ok i know that banshee rear axles will fit and i see some nice ones for around $100 and i was wondering how much i should pay for a banshee axle? also are there any other axles that will fit? Also how much longer are stock banshee axle over stock blaster axle?
 
ya but awk I have the 03 rear sprocket and the 03 rear brake hub with the 88 axle carrier and the 88 brake that has the cable
shudnt it fit now?
 
as far as i know, you need the 03+ brake hub and disc for the 03+ and banshee axles, and the cable brakes will not align with that combo. the 03+/shee brake disc is in a fixed position, too far in/out for the fixed cable caliper.
i believe you must to go hydro brakes with a 03+/banshee axle ?

i have zero experience with banshee axles, way too much mix and match BS. for me, and still only have a stock strength axle ?
i'd run wheel spacers before a banshee axle, as thats all your gaining is a few inches of width..... and a bunch of hassle.
 
I got my shee axle for $50 and took me no more than 10 minutes to swap it out with the old axle. I do have a 2003 Blaster so it was a direct swap
 
ok im gettn confuse now, i have the 88 axle carrier with the 03 axle,sprocket,and hub
with the 88 cable break and i got it to fit with the 03 hub and its in a fixed position so shudnt i be able to put a 03+ banshee axle and use the 03 hub and sprocket

I picked up my shee axel on craigslist for $20. Havent installed it yet but I got the brake rotor/hub with it. And I have a 03+ blasty carrier. I thought thats all that was needed to make it work.

you'll need the 03+ hyrdro brakes too ?

i don't think the cable caliper will bolt up to that carrier, nor align with the disc if used on a pre 03 carrier
see where i was going with the "too much hassle" ?
it's either all the way-$, or hassle

Yeah but you can easily fab up brackets to make things work. Plus some people like saving some money and can deal with the "hassle".

Exactly. If your patient, you can find all parts you need to make banshee axle work for 1/2 the cost of a new durablue or lonestar. You also get the satisfaction of making it work and customizing pieces, not just throwing an axle in and calling it a day.

I'm gonna say yes! If 03 axle is working for you now then all the bashee axle will do is widen it! Good post!

so i should be able to have an 03+ axle on my laster and it shud just be a direct swap
I thought you already have thaT? NOW IM CONFUSED! :-/
 
If you have a 03 axle and hub on your blaster now and the brakes are good, The banshee axle will be a direct swap and work the same way but be 3.5" longer on each side!
