It's hard not to port and polish the head once you get one apart... especially for the gain u get....at least in my opinion
@@Suzukey--z someone was definitely in there; you can see the RTV
Performance mods do all and redo all the races to see who the real big dog is
Well man what's better then watching this once on release day? Watching it twice on two different release days
Haha, you're the man Jeff, thank you
Was actually able to watch the whole video instead of chat lol
@@Bumpertrash1 I appreciate you being there for the live chat though man!
Watched this yesterday for the entertainment, watching it again today to get the view counter back up. Keep these sweet videos coming
Shane, that actually helps a lot; the view count and watch time is what boosts these videos, so thank you for taking the time to so that.
No matter which one wins, I will always love the Blaster. I’ve had the same one for over 20 years and to me that 2 stroke ringing sound is my childhood. I’ve flipped it, done wheelies, crashed into things and it still is super reliable and fun! Only problem I ever had was when following some bigger 4x4 Hondas through deep water and sucking some in the intake. A quick spark plug change and I was good to go again. Can’t wait for the finale!
Hell yea man! The Blaster is an awesome machine for sure.
Mike, will you please do that 300 some justice? That was my bike as a kid and I'd love to see you tear into it!
I wanna see mike do a video series restoring the 300ex and making it rip, there’s a shocking lack of content on that machine on the internet
That is true dude; I feel like its a forgotten machine.
@@MichaelSabo I used to have one that was a basket case, I found your channel in the middle of that project and it’s why I followed you. It’s fun to see you riding it in this series, thanks for all the awesome vids
@Payton Goff that's cool man; I'm glad you found my channel - thanks for subscribing!
Caught the 1st part of this live but had to jump off… looking forward to this
I appreciate you coming back to watch the rest man!
Love this lol knew the blaster would kill that bill as long as you rev the hell out of it that 300ex is really surprising the ahit out of me it’s got a big set of balls on it
Man we were all a little surprised with the 300EX, I'm still suspicious
300ex is, and always be, a cult classic. Im in my 50's and have been around atc's and ATV's all my life. I've owned them all, and like dirt wheels mag even said many times in the past, the 300ex is, and always will be the best sport quad to just go out and have fun for the rest of yorur life without really ever needing to repair it. How the meatball got to the point it is, is just a crying shame
@@phil463 it is a shame to see that it wasn't maintained but also a testament to how durable it is. We weren't exactly going easy on it even in its poorly maintained state.
i love how this is like an imaginery championship in the real world. Its what mates used to do together on weekends, with wotever thing was their thing. this channel reminds me of that marble racing channel, you cant stop watching it... weekend warriors - on any sunday.
That's a big compliment man and very true; we're just out here having fun.
Amazing video and editing! I watched every second of this episode. My guts hurt from laughing with you all and your blood bath comment was priceless! 😂
Lmao, thanks for watching man, I'm glad we could give you a laugh!
Top quad series was amazing as always and Your channel is absolutely amazing, every video gets better and better, I really hope to see a Yfz450 build sometime in the future
Awesome compliment man, thank you! I may do a YFZ one day.
I really think the Trailblazer seemed lethargic compared to a stock one with low hours on it. Did you guys do a compression check or check the clutch/belt? Like the series! I think taking these same quads and rebuilding and modifying them, then running the tests again would be super interesting!
I wish I had experience on another Blazer for comparison so it's hard to say. @petehager was in charge of preparing it and he did check the belt. We clocked it at 53mph topped out which is in the ball park of where it should be stock. Acceleration, it's hard to tell if it was normal.
Someone please give that poor trailblazer a clutch kit, it's just revving... It's clutched for beginners with a stock pipe.
The good thing about them is they can made 45hp with bolt on parts. lol
This channel is so slept on
I appreciate that bro, hoping to get discovered 🤘
love watching you guys having fun man it looks like so fun to get some friends together and just go have a friendly comp. i gotta do this guys. great video michael the editing is top notch. keep em coming buddy!!
Your editing on these are top notch Mike! You guys all killed it on this one
What's up man! Thank you for the love as always dude!
@@MichaelSabo no problem man! Keep grinding and turning out awesome product, hopefully get to rip with you again sometime
Another great video my man. Owned all these quads in the past. I agree, that Blazer ain’t fast but she sure is nice if you just wanna go out for a cruise on the trails. If you wanna rip some trails, best to pick one of the other quads.
