Ryder25 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 My brother and I built this hybrid 2 years ago for ice racing. It has been absolutely amazing. But now, we want to put a banshee motor in it for the 2013 ice racing season. I've joined the forum because I've seen a few conversions, and I want to find a motor and learn more about the best way to build a TT banshee motor. I'm not afraid to cut apart the frame to get this thing to fit nicely. I've got a few spare frames to play with too. I see people are wanting rolling chassis. I've got a complete stock rolling chassis for sale as well, I'll post pics of that soon. Its an 06 stock chassis with 12.8 hours on trails (hour meter), stole motor out of it and it has sat ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder25 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Its going to take a while. I still have to find a banshee motor, haha. I joined this site to get some help in that department. But it WILL be done by January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 what engine is in it now? looks like a clean setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 looks like candy blue.. looks like a crf450 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder25 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 trx450r motor (06+ style). I can't remember the blue color. I'm not replacing this engine, just building another quad almost identical to this with a banshee engine. I won't have the ti a-arms or aluminum axle on my hybrid but most everything else is going to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 sweet! what motor did you go with? twister? la-sleeve? kinda hard to tell (kinda) throw up some more pictures! always nice to see one built with a little care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder25 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks camatv. I really went through your pictures and did things as cleanly as possible. I didn't take any other pictures. It was a supposed to be a very secretive build for this ice racing season. I'll have pictures up in about a week with more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I am so fucking stoked to see a big motor hybrid set up for Ice Racing! I actually saw one of your links on the TRX site while just browsing for the local racers and was trying to get that video where you go from last to first to upload. Then I saw the pics of the new hybrid and had to get here to check it out. Man Ryder, you sure can keep a secret! Let me know what that thing does.
