Offroad Racing

in order to become a monster truck driver, you have to have prior experience in mechanics, and must be 18, with a clean driving record. From a professional Monster Truck Driver on the thunder nationals circuit

Usually, a monster truck is involved in crushing smaller vehicles beneath its huge tires. They also compete in the very popular freestyle event as well as side by side racing and sometimes mud bogging.

usually over 3000cc not including the nitrous they use most of the time.

I don't want to offend you, but without spending any money the speed will (on a stright line black-top road be all you get), on a course with turns, (flat, bumpy,dirt, black-top) it all lands in your lap. it depend on how you enter, how late you brake, roll thru or square-off, how fast your back in the gas. Stright lines means speed, curves or turns scrubs off speed and slows you down, so the later you brake, and the faster your on the gas leaving the turn the longer you make the strights, also to square-off a corner you drive deep, pivot, and apply full throttle out of the corner which gives you a longer stright and a longer time under full throttle. Good-Luck!

For a 2005 Yamaha Raptor 350, it's recommended to use a high-quality 4-stroke oil with a viscosity of 10W-40. Look for oil that meets or exceeds the API (American Petroleum Institute) service classification of SG or higher. Additionally, using an oil formulated specifically for motorcycles or ATVs can provide better protection and performance. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and capacity details.

I would like to take my my two boy's to Monster Jam 2013 (their first time) at the Angel Stadium but would like to know if anyone that has been in the past could recommend really good seating?

I will admit the trx450r has a little more power but the ltr450 is way more ballanced than the Honda. They both have a lot of after market parts to help out with power and ballance so really i think it is a close call. But i think the Honda is better for the trail and the suzuki is better for the track.

I will admit that the ltr will kills the trx in all ways. the power difference is huge ltr is way better in that aspect

In the late 1970s, modified pickup trucks were becoming popular and the sports of mud bogging and truck pulling were gaining in popularity. Several truck owners had created lifted trucks to compete in such events, and soon competition to hold the title of "biggest truck" developed. The trucks which garnered the most national attention were Bob Chandler's Bigfoot, Everett Jasmer's USA-1, Fred Shafer and Jack Willman Sr.'s Bear Foot, and Jeff Dane's King Kong.

Some Monster Truck Tire facts: Tires: Manufactured by Goodyear and Firestone, monster truck tires must be 66 inches high and 43 inches wide. The average monster truck team will go through eight tires in one year. Tires are customized and hand cut to accommodate track conditions. Cutting one tire takes approximately 50 hours. Average cost: $2,600 each.

the 350 is a 6 speed and i dont belive they have changed the gering so 50 mph 55 redlined

The biggest monster truck is 15 feet tall.

Yes,it could beat it if they was both going as fast as they can.

The world's biggest truck is a mining truck. The height of the truck is more than 20 feet tall, it is a Terex MT 6300AC. It stands at 26 feet tall and is 51 feet 1 inch long. The engine is 3,750 horsepower.

400 -500 pounds

75mph stock, if its race tuned, high 80s if your giving it some 2) Mine is stock, I weigh 150 pounds and it runs 88-92mph depending on the weather...most yfz450s run 85-90mph but some aren't tuned as good out of the factory as others...stock the slowest probally is around 70-75...so they range from 70-90mph but on average I would say 85mph

a yz 85 because it has a big top end

I swear by Castrol Oils... If you go to Castrols' website, you will find a product recommendation search engine.

For my 2002 YFM-660-R they recommended Castrol Power 1 GPS... EXPENSIVE... but worth every penny!

In the US, they take place in every state. Cross counrty races include Enduros, Hare Scrambles, GNCC, WORCS and OMA races.

almost every one of the Monster Jam monster trucks weighs 10,200 lbs.

Okay, on a pavement or hard-packed dirt "drag race" (in a straight line) with both ATVS stock without any motification and both riders are about the same skill level, The 450 WILL beat the 700 in a shorter race, but if this is a longer drag race (nearly a km or a mile) The 700 should pull ahead, if the 700 has a exhaust mod or other types of peformance boosting modifications the 700 should be able to even beat the 450 in a shorter range drag race. At top speed the 700 is a faster machine in the long way, but the 450 has more "get up and go" (acceleration) so it will mostly beat the 700 in a short range drag race, but if both machines have peformance boosting mods in a long range the 700 should usually still beat the 450 by about 2-5 quad lengths

EDIT: That was all about speed, but if you want ome info about what one to buy read this: The YFZ is a good, very fast, high performance sport ATV but it more strictly for racing or fast/high speed trail riding or drag racing. It also has a very high maintenance level. You should keep on top of your oil changes , tire pressure, air filter, and grease bearing after ever 1-3 long distance rides. But if you just want a more comfortable quad for medium or fast trail riding or just having nice rides you should lean more towards the 700 raptor, The 700 has a quite a bit lower maintenance level but you should still keep on top of all your repairs and replacements for maximum performance. If you are looking to do a bit of LITTLE jumps (3-10 FT.) You should be fine with this- There is a lot of controversy about how this ATV's weight is unbalanced, this is somewhat true, if you are trying to hit larger jumps you may feel you might be un balanced or tilting forward when in mid-air this is because of the much larger engine and heavier components. But if you are looking to do high jumps you might want to looking into the YFZ because it is a very low center of gravity type of quad, If you are a larger person you may feel crammed while sitting on the YFZ. I personally have both type of ATV's i am a 16 year old guy that is about 5'11 180lbs i fit the quad perfectly i also like driving the YFZ because it feels like your in more control (may be because of the lower ground clearance) and i like to drive very aggressively. But if you have a chance try to try out both of them and see how you feel on each of the, if you do not feel completely comfortable on the YFZ it is a normal feeling (i felt it to and i had to get use to it) It is because of the tighter area and lower to the ground. The 700 raptor's seat is a quite a bit higher so you may feel more powerful on it, and just because its a 700 doesn't meant its better in all ways. If you are trying to decide between the two do research on the internet. (if your reading this you probably already are) I think that i covered most stuff that i wanted, If you have more questions email@: Jeremy_89_91@hotmail.com --Jeremy8991.

It would depend on the sprockets used, and rims and tires. Some cr500's have been modified for the street and will go much faster than bikes with the stock tires and rims. In stock form, 70 to 90 mph. Running the 500 at redline is crazy enough in first or second gear. Most riding is not at full throttle and this bike is not ridden at top speeds. In was made to handle speeds from 3 to 65 mph and pushing the limits on a cr500 isn't done then talked about.

6, unless you got a super dupercross bike, then your pushin 8

i believe it is around 350 pounds
