Blaster or Banshee

[tjscott]

I can only speak from my own experience, and I have had several 2 strokes that seemed to run hotter than the 4 stroke I had. The point is a 4 stroke will run longer without a rebuild mainly due to the not so great lubrication of a 2 stroke. And this lack of lube along with the constant fire burning up top can cause hot spots throughout the motor. And while I cant say anything about how well they disperse heat at low speed as I dont do much low speed riding. I will say that low speeds tend to lead to fouled plugs.
Both The 2 and 4 strokes should prove to be plenty reliable provided they are properly maintained. The 2 stroke just requires a little more in depth maintenance like rings and pistons where the 4 stroke needs oil changes and oil filters.

But this doesn't matter anyway. He's asking about a blasty and a shee.
As far as which is better I would say if you want all out speed get a shee if you want something light and easy on gas get a blasty.

true, a top end does last longer on a four stroke
but that is made up for on how much easier it is to do on yourself and on your wallet on the two stroke.
the four stroke is still more likely to break down than the 2, id still rather have a four stroke, but you get my point.
both four and two strokes foul plugs, its a fact, the two stroke is only more likely because some people cant jet worth a damn, which more likely causes fouled plugs on 2 strokes than 4's
i had a 3 year plug in my rm.

definately a banshee, i switched to a banshee from a full mod blaster that is my profile pic and since i dont even ride the blaster im selling it. I never can get bored of the banshee..... banshee is the way to go

blaster is more reliable then a banshee. its got less sh*t that can go wrong on it!

 

[thefastestkidontheblock]

less sh*t???? the blaster has what a few things less? one piston, one rod, one plug. and the only thing unreliable in banshee is teh water pump. but with 60 bucks that is no longer a problem.

well with reliability i think the blaster because the banshees axles break alot or atleast my friend does but for everything else the banshee obviously wins

was your friend running a wheel spacer?

 

[thefastestkidontheblock]

the banshee axle is stronger than a blaster. i know they go through carrier bearings fast as hell.

im not sure but hed go through like 3 axles a year that y he got rid of it

 

[thefastestkidontheblock]

3 axles a year? even with wheel spacers, the axle shouldn't break that easily, the spacer or hub would. something is wrong if he is going through that many axles. sh*t, my brothers shee has a bent frame and the swingarm is slightly bent and he still has the stock axle, he just goes through axle bearings very quick. also, after breaking the first axle, it seems like you would buy a stronger axle that comes with the life time warranty

 

[01 fmf blaster]

yea well that why he sold it

was your friend a huge person that took his shee off 100ft cliffs?
