mailman Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 I was wondering if anyone knows who might make custom banshee dampers out of Delrin. It seems like the stock banshee rubber dampers are not hard enough to keep the engine from moving around and causing chain issues during the launch. It would be nice to find someone who already wrote a CNC program for the piece instead of everyone inventing their own wheel. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Mailman Quote
lms1977 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 I feel like something is moving as well once in a while I have felt like my chain has skipped a tooth or tryed to with a weird feel when under full power on big hill??? I could make some of these up it would be easy to do I have cnc equipment Quote

Mailman Do you have the tension rods properly installed under the engine? Quote
Coupelx Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 this has ran through my mind also. wouldnt even need a cnc just a lathe and mcmastercarr has some stock that would work perfectly. Quote
mailman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 Do you have the tension rods properly installed under the engine? It is in a hillshooter chassis. I have one strut under the motor right now and it is a solid adjustable strut. I will be adding a second one. The motor is a triple cylinder banshee so it is heavier than stock. I had this same issue on my Cheetah too. I think the stock rubber dampers are too soft to handle the power when you launch. The rubber gives and the motor twists and then the chain alignment is off and the chain skips on the rear sprocket. I am talking with a member on here who is a machinist who is willing to make one for me. I will be sending him all the measurements. I was thinking of having just one long piece vs. the two separate damper mounts. Any input from you guys would be great. Quote
lms1977 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 I would use 2 pcs so you dont wear on the case Quote
