It totally depends on what kind of riding you want to do. A +8 swing arm is absolutely ridiculous! Maybe for a full-on drag bike with 80-100 horsepower or for a strickly hill climber it might be useful... but for anything else it would ruin the handling.

+4 arms I've never seen for a Blaster. Is it possible that they're +3 +1? That would be 3" wider and 1" forward. A-arms that are +2+1 are good for trail riding or cross country racing. +3+1 are better for MX and dune riding.

Your best bet for an axle is to get an adjustable one. Most go from stock width to +4 or +6. Put on a +2 swing arm and you're good to go.

ALSO... you'll need shocks once you start changing suspension configurations. The stockers suck to being with... and they can't handle the added leverage of the wider arms / longer swinger.

You guys might get offended, but if your going to go that much bigger why not just upgrade to a 250. Whats the point of sticking with the little blaster? I mean the TRX has tight ergonomics, but the blaster is just tiny.

Go with +2 +1 a-arms, and a +3 axle AT THE MOST unless you get into drags and hillclimbs...the longer the swinger, the harder it is to turn. Also you'd want to get new aftermarket schocks....

and 5-0, blasters are the most underestimated quad out there...you'd be amazed at mine lol

I'll put mine up against a 250 any time. Obviously a built 310 or something will pull away in a straight line... but I am 100% positive I can keep up with one in the woods.... because I do very regularly.

Last year, Joe from ProjectBlaster came in second overall in GNCC 2-stroke open A... he won 1st place twice and in those races he was in the top 10 overall. That includes the pro's!

The blaster can definitely hold its own against any of the other 2-stroke quads with a good rider onboard. And it's possible to take down the big modified 450's as well.
