rjayb Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Here's a link Erik sent me on the 450r caster flaw: http://www.walshrc.com/?product=yfz450r-caster-bracket Here's another one I found from Houser racing addressing the same issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNKXUzJmaR8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybobby Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 If this happens. It's going to stay with the outlaw geometry but use 450 suspension and components. The sad deal, Bobby didn't offer much promise on it. He said designing a new frame for a banshee is not high on the list. At this point with how busy they are he said even the original outlaw is not happening. He said in May they "might" be up for it. I'm guessing if there is a solid number of people having cash ready for a mx frame, suspension and components..... it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bummer but I guess we're a huge minority in the banshee world. I'm sure I would be very happy with the outlaw as it has been built in the past.

99michael Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think I'd be more than happy with the way it is too. But am curious as to what the going rate is for the frame. They just show the stock style chromoly frame on there site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just show the stock style chromoly frame on there site. my understanding is about 2,500 for the outlaw in 250r form. Addressing some of the carb, filter, and pipe problems would be nice though.

m671054 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Maybe fireball racing might be interested in this project. They build suspension parts and drag chassis already. Might be worth a try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybobby Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I called LSR today... Anyone here still interested in a outlaw frame? Bobby said he can most likely make it happen if I can round up a small group. I have two buddies who are both thinking on it. He did say it would be a 250r based frame still . He did tell me he would get back to me with a complete package deal price based on 3-4 frames with suspension components. I think if enough people were in on this we could talk LSR into something that would fit newer components. I would haul my outlaw to them and go through things I would want improved upon...Pipe fitment, airbox/filter fitment and suspender parts. I am about a month out on this. I had a bad business fire and am working hard on getting all of that glory back together. Let me know.... Fire and gym equipment not a great combo.

dankengineering Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Id be interested in the package deal, let me know when they give you all the info sent from somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Post specifics OT has been good and this would be awesome. Too bad it couldn't be the yfz450r set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybobby Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Just a GUESS but I would imagine if there is enough of us (5-10?) willing to spend 2500-3500ish on a frame. We could get them to build a YFZ or TRX based frame. Really it needs to be done with the idea of newer components. If not replacement parts will be hard/costly to get and our hands are tied up with LSR only suspension parts.

rjayb Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for following up Rodger. I just finished my MX track so I'm definitely still interested. Keep me in the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe if my new job goes the way I hope, my banshee fund should grow pretty quickly. I'd like to know what they would do as far as part availability. I'm not a fan of LSR parts really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
