When I first came on the forums it was gary660ccr that suggested to air up the tires on the raptor so when I leave our place they are aired up to over 6 psi and I just haven't had a flat or just lucky.

You sound lucky, Chet.
both kids ahve raptors, and none of them have the radials on them anymore. too many flats.
lotsa sharp rocks here, volcanic and otherwise.
but i do like the way it handles with the XCT tires. plus a hair more clearance which yes, you will notice.

have fun!

.and i seem to remember DW saying something to thr effect that my blaster is faster and better than my raptor cuz its cheaper. whew
.heres an idea.......let's market gag kickstands for raptors with a name similar to DW on it?
xmas idea????? hey, the chinese wouldnt hesitate.

hey Rob, thinking about 4 corners tomorrow...a couple friends are going out...yes I'll bring my big fold out canopy in case it rains. But imagine those trails!!!!! and the groomers just got done out there yesterday!!!! yes! i'll pm ya my phone #

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH yeah: the reason yer radials hold up better is cuz their in the garage!!!!!

I'll vote yes for flipping easily, backwards if thats what your talking about. My 200 pound *** cant even hold it down. With the few mods that I have, I am forced to begin drag races that have the berm style takeoff. If its totally flat I'ts not even worth trying to race.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Delta, just lean over the gas tank almost as if you were checking the front tires and pin it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I heard with some mods the motor really comes to life, But the guy that my friend got his z from told us that he almost got killed on one because it got to tipsy on the trails, he woulda bought the raptor if not hearing that from him and a few other people, needless to say he loaded a z on the truck isntead the raptor.