Thank you man! Those Blazers sure are plush haha
Im glad you guys decided to race the Lakota and blaster. And blaster on top for hill climb baby!!!💪💪💪
Dude, that Blaster on the hill was so much fun! We all took each machine up during the practice runs
🤣🤣 that was really good stuff. Cant wait for the finale. "Front end is like a noodle"..Pete Hager 😅
Lmao, Pete had a vendetta against the meatball
@@MichaelSabo 🤣🤣
Excited to see the creek run today!
Great job guys 😎🔥🔥
Thank you Matom!
Man I love these videos, you guys keep me laughing and entertained the whole time, editing is pristine, bikes are awesome and the action is great! I’ve said it a million times Mike, your attention to detail and dedication to doing things speaks for itself!! You’re the best man!!
Nick, I always appreciate the love man; this is making my day - thank you
What a great series, can’t wait for the finale. I want to get on top quad 😂
Thank you dude, I'm glad you're enjoying the series!
great job boys. fun vid. too bad u couldnt get more episodes cuz i wanna watch. like to see u guys rip ur real quads out there too. always fun
Thank you bro! The finale will be out on Memorial day! Won't be too long; that ones great!
Top Quad 3... 2.0... version 2, or something like that 🤘
😂😂 Yes, something like that; thanks for the love man 🤘
The Blaster looks absolutely dope!!! And Blasters are so fun, i want to get another one.
That ex has motor work to sure. Port that blaster and itll run cicles around it
It sure seems like it; and no doubt some porting would change everything!
Wondered where it went
Thanks for coming back to watch man!
Yeah lol I'll watch it a 2nd time. Is the creek run being re uploaded too?
@DJ Swope I appreciate it man! Yes, creek run will be uploaded on memorial day
Do you still have the 250 R
Yea man, I have it!
@@MichaelSabo can you make some more contact with it?
Another great episode! Cant wait till next week for the final.
Thank you man!
I’m pretty impressed with how things are turning out so far. I think the Trail Blazer might have gotten a better spot if there was more of a run to the first hill. It will basically hold whatever speed it is at when it starts going up things. So a lack of run hurts it. I did figure the blaster would be a monster on the hill climbs because it’s light and has plenty of power. As for the 300EX, there is NO WAY that thing has a stock motor. It’s running like my old buddy’s 300 that had a 330 big bore kit with a stage 2 cam. Also, the front suspension on the 300ex is just not good for anybody above 160lbs anyway, so if the suspension is also blown out then I can imagine that thing is pretty scary to ride.
I'm hearing from a lot of people the same thing about the 300EX, that even fresh, the suspension is pretty bad. Glad to hear your feedback on the engine work - it definitely seems suspicious!
Just as good the 2nd time
My maaan thank you
lol @ Mike at 20:02.
Fashion bruh 😂
I feel like the cool ranch is way slower than it should be. Maybe slipping belt?
We put a new belt on and checked it before these races. In retrospect, I'm wondering if the throttle limiter on the thumb throttle was on or something? But really it's just not an aggressive machine.
@@MichaelSabo huh, so it's actually just that slow
@@chelseasaunders212 possibly, yes; I don't have much experience with them. Sure rides smooth though
I feel like it needs some clutching to wake it up maybe a better primary spring
Thanks so much for all the incredible hard work involved with putting this together. I love this series. I can’t wait to watch the finale
Thank you for the love man!
Finally
🤘🤘
That 300ex is American af. Red quad, white knuckles, and blue smoke. Lol gotta hold on tight with that front end
Lmao, couldn't have said it better dude
Great videos, what happen to the blaster tailight, I rlly love your videos and I hope the best for you, you’ve rlly helped me learn about motor and and working atvs and stuff so I thank you. I hope one day I can meet you in person and just hangout with such a inspiration in my life. Keep the video up man I love them so much
Hey Chad, thank you for all the support man! Hopefully we cross paths one day; if you ever see me, don't be afraid to come say hi! The tail light broke when jessie was doing a wheelie on the way to this hill climb lol
@@MichaelSabo lol you have the best day and hope that your channel grows big you deserve it. Keep up the nice work
@Chad likewise buddy, thank you again 👊
The 300ex is surprisingly quick
I think the cool ranch should have gotten a clutch kit just because. The Lakota is the only one I don't know anything about but seems legit. Always great to see these kind of videos.
