400 hybrid or 350x hybrid

[Tri-valleyracin]

I need to build a quad to race with. Im thinking of 2 a z400/250r hybrid or a 300ex/350x hybrid. The 350x will have a mildly moded race motor and the 400 will be stock motor. the 350x will have race suspension and the 400 will have close to stock suspension untill I can afford nicer suspension.

Go with the Z400/250r hybird. Its more up-to-date and probably will handle a lot better then the 300ex/350x.

hey, i pmed ya, i have a 250r roller that i will sell to you for cheap, i need money for med bills so it may help both of us out.......check your pm's

[Tri-valleyracin]

no thanks it sounds like a great deal but I was goin to sell my quadracer to get the $ for parts and I just found out my bottom end it toast.

[Tri-valleyracin]

i desided to use my quadracer as the starting piont of my hybrid.

[kicker696]

i'd re-think that idea, not to be mean, but the quadracer's frame is not capable of handleing a 350x, let alone a ltz400 motor. Your best bet is to part out the quadracer, get what you can for it, then use that money as a starting point. There are enough people out there parting out 250r's that you will be able to get some really good prices on stuff, just look around.

race the quadracer :p

Bah. For about $4,500 you can find a nice 450r with some mods now-a-day. Part out both the 300ex and Quadracer, then see how much cash you have. For $3,500 you can get a nice mx ready 400ex. Its much more expensive to build something from the ground up also.

Well not everybody lives at home with mommy and daddy.Some people have a wife and kids and mouths to feed.So just dropping major coin on a toy isnt always a wise option.When you kiddies grow up you'll soon realize this too.;) Go ahead with your hybrid,have fun and you'll learn a lot along the way too.;)
