Need some help figuring out the best way to install a raider box in a blaster. I hear it helps quite a bit so I figured some more of ya'll might want to know also. I know a couple guys on the boards have done it so maybe they can chime in. :biggthumpup:

it is a pain getting the foam out. i took a paddle bit and went to town i only took just enough foam to fit it. i went through the hole for the battery box. (some cut the rear deck)

Yeah I'd rather not cut the tray out. So it did fit through the battery tray hole?

I already have rear exhaust so I'm wondering if the foam will already be hollowed out some.:dunno:

So do you really think it is worth all the hassle or should I just stick with my Factory Pipe waterbox thats already in the ski?

i put mine on the throttle side. i think with a speedwerx pipe a stock style box will be harder to plumb the exhaust to it. mine looks like a roller coaster right now but i plan on running it around the gas tank and back under the carbs

Do you think there is any performance gain. If I can make the speedwerx work with my stock box I'm thinking I'll try that for now.

Come to think of it I wonder if you could run a superjet style waterbox in the bow of the ski. You would have to cut the foam out, but I'm wondering would there be enough room in front of the gas tank. Heck you could also run a cart style gas tank to add some room. A little extra weight in the bow of a stock hull blaster couldn't hurt.

the blaster is nose heavy as it is. so the weight of the water box +water might not be a good idea. all i could say try it and see. im still new to this racing stuff. i know i asked about it and that was the answer i got. my ski also has hull extensions so might be different. i would keep the stock tank my ski is a pig on gas
