Does anyone know if raptor 660 front shocks fit on the stock shock mounts of a blaster? If not what is another cheap suspenstion upgrade for a blaster?

I know that the fox float shocks for the rapter fit on the front of the blaster. If you did make the switch the valving and all that stuff would be wrong though. There is a big weight difference. Not sure if the stock shocks would work though. I just saw the fox float shocks on a dirtwheels project blaster, and they said they were for a raptor.

I saw the same issue, thats why I was wondering if the stockers of the raptor could be a possiblity.:D

I think the stock would proabably fit fine, but it is the settings that would be bad. They are valved for a machine that is a lot heavier. I am no blaster expert or anything, so i could be wrong.

if it worked, someone would have done it by now. you'll run into the same thing as yfz shocks. they will fit, but you'll have extra stress on your ball joints, which could cause them to break. banshee shocks work well if your looking for a small upgrade, they are just bearly longer than blaster ones and have more travel. i am selling a set of works shocks, perfect condition for like 290 if your interested.

What year of banshee shocks fit the blaster? The 04' banshee shocks have the same exact travel as the raptor shocks (9.1), where as the blaster shocks only have 7.1! :confused:

That would be sweet, if I hooked a Blaster up with those. I would go from 7.1" to 8.7" plus rezzies!(in the rear)

a raptor 660 shock will fit on a 300ex no problem, it wont work on a blaster howevere a 250R shock fits on the back of a blaster fine
