nightmanx1 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Ok, I am looking at going to a Banshee for drag racing. I am now on a 65hp/45lbs tq craptard that I want to turn back to a trail bike. I want to start with somthing will handle the power I will want in the future. It will mostly be used for racing on sand and at the locat track. I am not what direction to start, only want to do the frame once. I am deffently going to be running alcahol. Quote
sprinklerman Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Call wheelman, turbochassis, or tyson for your frame. 1 Quote
troyzstang Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Location? How deep are your pockets? Stock frames do pretty damn good if ya ask me. Quote
nightmanx1 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Posted November 9, 2013 You dont want to know what i have in my craptor. I am going to take my time and do this one a little here and there. My last 2 stroke was a 1984 honda 250r 3 wheeler and a 1987 yamaha 570 exciter sled, that I still have. I am in Kansass. Quote
rjdgriff Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 What part of Ks? I'm also in Ks Quote
troyzstang Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 I can imagine. Honestly I've seen some serious cash invested in four strokes and Slightly built banshees still dominate at the track. And I'm not being a smart ass. I own both By the way Welcome to Bansheehq. Troy Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 10, 2013 Report Posted November 10, 2013 after seeing this video a while back, i think id keep the raptor for a drag bike and buy a banshee to play with 60' like no other. No idea what it cost to build a bike like that and it doesnt matter if it's more than a banshee. it dominates. Although if anyone cares to disclose what a bike like that cost to build, id love to know. Quote
KaN Powersports Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 You can easily put 3000-3500 into the crank, rod, and piston alone! Another 1500 into cams and head, The standard pricing on frame/ clutch set-up. Dollar for dollar, you can go faster on a Banshee.... But it's all in what you like. 4's are getting faster and faster by the minute. But I personally still love the 2!! ..... Quote
nightmanx1 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Posted November 11, 2013 Well I have 500 in the crank, 250 in piston, 200+in valves, 175 in springs, 150 in cam and 750 in a set of FCR's. Now I am at a point of needing a port job. I think I am going to put that $$$ into a few parts for a 10mil engine. Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 You can easily put 3000-3500 into the crank, rod, and piston alone! Another 1500 into cams and head, a banshee billet 10mil crank is about $1000. CP jugs like a cub or serval are around 800 before port work, there's carbs, head, domes etc. Yeah it's cheaper but that's been done over and over. it's good to see something new get quicker. Quote
KaN Powersports Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 ^^^I don't disagree. Just pointing out that dollar for dollar you get more out of a 2 I have built a lot of 4's as well. I sponsor 2 MX riders for our area, and they are both 4's (Our 3rd racer is on a 2) All of them run well, and not one of the riders finished the season's series under 2nd place. I have turbocharged Raptors for people as well. The 4's have been coming a long way, and are competitive, and are among us like it or not .... I agree about the over and over part-so much so, that you have spelled it out for us! You can buy a stroke crank in about any size, production mono-blocks, about any dome conceivable, and with a pocket full of change there's a 10mil sitting in every garage! But I see this in the 4's now as well-so much so, that China is puking parts out to us left and right. Whole lot of absolute garbage for pennies on the dollar! Innovation has gone backward, pride has gone down hill, and there is a pretty chromed 'time bomb' in the back of every trailer-so to speak!! Modifying is where my heart is, and just bolting together a bunch of "over-the-counter" parts to make a modded bike IS the reason there is so much misconception, and false information rolling around out there about the basics and physics of a thing as simple as an internal combustion engine. But the punchline is to this whole thing for me is to Have Fun and Enjoy Doing it!!!! Very good point RagunCajun-and, in short, I couldn't agree more- Quote
Coupelx Posted November 11, 2013 Report Posted November 11, 2013 Bang for the buck is the banshee. Shit you can build one without ever going to yamaha. Quote
