You should use a blaster frame
Cheaper
lighter
easy to build
Here is a pic of 85cc (with a 101 big bore kit) blaster

I thought the Raptor frame was lighter than the blasters.
Thanks for replying I hope to get all the pros and cons before I start building something.

Your right the raptor frame is 11pounds lighter
But the money you save with the blaster is well worth it
you can get a roller for next to nothing, I'm not so shure about the raptor

raptors are doing very well and there cheep 2499 here in washington, lone star and laeger all build arms and swingarms for these if you want to build a hybrid 85 for your kid go for it but make sure where you race allows hybrids, the raptor is much better choose , arms ,stem, shocks, and cr85 your ready to race.

Thanks for all the input keep it coming good or bad.
We race D13 and they do have a super mini class that we could race in. Just sold my last CVT will deliver tomorrow so my son is pushing to get the new one started.

[mini]

good luck to you and i bet your glad to be done with the cvt's lol heres my 11 yearolds laeger but in pic has a 85 now has a cr125.

[Rcarroll]

Not yet.. I guess there was a hold up on the shafts.It should be literally any time now . Ill be talking to the guys this next week sometime.The final set should be sick though. Im diggin not having to run a chain tentioner anymore .
Austin is going to love that set up!! :)

I am also curious if anyone has done a cr85 or crf150 conversion on a Raptor 250.Any pics would be awesome :)

[quadrider79]

Precision racing did a converstion using a CRF 150 in a Raptor 250 frame. I think it is for sale also.

Figured out what you are going to do yet? I am going to be startring a track here beside the house in a few weeks (whenever it dries out) so let me know when you get it done and you guys can come ride. I am sure the boys will love that.
