highroller355 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 just as title says, ive heard blaster and raptor to shorten it up and a little lighter Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 We have went over all this in a thread i started a week or so ago.....check it out Quote
theshee Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I have heard this too. But a rap 700 takes a 40mm carrier, banshees have a 35mm. Maybe it is a 660 axle they are swapping? Quote

BaNsHeeJuNkEy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 well if anyone wants a raptor 700 axle and carrier i have one with nothing wrong. it is off a 08 mint not bent or anything. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Blaster axle is narrower and I would assume lighter too. People do it to save money instead of buying a drag axle. It works well if you're not pushing a lot of HP, but once you start making some serious power, you should really look into getting an aftermarket drag axle. Lighter and stronger than stock, w/ full adjustability. :shrug: I don't know anything about the raptor axles... Quote
flotek Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 the 03 and up blaster axle is around 3 inches shorter putting it about 28 inches in length if i rememebr correctly .it is plenty strong and yes its lighter than a banshee ,as far as power distribution with it,i have never seen any issue regarding that and i run it on my methanol cub. i think its a good mod if yo u dont have half a grand to throw at your rear end only to save probably 3 pounds over this setup ,just my opinion .

Curt Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Any 660 raptor axle will work, and most blaster axle's also, blastes is alot shorter,I have seen one project where he had make a mount because it did not come all the way out on brake said i dont remember. But the reason for the shorter axle is not all a weight issue's it is for a Strighter lunch out of the hole, and also be able to move the bike with body english.. I have a JJ-A axle and runs down the track i really never have to turn mostly body english... GOOD LUCJK Quote
