My 7 yo has outgrown his 1985 lt50 and i want him to race this summer. So, I'm looking for a new ride for him. I have seen some sweet looking Dinli 90's, but are they a quality product? I saw haydug had a liquid cooled LEM. Which kid's quads should i be looking at? I had the lt80 in mind, but the suspension isn't that great.

just looking for some advice.

Thanks

I have been seeing quite a few blaster conversions with cr 80 or that type of motor in them. 8k is just rediculous, its a kids quad for cryin out loud! But thats what it takes now a days I guess. I read a couple of books on how to make your kid a world contender motocross rider and it insain the money you spend. Private trainers, two, sometimes three bikes, full time mech, its nuts.

Buy a used LT 80 and put about 1500 to 2000 grand in it and he will be fine. You can make those things run good. My little boys ride is in the shop right now. I should have it back in a couple of weeks. I am going to dyno it before and after,I will let you know what happens.

The cobra mini is a fast ride, but I think it is a 3 speed. Keep that in mind. The LT 80 is automatic.
