I haven't really had the time to race the past 3 years. Hoping I can get this together and setup for the 2026 season. I've been acquiring parts but haven't even started wrenching on it yet. It's well worth the trip over to WI, you can race the Northern series on Sat and Southern on Sun. I tend to stay away from the AMA stuff, overpriced and not any better than our normal series.

Not even going to try for this season, I have 3 month old twins at home, but I'm sure I'll be seeing you next year.

Time to bring this thread (and quad) back from the dead. I took a few years off from racing and this just sat in a barn collecting dust. Rolled it out and cleaned the birdshit off last weekend to go play at a radar run and got the itch to race again. The suspension setup was shit since it was molested by a few owners between ryder25 and myself buying it. Currently have a whole new setup on order, PEP PB1 front shocks, Walsh A arms, rebuilding the rear PEP shock, -1 stellar swingarm. I'll get some updated pics when the parts start going on. I might even tear it down and redo the powdercoating and buy new plastics but unsure as of now. I kind of like rolling up to new tracks where noone knows me and smoking the entire pro class with my "farm quad". The comments made in the pits when ppl see me line up are priceless.

No clue on the linkage stuff. I just know it’s a 19” pep lt shock Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you check out the beginning of this thread, another guy built all the mounts. I bought it all set up for the motor, just had to fit pipes and radiator since he had oof’s on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s garbage here. That pic was lake Wisconsin last weekend. 2” of hard ice, 2-3” of water, then 7-8” of ice under that. The layering fucked us. Had to cancel all of the SWIRA races so far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got it finished up and took it out to the ice. Raced on a small flooded dirt track Saturday. 2nd place to a trx450r with a built zilla motor wasn’t bad for my first time on it. I need to make a few more suspension tweaks but the traction is unbelievable! With my banshee chassis I could barely do a wheelie if I tried. This thing wants to lift the front tires every time I even think about touching the throttle. I’m excited to get it on a real track next weekend to see how it does.

No. They never got the kinks worked out of that twister. I’m going inning a redline 10mm serval. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’ll tuck in tighter once I get the mounts on. Just set them there for the pic. I got them in the 3 pieces so I could index how I wanted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a procrastinator. Finally got the snipers mocked up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of parts? I might have a few Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No one mentioned anything about a swaybar yet????? I ran the rear lowering link for years. The front lowering kits scare me. Definitely need to get some smaller tires on there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m getting a set in pieces so I can fit them as tight as possible and weld them together myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thinking about trying to fit up some Snipers once he gets back to making them.

Thought maybe I should revive this thread. Picked up the rolling chassis 2 weeks ago. Just got my my motor in it. Redline 10mm serval. Pipes are going to be a bit of a wait but I’ll post updates as i go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I definitely couldn’t pass it up. I was out in sd hunting when it went up for sale. Had a friend grab it that day without even seeing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here. I’ve been following it for a few years. Just picked up what u see here minus my motor for $800. The guy who owned it had no clue what he had. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Setting up your front end alignment will make a HUGE difference! This is a good guide to point you in the right direction https://lsracing.com/img/Guide_21.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kinda sad that everyone gave up on the banshees. Mine pretty much dominated the WI scene this season. Even walked away with a few tt/gp wins in the pro class. I’m thinking about trying to build a decent 4 mil to throw in my old banshee chassis next year to put a new kid on. Can’t wait to see how this hybrid does. He guy who used to run it had it on here a few years ago. He could just never get the motor sorted out. Think it was a big twister. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya. There’s not too many of them out there. I loved it, but time to move on to bigger and better things [emoji51] You still race? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just bought a -2 swingarm from JL Engineering. Top notch quality and customer service. Price is right too, I’d recommend checking with him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tt last weekend. Still working on getting that rear end to stick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know much about how the traction is on pavement as I only ride on ice. An LT front end is definitely best. That way as you’re exiting a corner under power and the front end lifts, your tires can still have contact for turning. My current setup is +3+1 lsr arms. Stock travel pro front shocks. -1 swingarm with stock shock rebuilt w/ pep parts. Have a -2 swingarm coming next week as I get no traction right now and I’m 190lbs. Out can find some of my older videos on YouTube (mhoksch) or Facebook (Mike Hoksch) to see how things handle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
