What should I do first? Engine or Suspension?

Should I widen my quad and get some aftermarket shocks or should I get a 440 kit for me 400ex???

Do you race and what kind of riding do you do?

depends on if you wanna drag race or jump
judging from your name I'd say suspension

[flying400ex]

I like to ride tracks and jump and all that but I also like to go fast. I was looking into a CT high output 440 kit or a TC 505. If I got arms and suspension I was looking into Housers arms and maybe some Elka's along with an elka rear shock and wider axel maybe a swingarm to. Whats your opinion?

if ur going to do track riding get the suspension and such. cause the engin has engouh power to ride the track and hit the jumps. if u get the arms, axle, suspension ur landings will be good and the corners will be not tippy

You want to do the Suspension/Chassis Stuff first. I would go with some Houser +2 A-Arms, Elka Triple Rate SSD Comp. Adjust Front Shocks, Houser +1-1/4 Swingarm, Elka Rear Shock Rebuild, Fastline Break Lines, RPM Axle, and a Axle Nut.

If you can't handle the power, whats the use in having it?

[optikid123]

i agree do chassis first because if you cant use your power to its full potential because your chassis wont hadle it you might as well not have a more powerful motor

I too recommend suspension first. I think you will enjoy the handling effects more than the high output effects, if tested side by side. My 2 cents..... Good luck!

i think maybe do a little of both. how much are u willing to spend? i assume alot because you are planning on getting elkas but why dont you get a littlw bit cheaper shocks, then get maybe a 416/440, cam, gaskets, etc. good luck!
