you know.. that would be kind of a cool look actually! Im not sure on the frame, I havent even seen it since we bought it . lol :p

The reason we are welding this frame is to try and improve the stock frame since there is so many that who cannot run an aftermarket frame or is trying to avoid the expense. I have heard by a few that the frame is worse than the minis :uhoh: if thats the case, it could get interesting. Brandons mini had more gussets than frame . LOL Eventually it did hold though! :p
Luckily for the 2010 season we only have 1 round of trees .The one round that we were at we did see a frame fold-part of the reason we are trying to give it some reinforcement .
No one will know unless someone tries to come up with a fix.

I didn't realize the frames were such a big problem on the things. Sounds like they're worse than the z400's. If that's the case, I wish you the best of luck haha. Before I got rid of my Z, I had broken the frame in 6 or 7 different places.

I just switched out our Raptor 250 frame with a LSR frame and I tell you what...the stock raptor frame feels lighter than our old DRR frame.

Maybe they should consider adding a little weight to the frame and work some bugs out . There is an obvious trend there.

Dont suppose Yamaha knows anything about it? :o

The 250 is a great quad though and will be and is already becoming a huge success for the "in between" youth riders.

Haha yeah. I think I had the weirdest break of all time though. I broke the tube on the sub frame that the pipe connects to, completely off. I didn't notice it until I got home and saw a random tube hanging down.

Not alot to report just yet... A Arms are being worked on this weekend, those shoud be done soon.. Also got a few pipes to use for testing on the dyno and also on sound... nerfs I think shipped out on Friday so we should have them in a couple days.
Heres a few things we got last week.

Not alot to update just yet.. still waiting on primarily the main supension to get done and the nerfs are still MIA. I think they should be here in a few days, but a few of more things did show up this week.
