Nice job! What was the hardest part of the build? Did you buy an engine mount kit?
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.

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

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.

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

I’m a procrastinator. Finally got the snipers mocked up

What kind of parts? I might have a few

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.

The snipers will go with out much modifying.
I’m getting a set in pieces so I can fit them as tight as possible and weld them together myself

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.

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.

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.

Setting up your front end alignment will make a HUGE difference!
This is a good guide to point you in the right direction

oh nice hybrid! nope no more racing for me... just couldnt swing the funds anymore.
not too many guys left running banshee's either.... the few main guys that i spoke to opted to hybrids with speedbike motors in em for oval racing. still see the odd strangler banshee but not many big 10mils + running anymore.
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.

I forgot you where one of the few others that got a TT swinger from him!
Ya. There’s not too many of them out there. I loved it, but time to move on to bigger and better things
You still race?

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.

Tt last weekend. Still working on getting that rear end to stick

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.

I think I got a set in my last motor from redline. Only had 1 season on it so far

Try to go to a range where u can rent guns and try that shield in 40 and 9mm back to back. I would never want a compact 40 due to the snappiness. A good load on a 9 will get you plenty of stopping power with much more manageable recoil.
For holsters I love my alien gear 3.0.
