new to racing blasters

[weld_13]

Well I picked up a blaster chassis last night, it basically has everything on it expect an engine and a seat. Right now I race a kawasaki mojave, we owned a blaster years back that I learned to ride on but it got stolen before we ever got into racing so I need tips. I really bought this for my brother to go race but now that I look into it I'm tempted to race the blaster lol

Isn't the contraption on top of the carb a tors unit that senses for loose cables, I'd rather not have things on there waiting to cause problems. How is it I go about taking this off? I just don't want to break anything in the process.

What can I do for lower cost mods? I've read over the vitos reeds for the stock cage being $20, it sounds like the way to go but what all is out there? I've found a dg silencer for a decent price are these an ok silencer http://www.atvoverstock.com/detail.aspx?ID=2343 What is a decent pipe to use? I've heard of people running 250r carbs and such on blasters, what's the size of the oem blaster carb and what's a good carb to use? As far as rear brakes I don't want anyone racing it without hydro at least on the rear, what all has been succesful out there other than an over-rated $200 kit from project blaster? I've thought about running a honda rear end on it but that may be farther down the road.

Suspension, well I probly don't plan on doing much on it right now but what are some good aftermarket shocks or even some oem take off's that people have used?

Sorry I have a ton of questions, but I'm more of a four stroke guy.

The stock carb is 26mm, for cheap mods I'd say a used fmf pipe, banshee front shocks,z400 rear shocks, take off the airbox lid, re-jet

DG silencers are ok but DO NOT get a dg pipe.You definatly want to remove your tors. The pipe/carb comb depends on what you are going to do. Say you have aggressive mx port or a 240 big bore, your going to want a 34mm or 35mm carb and a high volume pipe such a F7, dyno port, LRD ect.
If you race the number 1 most important thing is, suspension. Unlike mojaves which have good handling, stock blasters have horrible suspension.

They make a tors removel kit. Vitos racing sells it.
For cheap mods get a 400ex/450r rear shock,banshee front shocks,drop the front sprocket one tooth get some good tires such as maxxis and throw on a pipe a good carb for a lightly modded blaster is a 30mm because it still uses the stock intake manifold.The vitos reeds arnt bad,ur also gona want to get an oil injection block off kit from vitos

Why do I need a removal kit for the tors? It just sounds like a waste of money:confused:

[mxblastermx]

it kinda went down hill cause most of the guys moved to 450s and the removal kit comes with the right lengh throttle cable and the cap as well as an idle kit if i remeber right

And yes all he did was remove the wires lol:ermm:

[mxblastermx]

Ok I was looking at the wrong one, dang $45 I'll leave it on there for now lol. Depends on if I sell it or not but I will probly just put a 250r carb on it anyway, I can get a carb for about the price of a removal kit

[mxblastermx]

yea butif u get a 250r carb you'll have to buy a bigger intake manifold to accept the bigger carb or u wont be able to hook it up

[mxblastermx]

bigger manifolds run about 55-70 u should just try to find a 30mm carb
