LSR vs Laeger's frame

[From Mild TO Wild!]

Anyone know why Laegers frame coats more? They both have 250r geos and I don't know why Laegers would be worth more money. Thanks guys for input.

The laeger frame is far better. It uses 250R front angle suspension, with T-spindles, which make it very easy to turn no matter how much pressure is on the front end. No bind on anywere on the suspension as they do not use ball joints. The rear shock is out of a CR500 modified works shock and can give you any were between 11 - 13 inches of travel. This quad was designed by Marc Laeger and is today even one of the best set up ever. I have one that I built in 95 and yes it is pricey but well worth it. Won lot of races with it. Very hard to find one used, no one will let thiers go. New frame from Scott at Laegers is around $8500. Comes with steering stem, a arms, spindles, tie rods, rear swign arm. Power coated. Few items you will need, will be CR500 link off a 91 or newer CR500. Bearing carrier included with swing arm.

I thought you could get a Lonestar frame with 250R geometry suspension too...

 

I believe the Laeger's frame is a little stronger (the current Lonestar chassis is pretty good though), plus as stated before the T-pin setup is superior... but far more costly for initial purchase and continued maintenance.

Riding both I would go with the Laegers frame. The frames themselves are both very strong and durable. However as stated above, the front T spindle of the Laeger is far superior. When I built my frames I had some minor fitment issues with the Lonestar that was not present with the Laegers.

 

If doing it again I would go with Laegers.

 

Just my .02
