performance.

also 1 other thing about blaster the brakes suck bad espically after going mudding with it.