I think that would have made things more interesting too. Really none of us were familiar with the Blazer before the series- I guess that's the fun in comparing
@@MichaelSabo I lived on the Oregon coast when I was 19 and worked at a rental shop. They rented trail blazers and Honda Odyssey s. I hated everything about them but understand why they made such great rental machines. I'm super impressed with the blueberry milkshake.
It’s out!
🤘🤘
Thank you bro you have probably inspired lots of young people like what you are doing❤
That meatball is a little more spicy than stock.
it would awesome to see your crew do a competition against the sxsblog guys.
I think we'd all be up for that!
Bro Jessie's Steve Brule commentary style had me dying lol
Proof that you dont need a banshee to have fun!!!!!!
Dude awesome video! Love the top quad series you guys are hilarious and great riders! Can’t wait for the next build video! You actually inspired me to make RUclips videos and watching you build videos really makes me wanna do a mini restore on a machine so i recently bought me a 2002 Polaris sportsman 90 not running to completely go through and get going! I’m super stoked to do it I might make a small video of the restore.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more top quad!
😂😂 Thank you for the love man!
Please make more of there’s type of videos with quads there awsome
Thank you, glad you like them!
Ken OConnor mentioned he talked to you... thats cool
Yea man, I spoke with him on the phone yesterday, class act and a legend in my opinion.
Top Quad.. this is some entertaining content. Thanks!
Thank you Mike!
What program do you use for editing? Back in the days i was using sony vegas studio but thats like 10 years ago lmao i suppose theres alot more choices out there now!
Oh man, I think I used vegas waaaay back in the day. I've been using Adobe Premiere/ After Effects forever.
@@MichaelSabo thanks bro i appreciate it!
Dude this looks so fun, I’ve got an EX 400, I want to ride with you guys so bad.
how have i allready seen this and the finale ? 😅🤣 anyways good going guys greets from Belgium
😅 Lol, thank you for being there for the early release and for coming back to give this re-release a view and comment
killin it mike! would love to ride local with ya one day!
Thank you Tyler! If you ever see me at a park or on the trails, come say hi!
Way to go man. You all did awesome job.
I think you should do a rebuild series on the meatball, it deserves some love and showing the difference between a ragged out quad and one with a full rebuild would be really interesting.
I agree man, plus that would be an awesome little backup machine to have. It belongs to @700rRaptorlife , so he may do something with it on his channel.
Dirtwheels magazine did a comparison years ago when yamaha upgraded the warrior in to the raptor 350. They compared it to the 300ex and had a 400ex there to see if it could keep up with that. The 300ex walked all over the raptor 350 and naturally the 400ex was considerably better than both.
Damn... that really says something. I'd like to read that article!
Follow my lead all that can ❤
Dave, you're too good man; thank you.
I think you should do a top quad with the best 450 quads ,would get alot of views
That blazer sounds like a leaf blower haha
The poor meat ball, I’m routing for it.
Haha, it did well man!
It’s interesting how on paper the Honda has the least power but it pulls on every other machine.
Would love to see this series do a 400ex vs warrior vs banshee vs scrambler 500
(2 wheel drive)
I'd be really interested to see how the Scrambler 500 does
@@MichaelSabo yeah. Pretty quick. But thr handling just isn't there.
@@MichaelSaboI heard that the scrambler 400 2 strokes are quicker and you can make a lot of power with them but I would like to see either of them in a video
lets goooooooo
🤘🤘
Blaster flew up that hill and i thought it would do terrible on a hill run considering it has a narrow power band with the turns and tree roots making it worse
We all took it up the hill at some point; you did need to keep it in the PowerBand or it would fall on its face. If you had no experience with 2 strokes you'd have a hell of a time
Honda power dominated this episode
Yea dude that 300 is quick!
Man we gotta see the meatball get an overhaul rebuild as much hate it got but just kept putting up strong competition it be awesome to see a 300ex build anyway but keep with the great content
I agree man, it would be cool to overhaul that machine
Man that Kawasaki is well rounded. I’d love to see new mid-size sport atv’s return to the market
So would I; I'm not sure why they pulled them, to me they seem to be the most fun.
Better question: where's the Mojave...
Throw someone on the blaster that knows how to speed shift
Don't forget that stock compression on a yamaha blaster is 6.6:1 you should drop the compression on the others to be fair! 😮 or install a 10.6:1 piston in the little yamaha blaster.....
