get ready to do alot of maintenance on the front brakes, or convert to disc brakes with the extreme kit. even the rear drum is a pain if you see alot of water/mud, so be prepared to tear it down every once in awhile. i go through front wheel bearings quick, but the terrain here is really rough (wheelies/jumps don't help either!). with that being said, the quad is really bulletproof - i've never had a problem that stopped me from riding out of the woods. towed a few others out, though...
