wow, they certainly know how to make it sound good!


"long travel suspension" uh.....5-6 inches is not long travel lol. (this is what it usually measures, the 7 is pretty optimistic)


i don't think a stock blaster would be considered "light and revvy" with the junk pipe



and the "low profile knobby tires" we all know how awesome balloon tires are


they also leave out how the ultra short wheelbase makes it pretty darty and unsettling at speed
