Sheedawg28 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Hey fellas so I've been doing some research on here only to become more confused. At first I was set on going with a +2 +1 and I forget the size of the wheel I think it was 4+1. Then I've also been seeing people saying to go with a +3+1 with the 4+1 wheel combo in the front. So which one is it?! I just bought the LSR rear axle and saw that that's only adjustable to a +3 so I'm trying to figure out my set up. Thanks in advance for any replies. Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Exactly what width are you trying to achieve? Is mx riding your primary type of riding? Quote
Sheedawg28 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 Whatever width works best for MX on the banshee. My ltr I had at the limit of 50" that are allowed with the walsh a-arms and fox floats so I'm trying to do a similar set up with the banshee I just want to get your guys suggestion. MX will be primary, then desert/ sand dunes. Quote
mhoksch Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 I have 3-1 arms and 4-1 wheels and I think I'm just under 50" Quote
Sheedawg28 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 Ok I see..Did you ever have the 2-1? I don't want to go to the 3-1 if the thing is just going to push through corners is my concern. What your set up on the rear? Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 +3 +1 arms with 4-1 wheels will give you the best results primarily riding mx. Your pushing concerns will be affected by the angle of caster of your front spindles and the length of your rear swing arm. Look for quality a-arms that allow you to adjust the caster. For a swing arm run a stock length or even a minus 1" - 2" The shorter swing arm will enhance turning and reduce front end push quite a bit. You will also gain traction doing this. Some guys run 48" rear width and some run 50". That seems to be a personal preference. 2 Quote
Sheedawg28 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 Awesome thanks Laeger that's exactly the info I was looking for. Which is the set up I'll purchase today. Thank you very much I'll post up my set up on this banshee. I plan on doing it to two of them with different arms. 1 Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 What a-arms are you planning to buy? Quote
Sheedawg28 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 Going with lone stars dc's and JD MGC on the other. Quote
Sheedawg28 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 So JD arms take a 17.5" shock and but the fireball LT arms take a 19.5" what do you guys think I should go with with the second set up Quote

Sheedawg28 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 They're just over priced arms. I get 25% off on them and I still wouldn't buy them. Quote

Sheedawg28 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 What's the point in spending another 6-7 hundred dollars on arms that have the same adjustability and put the quad out the same amount of inches as others and forward some with the same if not better adjustability as others. If Houser made the MGC arms for the banshee I'd be buying those bc of the ease of adustability. Also you can't beat lifetime warrantee on lonestar or JD. Quote