That would definitely make a big difference. Across the boards though we wanted basically the same mods. The 300 was the only one we weren't sure about because we didn't work on it.
Should definitely do older big bores like the kfx700, bombardier 650, Raptor 660, Honda 700, etc. That might be cool.
Best youtuber out there
the blaster was gone .
Against the Blazer? lol
@@MichaelSabo the blaster is looking like the best all around fun riding quad . it can do it all
When is there an LTR 450 build on this channel?
Had a blaster as a kid but got a 300ex now it is faster for sure
You should try a scrambler 400
The goats of ATV RUclips
The guy operating the Blaster was letting off between gears! Hold it to the floor when shifting! Let her rip tatter chip.
but would it be better in low gear the blazer for up hill? you should have tried tha for the 2nd run full low gear
How long was the drag race? Typical quad drags are 300ft. We're all the bikes running stock gearing?
We actually did measure the stretch and it was 307 ft if I remember correctly. All stock gearing.
Let me know when your ready for top 3 wheeler Challenge rocking a 86 ATC250R located in the Poconos
Oh hell yea man! That would be awesome!
I think the only quad I've ridden has been the blaster
Probably the best one at least 😎
@Michael Sabo real talk, though?I'm not normally a fan of kawi's, but the Lakota's a beast
@@wesleywheeler7891I've mostly been on a 300ex and blaster. The blaster is the most fun I've ever had. They are so different when it comes to how you drive them.
Should have upgraded to 36mm carb re jetted and scrambler 400 secondary weight kits for primary clutch but really not worth it you can make them decent better than in this video build an actual expansion chamber at the beginning of the head and actually reduce it towards the end shorty silencer and port work on the jug
I feel like the yamaha yfm 350 deserved a shot at top quad
What happened to episode 4 the final?
Love your vids man, ur knowledge of quads is decent (not an insult, my father owned a dealership when I was young and I'm obsessed with machines so I know most every model, years they were made, years they were updated, basically useless info). Just would like it better if ya didn't give em names like meatball and cool ranch, idk why they're named that so hard to keep track. But great work, the quality of ur vids is as good as any car/truck/atv show on TV I've seen.
Thank you for the feedback Jason and compliments on the quality of my video. It had to have been cool growing up with a dad who owned a dealership! We named the machines because we think it gives them personality if that makes any sense.
@Michael Sabo oh I totally get it, I just don't know or missed the reason for the nicknames. Have a name for all my bikes as well. Got kind of a general name for all Hondas except for the 250R......💩. Thanks again for the vids man!
There’s something wrong with that trail blazer,my buddy has one and it’s way faster than that.
Any recommendations on buying a used quad? When, where, what to look for?
That Trailblazer definitely isn't running right... I had one, and it definitely performed way better. I outran my buddies Blaster with mine.
Only if micheal put a Vito’s kit and put a fmf and tuned the car just right he would have won every challenge
I love the 300ex even though it’s ugly and has bad suspension I just love mine it always runs and it chugs some hill climbs
warrior 350 vs 400ex vs ltz400 vs kfx400 for the next series please
seems if that honda was in decent condition it would win pretty much everything
It could be, it ran really strong
he said units bc he been watching cleetus mcfarland lol
I have a suggestion for the next series the format needs to be changed, each rider should get 5 to 10 laps or runs in each race back to back to get there best times take the best three laps then compare numbers for a winner that gives the quads a much better chance to show where they shine, yes head to head is fun but I heard you guys say several times it's about the quads, the drag race the last one should have been the heaviest rider on the fastest quad and the lightest rider on second fastest quad to give it a little handicap. Thanks for your time fun to watch.
You guys know you can launch in 2nd, right?
@USERNAME_Michaelsabo1 got out of here dam bot
I had a 97 300ex a few months ago and tbag thing was way faster than i thought it should have been wirh a 14 36 sproket i had it clocked at 62mph definitely quicker than i thought it should have been and it was stock i even pulled the valve cover to check and see if it has a hot cam in it nope all stock kinda odd my warrior feels less wild but gps says with a 14/40 sproket in had it clocked at 70mph on gps but the 300ex felt like it got there faster
Yeah I’ve had a 300ex and a Blaster and from my experience stock vs stock the 300ex is definitely faster
300ex is def not stock. As kids we all had these same stock machines. Blaster beat the 300ex everytime
I appreciate the feedback on this; we all had suspicions.
BLASTER needs to start in 2nd in high RPM.
