Do you want the best hillclimber starting from a standstill at the bottom of the hill, or do you want the best hillclimber with a run at the hill?

either way i think it go: Scrambler, 400ex,(wolverine with no run or warrior with run), 300ex, trailblazer.

scramble: approx. 65MPH
400ex: Around 67mph
wolverine: ???
300ex: 50-55mph
trailblazer: around 45-50mph
Warrior: 60-65mph??

I agree with yamahagye, but I think the 400ex would beat a srcrambler with a run.

Do you mean steep hills? I'm guessing you do.

If so all I can say is I wouldn't want to climb many bigs hills with my 400 cause the front of that thing is so light. It's controllable, but still very light. Maybe with an extended swing-arm it would be okay.

I think I would go with a Banshee or a 4x4 Scrambler (Preferably the 400 Scrambler).

i can tell you that the scam 500 4x4 is not better than the warrior at hill climbing in either way (stand still or a run at) it is the weight of the scramy that holds it back. the 4x4 part only helps if it is slick or alot of big rocks and logs and on my warrior i can do the same if i keep my momentum. i am not saying that the warrior is better more like equal except in the 4x4 catagory, duh

I would say that the first would probably be the scrambler being that its a 4x4 plus its got the most power in the group, it is probably unfair to put that in you should of said the scrambler 400 but thats alright. Second would be the wolverine, third the 400ex, 4th the warrior, 5th the 300ex and last and least is the trailblazer.

Are we talking with sand tires?
They should put paddle tires front and back on 4x4's for drags. That would be great.

i am pretty sure that the srambler has the same hp as the 400ex and it is close to 700lbs so it takes every bit of that power to get it to move. the 400ex is faster that the scramler also because my warrior will hang with it until the very end. plus all the other quads are manual and that might better in some cases.
