01bansheefox Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Or do you mainly stick with the low end pipes? Quote
Banshee17Racing Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I know I wouldn't want Rockets on the tracks around here. But I've seen some vids of "MX tracks" where you could get away with running Rocket pipes. I wanna say somebody on here does run Rockets for MX, I just can't remember who. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 not tryin to stir anything up, but runnin mx with rocket pipes is like masturbating with a cactus, just dont make sense. yes there are some tracks that you COULD use rocket pipes on, but who's gonna buy a set of pipes that are only good for one track? i'd stick with my mid-low pipes, becasue a banshee will still scream in the straighaways' no matter what pipes your runnin.

ellison445 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Ouchhhhhhhhh Damn Jeff, hell of a way to put it not tryin to stir anything up, but runnin mx with rocket pipes is like masturbating with a cactus, just dont make sense. yes there are some tracks that you COULD use rocket pipes on, but who's gonna buy a set of pipes that are only good for one track? i'd stick with my mid-low pipes, becasue a banshee will still scream in the straighaways' no matter what pipes your runnin. 391494[/snapback] Quote
bigboybanshee Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 but runnin mx with rocket pipes is like masturbating with a cactus 391494[/snapback] LMFAO Quote
wesw Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 all the bouncing around and jumping i would be afraid of burning your legs on the dunes you could get away with it but your not jumping as much as mx Quote
superchicken Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 ive run a few tracks with them.it took a little work on gearing,but sometimes no matter what type of pipes people like to change the gearing around for different tracks Quote
01bansheefox Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Posted July 13, 2005 Well it seems most of you are against them for MX, then wtf is everyoen telling me you loose NO bottom end you gain and gain ALOT on top end.... From what i have been told there good EVERYWHERE and A+++ on top. Quote
superchicken Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 from my experiance,rockets have a different power band,from my old fmf's still have alot of torque down low but i also run 17-41 gears.so like i said with proper gearing you may like them.it would really depend on you and your riding charachteristics.if your a hard charger, fast in,brake late and power out of corners like me,i think youll like them for mx.13-41 for mx i think would be great,to keep it in the r's for instant response and getting on the pipe immediatly Quote

Fireman-hott Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Dont matter what pipes you run, minus outta frames, it willall come down to your gearing and tire combination. 13/41 may not be as shiftingofa frenzy as you think hell he may be running a 22" tire, doubtful but that would put him equal to 15/41 gearing with 18" tires which I run in tight trails ona drag motor(cub) and rockets and absolutely love it. I put 20" tires on with the 15/41 gearing and it blew dick, very big difference in response. Gearing quite possibly the most overlooked aspect of racing period. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 all you need is gears and you can run any pipe out there. rockets will be fine on the mx track once your bike is geared properly. and all them suckers runnin pt mids that quitm aking power at 8000rpm will be sorry when youre blasting by at 10 grand...

superchicken Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 when youre blasting by at 10 grand... 392961[/snapback] thats a great fealing too,you see the turn there head a bit,but by then your already passed.i love it. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 yea comparing the pt's to rockets is like comparing...ummm....corvettes and civics?? Quote
