Hello all. We are new to his forum and have been researching an Apex 50 MXR for my son next year. My son Seth is 4 and raced his first season this year. In 12 races he finished all of them in the top 4. On a yard quad. he ran an 03 Bombarier DS50. I put the usual Hetrick goodies on it, but there comes a point where your limited on a quad like this. I could of spent $2500 on suspension and disc brakes but why bother when Either a DRR or Apex 50 liquid can be had at the same price.
I can relate to the idea of a good rider on a stock bike beating up on the top dollar machines with riders who cant handle them. All year long my boy had the crappiest machine at the track, but he rode awesome. He was schooling the older kids off the gate. He earned the name "Holeshot" at one of our last races. He would lead the race for about 250 feet then the DRR's and Apex's would go by him, but he managed to hang in there. All season he was running competitive in the 50jr.4-6 year old class, and we let him race in the 50sr.5-8 year old class. He came in 3rd in points in thr Jr. class and tied for 3rd in the Sr. class in the Rock Maple Racing series. So for now I am going to soak in some more reading, and next year we will see what he can do on a quad that was not designed to putt around the yard. Apex50 MXR or DRR liquid cooled 50, Hmm which do we get? We shall see.
