dirtworxboy Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Dirt, Sand, Asphalt guys. What you think this MSD set up is worth? I don't know anything bout this setup so any info will help. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 There is definitely weight to be saved on the battery these days. FTZ did a lot with those when they came out. They are mostly doing small sprint car type stuff these days, but it might be worth giving them a call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Looks like a big fucking hassle to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I have a setup similar and I think it was $2500 new. Or maybe it was $1500, I don't remember.. But it ain't cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think someone mentioned that awhile ago when a couple pics were posted in my build thread. I don't plan on using this setup, just thinking bout selling it. If it comes down to it, I'll give them a holla. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtworxboy Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 What are your intentions with the bike? Set records, or have fun? Just a fun adrenaline fix. Probably won't see any dirt, just some sand and possibly a couple dunes. OEM route is what I'm wanting to go, as I was told it's a lot less hassle and easy to work with.

Appreciate the numbers J-Madd. Are a lot of guys running this kind of set up at the tracks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you didn't pay much for that! What you have is a cobbled up mess. A tab is broke off the box, the power supply looks like a fire hazard, the batteries are old and probably out of spec, there just isn't much there that has value IMO. I would keep it, clean it up, leave the wife/kids home one weekend, and play with it. Probably won't see any magical gain, but you will learn a few things in the process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This came as a package deal with the engine. Way you describe it, it has be pretty old school then? Got some stuff for a good setup, just not a good layout. Winters almost here and that means nothing but time. I work at a weld shop so I'll see what they have to clean it up. Got any suggestions for the power source?

sleeper06 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Unfortunately the set up is too expensive for 99% of the banshee community. That's the main reason no one fucks with it from a business standpoint. Builders cater to customer wants and most want cheap, do I think there's a need for a aftermarket ignition system in the asphalt community , he'll yeh. Most guys can't comprehend the effects of timing as you progress down the track . If I never played with street bikes in a drag platform I wouldn't know either but we see major gains with the rite tune, I also have seen an 8sec bike run 10s with the wrong tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Why not run a reg battery set up wit a doc stator n charging system. The small Li batteries are light and easy to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Look at the flywheel picture again and you will realize the issue with your last comment. Im guessing you get 3-500 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Gotcha, didn't look that close, what about a small lithium battery with battery tender leads so u can plug in wherever, only benefit with the way it is , is having extra charged batteries waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
