Definitely interested in seeing how this turns out 👌🏻. I used to have a 250EX when I was a kid haha

[@Dustyadams02]

Let’s gooo!!! Best sharpen up those mechanic skills 😂

[@dadspeed227]

Lol I watched a Disney Channel short about how trucks work, so I'm all set.

[@307bmx3]

Love the content. Keep it coming

[@dadspeed227]

Thank you!

[@southernillinoishicks999]

Can’t wait to see part 2 I’ve been wanting to do this myself so hurry up so I can learn from you!😂

[@dadspeed227]

😂😂 I’m learning as I go so you might want to make some changes lol

[@isaacpsi]

Can't wait to see some more progress on this thing! Just found your channel and subscribed. Keep up the good work your videos are really entertaining.

[@dadspeed227]

Thanks a lot!

[@user-yx1gg5ub7d]

Definitely going to keep an eye out and see how you do this i have a Yamaha warrior 350 that has been amazing but last year the wiring shorted and completely and i couldn't revive it and i would love to do this kind of swap on it

[@maxwelledison03]

Subbed. I live for this stuff.

[@dadspeed227]

Awesome, thank you!

[@24BLUEELMO]

I can tell you its gonna be dope . Timemachines d just did one and its quick

[@dadspeed227]

I saw that! It really got me excited to finish this one. I’m doing mine a little differently too so it should be interesting to see how the differences effect it.

[@MnWarrior350]

Great Project !!! Can't wait to see the end result. That Raptor 250 is SET UP already pretty well too! Hipers, Arms, shocks, etc, This would be a sick MX machine. I'm on the hunt for a Raptor 250 or Blaster to put together for my son as a next project

[@dadspeed227]

Thanks! I think the end result might be pretty wild I'm excited to finish it!

[@donniegardner6294]

I can’t wait to see how this thing turns out!

[@dadspeed227]

Thanks! Lol me either!

[@darrylpatterson7365]

You forgot about the 250x,Mojave 250 ,blaster and 300ex were around before the 250ex.

[@dadspeed227]

Great point! Thanks!

[@TylerMcNabb137]

Looking forward to seeing the end result! That thing should be a blast to ride. If you hadn’t already, I would plan on gusseting that frame. Those frames are known for breaking and bending when they’re stock, let alone with that engine lol.

[@dadspeed227]

Thanks man! I wasn't aware of that I definitely will.

[@TylerMcNabb137]

@@dadspeed227 yeah we figured it out too but it was the hard way lol. Clipped a tree and bent the nose of the frame over about 5-8 degrees. It was pretty bad.

[@HILLBURKE]

I want that 125 roller for my banshee engine

[@donniegardner6294]

Looks like I’m not getting anything done at work today

[@jessehenson7934]

When are you going to post part 2

[@asher8116]

Part 2?

[@danizrcs9057]

Where is the second parte?? Its ready...???

[@aaronjohnson7345]

Any progress?

[@korruptusextremis]

Where is pt 2??? I want to do the same with a Chinese quad 😅

[@dadspeed227]

The work on the Raptor has been REALLY slow, which I’m not stoked on. Up until a couple of weeks ago I seriously haven’t had any time to devote to working on it. BUT, things are back underway now, I’m going on a riding trip this week but In April I will have an update video out! 🤘🏻 thanks for watching!

[@logandilts3173]

stoked to see how this turns out... any reason you didn't put a yz250 engine in it?

[@dadspeed227]

Yes! I have seen a few yz250 powered quads on KZbin, and while I'm sure that would be awesome, I have never actually seen a 125 2 stroke quad anywhere. 85's and 250's sure, but not a 125. Also with it being a smaller machine, I wanted to kind of keep it "underpowered" in a way. The idea was to imagine if Yamaha came out with a 2024 Blaster, if that makes sense.

[@logandilts3173]

@@dadspeed227 cool, I like your reasoning. Could always upgrade to a 250 if you need more power haha.

[@dadspeed227]

@Logan Dilts thanks and absolutely! A 250 2 stroke build of some kind is definitely on the list for the future.
