Grant your right,  I think I'd need a gearing change like 13/50 & a new clutch  :lol:
For snow/sand use I have 22/10/9 AMS Zippers. Great traction for wheelies. Last winter a friend on his Sportsman 500 thought the Raptor had 4x4  :rolleyes:
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/tqf1E/ATV%20Tires/AMSZipperTire.jpg)
I'm done using them for sand use as they wear too fast


Thanks for the pics & vid Grant  :clap:

LOL, funny you say that peels. When I was in walden racing that  804 I got a bad start and tried to play catch up. So I just wheelied the entire track and picked up a couple bike lengths....lol

Nice! love seeing those full torque wheelies. I have never actually seen a "sanctioned" quad drag race. Definitely in my "bucketlist" LOL I have seen a couple of Raptor vs Banshee wars with built quads. But nothing like that with lights and roped off lanes. Very cool. :thumbs:
