So Cal Suspension Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah, they are the same cranks that Alf was trying to peddle on here. They are made by a company called Competitive crankshafts. Nothing more than Chinese imports. They advertise on craigslist. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/for/2008102130.html "Custom" my ass... Nonetheless, if they are decent cranks, it's a good price for sure. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Banshee-NEW-crank-crankshaft-4mm-stroker-115mm-long-rod-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a257deb3QQitemZ290486476467QQptZMotorsQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Quote

bansheesandrider Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Posted October 17, 2010 I can get a crank from Twister for 350 and since they are 40 mins from me and all the other cranks and machine work I got from them, I think I will stick with them. Quote
jbooker82 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 also the same crank that m&m atv and wicked atv are selling. Yea but they probably also would sell you a Hot Rods crank as well, if that is what you wanted. Quote
okbeast Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 also the same crank that m&m atv and wicked atv are selling. Really...I thought m&m was having his done by someone else. Not this chinese guy. Quote
AKheathen Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Really...I thought m&m was having his done by someone else. Not this chinese guy. i don't think the guy is chineese, and all the cranks in question are built with the options of differnet webbing, rods, bearings, and probably seals.....so yah, he probably picked out which he wanted of each component and had them built, which is, by definition, custom..... this is if, indeed, they are all being built at the same place. they still, are usually not the same crank 100% Quote

okbeast Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 I see. With all the problems Hot Rods and Wiseco's have been having, or that I've read about, this one can't be that much worse Quote
jbooker82 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 I see. With all the problems Hot Rods and Wiseco's have been having, or that I've read about, this one can't be that much worse I havent heard of any body posting up problems with hot rod's cranks on here. I have been running a used one I bought from jeff at fast for 2 years now. It was in a cub before I bought it. I have had a hot rods 4mill stroker crank in my raptor for 5 years now. Quote
