Well I am debating whether to get all 4 new Hiper beadlock wheels or to send out my Suspension to Gt Thunder and get all 3 shocks revalved/resprung. I do Woods/XC riding and alot of jumping. I am also going to race in the FTR XC Quadscrambles next season as well. If you do not already know both upgrades are in the same price range..
Thanks in advance for replies and help.

Do the shocks. The wheels won't make you faster. Plus the better suspension makes it safer when you hit something unexpectedly.
That's a no brainer.

Suspension for sure. Beadlocks are more of a cosmetic thing with the added strength and ability to run lower tire pressures. But suspension will get you so much further and make riding so much better. Suspension will make you faster and have a better ride

I dont know... de dee deee lol
Whats wrong with the 450r shocks tho?I hear there TONS better than stock yfz and to me I love the stock yfz suspension.I would only imagine the 450r would be better?So why not do other mods that can help you out for that type of riding?Than again suspension and rider skills are like the only things that can help you out in there lol

I wouldnt consider it "wasting" more of an "investment" Lots of people run Laz's setup with awesome results. |

I am also planning on going with Shocks before beedlocks. Are the GTT shocks adjutable for use in MX and XC?

If you race hardcore (more than 80% of your races) XC, then go with the XC setup. If you are more of a MX person, stay with a MX setup. If you ride both, but dont race, just want the edge over other recreational riders, you cant go wrong with either. But with his expertise in GNCC racing with his son (who runs his stock YFZ shocks converted) in the pro class. I would go with his XC setup. My friend has full GTT on his LTR and when I rode it, I noticed the faster you went, the smoother everything was. It builds confidence like no other. |
