Axle Width

[oldskooolracer]

OK, I WENT AND MEASURED THE TRI Z and the axle is like 38-39"s


is that a bit much or no? the swinger is only like a and inch longer then stock


also the mounting point for the rear shock is way lower then the blaster
do you think this will be an issue?

you can see here the mount is lower then the carb on the TRI Z

i havent started to tear it down completly yet i want to get the manual just in case before i start unplugging everything.


the shock has the linkage setup on it i'm guessing that is good and a reso
so we'll see.

my goal is to not tear apart my blaster at all and just use mostly the tri z parts.

dude it will be sick when your done

 

[oldskooolracer]

i'm betting on it at this point


i want to suprise some people at the track with it,lol.


nobody looks twice at a blaster until it passes them,lol.


the front kick might be hard to hide,, of course so are the radiators.

 

[blasterrider119]

ya lol i want to see vids when its done

 

[oldskooolracer]

it'll be a little bit i still have to wrangle up a welder

and more spare time that the wife wont kill me over

the goal is when this one is done she gets the other one.

my wifes blaster with the banshee axle is 44 inches from out side edge to outside ege of the tires.. my blasster is 51 with the g force and my off set rims... .. using the tri z shock might set it alil lower but that can be a good thing

i measured the axle from the start of the splines for the hubs since the hubs are off..


lower wont kill it any probably more stable.


my goal is to either to the diamond J or extended front arms and possibly a
banshee steering stem, i don't know what to do yet about front hubs
i'm not rich so i'm limited on what i can do.


hell i wish i had the money to paint the frame after i'm done welding on it.


of course in my book fast comes first sometimes it's funner to whoop ass
on something that looks old..... SLEEPER maybe


oh well i need to learn how to ride better before i can say that

 

[oldskooolracer]

i need to take the "how to not suck" riding course
