Price varies a lot, safe to say that they are pretty much all underpriced. Expect to pay 3k for a good shape Cannibal that needs updates, to 4k for a reasonably updated one, to maybe 4500 for one with all updates and aftermarket crank. You may find some for less, some for more.

You can do the updates yourself for far cheaper than ATK does them. There are resources out there that can do the work for much, much less with the same or more quality, try Haydug (site sponsor) for instance.

Coming off a 300ex, um, yeah, you should like it. Kinda like going from a Vespa to a Hayabusa. Kinda.

I think the ATK kit is around 2 grand, you can find stock cannibals around 2500-3500, and you'll think you came off of a golf cart.smile.gif

yeah the 300's slow but i can handle YFZ's fine so i think i can get used to a dale to....

so does the ATK kit solve all the c'dale engine problems or just the crank? or is that the only thing that was bad on the c'dales....

haha sorry for all the questions ive hung around EXriders forever but i dont know much about dales at all...

I think you will find find that you will have to do oil changes more often than on your ex. Which unfortunatley if you do a full by-the-book drain-change-and fill can be a little time consuming. But that is a pretty small thing to consider when looking at the machine you are getting, I wouldnt expect any less out of such a racebreed machine. You wont regret it :head:

have haydug do it instead of ATK, you'd get more for your $$$$. and where are you located? someone on here might live right around the corner and help you out with any questions.
