race-a-holic Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I have a problem with my banshee spinning the tires like crazy.I was at a guys field today.They have a 300ft track.There's no grass on it,and they watered it down to help with the dust.It ruts down about 3 inches and then it's hard packed.The paddle tires were useless.Had them still on from yesterday's ride.My friend was using my pro wedges.He beat everybody.His should be making around 55-60 hp.Mine should be around 90.I'm thinking maybe the pro wedges and gear it really high.Any suggestions?

You need pro wedges for that kind of racing. Give me a holler. Quote

bigboybanshee Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I've got a set if I can ever get them away from Michael.LOL!He was tearing the 450's up yesterday. I was gonna ask you what happened to the almost brand new set I sold you...make sure you mount them backwards...you will not have any problems hooking :beer: Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 anyone have pics of the pro wedges? are they the snow tires? Quote
bigboybanshee Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 Here's a pic of them mounted on my bike Quote
race-a-holic Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 Here's Michael with "MY"LOL! pro-wedges.He would just pull away from all the 4-strokes.There is some pretty fast 450's out there though. Quote
race-a-holic Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Their not real heavy although I've never weighed them. Quote
wesw Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 what gearing is he running with those pro wedges. does he start in sec gear. Quote
race-a-holic Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 He's using 13/41.He takes off in second.I'm thinking he could move up to a 14/41.He's spinning off the line pretty good but hooks up and beats them to the finishline.Better have a fast banshee because the 450's are running really good.

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 yep those are the tires I was thinking of... sure beats running paddles on the dirt.... how expensive are they? Quote
bigboybanshee Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 yep those are the tires I was thinking of... sure beats running paddles on the dirt.... how expensive are they? I can't remember exactly but I think I paid around $250/260 new with wheels Quote
race-a-holic Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 yep those are the tires I was thinking of... sure beats running paddles on the dirt.... how expensive are they? Yeah,they would be better.The paddles were doing all they could though.If you'll look in the picture,you'll see where they were taking off from.Well,I was told that my banshee was throwing dirt across the road into those peoples yard.LOL!

420_Big_Bore Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 He's using 13/41.He takes off in second.I'm thinking he could move up to a 14/41.He's spinning off the line pretty good but hooks up and beats them to the finishline.Better have a fast banshee because the 450's are running really good. I was also wondering, i was running 14/41 with my normal tires (dominators) and was spinning off the line in 2nd easy, but when i changed to pro wedges i could not take off in 2nd so i went to 1st. So now i geared it 16/40 and will be taking off in 1st - 4th or 5th gear. Is this ok or should i just gear it 2nd to 6th with 13/41? Quote
