[shakar]

http://www.bansheedepot.com/products.asp?cat=27 anyone tried one of the tdr cranks. price seems good 400$ for a 10mm crank ......huh

 

somthing dont sound right any info

Think it's a Denny Wang crank. Same description as eBay. Stay away. I like the tz style bearing.

I have a TDR 10mil- haven't ran it yet but I did some research before I bought it.

They are made in Taiwan where most banshee cranks are made. TDR trues/welds them and mine looks welded good.

They come with standard bearings, upgrade that!

I can't see how they would be any worse then a Hotrods, Vitos, or Wiseco crank.

10mils in general have a rep for pulling apart- get straight cut gears!

[Paulie B]

Not sure what you guys are talking about but I can check mine out for you if you need.

[Dicklez]

I dont think so.... the Denny wang cranks are "black" lobes as well as a black center bearing these are polished.

 

 

 

 

Im debating on giving the 7mil a whirl on my next build

 

Maybe a Wang wanna be. Lol. 400 for a NEW 10mill crank? Maybe used. U get what u pay for

Unless you think about how much more does it really cost to make a 10mil over a stock crank.

Hey if it's a good crank for 4 hundy, that's cool!

Not denny wang cranks, they are wsm cranks and very cheaply made.

I called and talked directly to Tony a few weeks back about his 10 mil cranks. What it boiled down to was this: If i wanted a really GOOD 10mil,,go with his $800 10 mil. He personally puts those together and checks everything himself. The components are of higher quality too. The $400 one,,,,well, he said IF,,IF i would not abuse it ( aka over-rev ,etc) it should be fine ,as most crank failures are rider induced. Like it or not,that seems to be the case. For my peace of mind,I'll stick with his $800 crank and KNOW who put it together.

I thought it was like a denny wang crank. I went through this debate when I built my 10mill. Bottom line is that if its wsm or wang, its a gamble. Personally I didnt want to risk the 1500 in my topend with some cheap shit crank. IMO.

[BANSHEE HP]

cheaply made vs what? a billet or cheaper then lets say a Hotrods?

 

Loose/tight tolerances, cheap bearings, tiny tac welds after the crank has been assembled. Straight from wsm. They maybe fine as a stock replacement crank but last I checked stock was 36hp and not a 10mm stroke.

What crank did you choose?

[camatv]

the crank in my 10 mill is the 800 dolla tdr crank its fordged and has been very reliable.

 

in my OPINION a 10 mill crank should cost the same as the 350cc oem replacement. all they are doing is moving the pin location.

 

i went with fordged after seeing crank after crank failure with billet cranks. even in the automotive performance industry billet cranks are known to fail horribly

[Paulie B]

ok so I know the forged 10 mil crank can be made solid

 

 

But what about their 4 and 7mil cranks?

 

 

From what I gather TDR just uses the regular plain jane stock bearings and hot rod rods?

This is what I've been told.
