FASTOYS Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I have had both but havent had the Zilla for at least 8 years and im STILL paying for the repair bills! I had 2 of them and they can be made to run hard but have tons of problems! I have had no trouble with the Raptor and its cranked up pretty good. Pm me if you have any questions i will be glad to help you with them as i have been down that road. You have the Banshees for going real fast , get ya a Raptor for tractoring around!

BigRed350x Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I would say the zilla. I've seen a ported/piped zilla keep up with a 4mm banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaRider02 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm with Jeff on this one, the Zilla's can be real fast, but carry a good set of tools with you. I got tired of bent shift forks and blown head gaskets. My old Zilla cranked out 70 HP at the wheels on a Dyno, but never ran long enough to enjoy it. That's why I bought a Shee, for its ease of mods and reliability to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboy Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 so your stuck deciding between shit and crap huh? i wouldnt get either ,both are heavy slow pigs that require alot of pissin around to extract decent power out of them only to blow up prematurely ,id get a nice used 250R and slap a 330 eddie sanders raceing topend on it if you want something else thats powerful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02bluemxshee Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 My dad had a Lt500R for a few years. They run like hell.....when they run. It had the same problems the others posted head gasket and bent shift forks. I am actually debating on gettin a raptor for tractoring around.

chris642 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) just put a CR 500 engine in a LT 500 frame, BAM, fast and reliable 500 quad. It couldnt be very hard to fit the engine in there. Edited November 22, 2005 by chris642 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I would go with the Raptor, i ve seen some with some nice pipes and it will for sure give you that thunder sound your looking for. they also have alot of torque so go with the raptor.
