2strokes4u Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 So I want to get rid of my front hubs and use Jr Drag Wheels. Someone said that they make adapter to fit the banshee spindle. Most that I have looked up stated that they would not work for tapered spindles. Can someone let me know which adapter kit works for the Jr Dragster front wheels to fit on the banshee spindles. Quote
CottonBranchRacing Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 You just need the right bearings Quote
shanYE west Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 I think he wants to retain the stock spindles but use Jr. Dragster spindle mounts. Quote
troyzstang Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 Pretty sure Cotton is right. I went to a local bearing supplier and got exactly what I needed to make spindle mounts work on my stock tapered spindles. Maybe I just got lucky . Or maybe the fuckers will fall off while I'm flying down the track. Quote

2strokes4u Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Posted August 13, 2014 Forgive me for not being knowledgeable in this. So if I buy a wheel for 5/8th spindles. I need to replace the bearing that comes with it, with one that will fit my stock spindle? Will I need a spacer since the jr dragster wheel is so small? Do it matter what side the spacer go on? .

trickedcarbine Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 To be honest, you might have to search through a bunch of threads here about it. Or even Atvdragracer. There are a few ways guys are doing it. Quote
2strokes4u Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks. Think im going to go the route of getting a single arm setup with 5/8 straight spindle. I need to lighten up front anyway. Thanks for all the input. Quote
10milmike Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 my JR dragster with stock spindle and brake mounts. like cotton said all you need is a different bearing. Quote

shanYE west Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 depends on the wheels. Pretty sure Cotton is right. I went to a local bearing supplier and got exactly what I needed to make spindle mounts work on my stock tapered spindles. Maybe I just got lucky . Or maybe the fuckers will fall off while I'm flying down the track. My 10x2's wouldn't fit with just a simple bearing swap. I had to use spacers to account for the added length of the banshee spindle vs. a 5/8 Jr. Dragster spindle. Jr. Dragster 5/8 spindles on left.. same wheels on banshee spindles that needed spacers on the right. I'll snap a pic in a bit of the spacers that Alcoholbanshee made for me. Quote
2slo4u Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 is the frame on the left the one from the atvdragracers raffle? Quote
shanYE west Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 no, I had that chassis long before the ATVD raffle.. though I sure would like to get my hands on another Ziggy chassis. Quote
