banshee a arms on blaster?

[blaster003]

i found +2 +1 banshee arms new on eBay for 200 bucks seems like a good deal does anyone know the difference in the mounting positions is there any way to make them fit? cause a set of asr a arms are way to much for me. i have seen the yfz setup so this couldn't be to hard could it?

the banshee arms are wider at the frame mounts than blasters, and serious modification and welding will be required for them to work

 

[blaster003]

how much wider are the mounts?

how much wider are the mounts?

sounds like you're about to buy those and let us know

check in the suspension or DIY sections for Blaners thread on putting YFZ arms on a blaster, and figure to do about the same fabrications

i'd also bet +2 on a banshee isn't +2 on a blaster, probably more

I successfully put stock Banshee front suspension in a Blaster. Never again! Way too much work. It started out, "I've got all the parts laying around. It'll widen the suspension, and convert to disc brakes at the same time. It LOOKS like they're fairly close to fitting." WRONG! Close doesn't cut it. The short version is that I used the front lower mounts in their original position. Then I moved the rear lower mount rearward. Great, the lower control arm is mounted. Then I swapped the upper control arms side to side, relocated the upper mounts on the frame, then cut the shock mount off the lower control arm and moved it back, then cut the upper shock mount out of the frame and replaced it with a shock mount from a junk frame and welded it in farther back in the frame.
