quad~dizzle Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 how was the action on the hills this weekend? who was fast, who was faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high octane junkie Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 my baby blue banshee ran well, i was excited to run it again. the baby pink banshee still needs to be figured out. another weekend of playing with the gearing and paddles and it'll be solved. ran well though, it's on the third season of the ground-up build and no issues (except for changing over to 35mm carbs recently and trying to figure out the right set-up) the white 700 raptor ran flawlessly this weekend, my friend rode it and i'm sure it won 0 races heh. (it's only pipe, filter, and controller) rhino ran good as well. i'll hopefully have the 734 raptor out there on veterans day, and it'll be atleast president's day weekend before i bust out the rx'd quadzilla.

Sand_YFZ Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 My 501 ran like a raped ape.I was really happy with it.The only single cylinder 4 stroke that beat it was the black 720 kenz raptor.Capt's Rappy was running much better.Looked like him and danny had some good races.Alot of fun over at the hill.I had my whole family with me so i didnt spend as much time over there as i usually do.

mineurbiz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Had a good time at the hill with Sandraptor, Aaron and Danny. I did not get to try Capt again, would have been fun. My bike pretty well, but still need to work on the setup and a few other things. I think my motor works well just need the other stuff to. Aaron's bike always seems to do well and Sandraptors bike was much faster this time out. But it was a fun weekend even if I did not do well.

CaptNkllm Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 ill bet your clutch got smoked on the dune ride before you shot over there actually last weekend i thought i felt it slipping... thought i was paranoid ... lol but also that ride was a hard 1.. Im sore Capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoleinVegas Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The dunes were so beat up, my Raptor 700 made me feel like I was on my 350 again. I had fun on mine and it did really well, just need to realize how much power I really have...and it can go up anything. The throttle needs to be adjusted big time...after a while I looked special riding trying to use the palm of my hand to push it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) My Zilla ran good at Amargosa. I wasn't the fastest at Comp Hill but I wasn't the slowest either. My five year old ITP paddles are worn out and the quad wouldn't hook up, so I think its time for some Skat-Track Haulers. I took one run out on the Z400 to the hills and had to go back to camp and get the Zilla. The Z400 is just too damn slow. I've been looking at turbos for it all day.

So what ya think of my new addition? "The cooler" is what I call it... lol Ya your bike is a runner for sure.I will regear mine and be back.iT should be capable of about 64mph with me on it for sure.It was still geared for the 480 and had plenty of torque and HP on tap to pull more gear.I ran it up the hill in 5th and it pulled 5th too I really like the torque of the BB stroker.We will do it again for sure.Good work on the stockbore!!

NicoleinVegas Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey do you guys know if maybe the ITP paddles I have on my quad, might be too small for the power? Cause on top of one hill they wouldn't hook up and just spun and got me stuck. Yeah that was embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_YFZ Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey do you guys know if maybe the ITP paddles I have on my quad, might be too small for the power? Cause on top of one hill they wouldn't hook up and just spun and got me stuck. Yeah that was embarassing. Well if Bert (sanddunesaddict) is selling his quads you might want to see if he would sell you his 21-12-10 9 cup Padla Brats.Those are awesome all aorund tires.U wont be getting stuck with those.Those would be perfect for your Raptor.The problem with molded tires like you are running is they are very heavy and dont float on the sand very good at all.Thats why the get buried so easy.The Padla Brats are taller and really light along with the 9 cups they hook up great and are really easy to turn because the light weight tire.The Brats dune really good too.Even if he doesnt sell his call Fullerton Sand Sports(714-484-5977)talk to Joe.If you already have a 10" wheel just buy a set of play cut Padla Brats.You could sell your sand stars on ebay to make up for alot of the cost of the new tires.If you want something a little cheaper cost wise get some 21x12x8 6 or 7 cup haulers.If you want really good duning tires the Sand Skates are awesome.Talk to joe at fullerton he will walk you thru it.Talk to bert too maybe he will cut loose with a set of his.Good Luck!!

mineurbiz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Hey Aaron, it was good getting beat by you and Danny again me and Scott were talking and thought maybe we could get you and Danny out and see if you guys wanted to do a day at the hill to do a little test and tune.
