Swingarm length?

[locogato11283]

dude what more opinion do you need? i think pretty much everyone in this thread said to go with the +6. from duners to draggers, 350 motors to big twister motors.. everyone has said +6.

Whoa! Whoa!....no need to get buck. Im simply asking for other peoples opinions based on experiences, Ive had the same amount of people tell me to go +4 as to go +6, even you told me i can go either way on this.

+6

i would think it would be better to be a little too long than not long enough. probably the same theory for a swing arm, right?

[Ieat4strokes]

i think u'd be happy with +6 as well, I actually went +8 and although its overkill for any tight technical shyt its still easy to toss around and kick the @$$ out after getting used too, I do some drags and alot of open field riding. +6 would suffice, especially if your planning on a 4mill down the road u'd probally need the extra length. My drag ported 4mill still brings the front up on +8 in dirt with knobbies, im sure sand hooks harder? lol

Go 6 or hate your self and buy twice. Dune'n a 6 isn't bad. They get around just fine in the dunes, even the tighter stuff.

lmao, yea you'll be back. FAST built me a killer 4mill and with a stock swinger it was unmanagable, kept having to let out the throttle or flip over backwards when powerband hit . Was alot of fun though. I might put it back on lol

[CajunDuner]

Well guys I would just like to thank all of you for your opinions and advice, I went ahead and called Tim at Stellar today and got a +6 swingarm getting fabricated and chromed. Can't wait for that puppy to come in! Just wanted to say it was a pleasure doing business with Tim, he is very knowledgable and knows exactly what direction to point you in. I highly recommend Stellar to anyone. Well now that I made this purchase....I have to look for some new paddles. Anyone has a nice set of 21-12-8 10 paddle haulers for sale? lol

Im about to buy a swingarm myself from wolf fabrication and i do alot of hill climbing on coal mines. Would  +6 be enough for me also?!

[sprinklerman]

Who's Wolf fabrication? I'd be very careful about who's swinger I used ..especially if you are jumping.

[Derrickc14]

http://www.wolfesmetalfabrication.com/Banshee.html I dont do any jumping really. Small shit if any. Nothing crazy. Wolfes swingarms allows you to keep the stock carrier. Check them out and tell me what you think!

I definitely wouldn't upgrade swingarms without upgrading the carrier at the same time. If it's a buget issue , just save until you have another 100.00 for the round carrier.

[Derrickc14]

Whats so special about the round one compared to the stock one?! To me, I rather have the skid plate then bend the rotor and etc.. on a rock.

Round housing swingers can have skid plate mounts as well.
