EastCoast Banshee Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hey guys im looking to do a full XC setup this summer but i still want to be able to hit the track some. I know for sure in gonee go with a -2 Swing arm and elkas or tcs in the front. I was also looking into a set of Fox Float Shocks but i havent herd much about them so any info you know would be helpfull. As for up front i cant decided between +1 or +2 a-arms. But iv herd most tracks are designed for 50in quads so maybe thats not an issue. Also im gonna get a steering stabalizer. Well if anyone out there could help shed alittle light oon a good setup plz do im open to any suggestions. Thank in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 id go +2 and get a scotts stabilizer, you'll be glad you did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) +2 arms, and get new rims with a 4+1 offset. As far as floats go, I haven't seen anyone thats got them for the banshee yet (I haven't seen too many people that have them period). But every single person that I've seen that's gotten them for any quad raves about them. Im considering getting a pair.

squish Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I had a -2 swing arm awhile and didnt like the loss of travel. Went to a -1. I raced my banshee in harescrambles for two years and liked that setup the best. Turns nice through the trees. I used noss steering stabilizer sold my sloppy gpr. I sent my rear shock to shane 200% better. The +2 +1 arms and -1 swing arm made a real nice center of gravity set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thx ill have to consider a -1 instead. One other thing my stock shee is 42in wide with stock offset on the rims iv been looking at some brand new +3 Lonestar a-arms for 500$. do you think 48in is to wide for the woods bc for that price its very tempting not to get them.

Shoulld make it a little easier to turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 gncc\XC guys run 45-46 inch front widths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) how is that measured? tire centerlines, wheel mount surface, frame tube to frame tube? lol Edited June 14, 2006 by gimmeabeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Awsome thx meat exactly what i wanted to know. And hopfully later tonight ill put in the order for the a-arms and streamline brake lines. I think you measure it from the bottom of the tires considering you have negitive camber.

Meat Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 measured at the widest spot at yor front tires.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Those Fox float shocks are pretty sweet, light weight and easy to adjust. A guy had them on a YFZ and Chris (ridingorhiding) rode it and said they were smoother than anything he's ridden (he runs triple or quad rate Elkas on Janssen LT arms), I didn't try them myself and don't know how well they hold up in the long run, but I would take a serious look at 'em...

knight_ripper Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I run a purty nice XC setup. im 50", and I have to adjust my lonestar's to run the track. I have a stock swinger...and she is real hard on me on the track. but in the desert, shee is one to recon with. the TCS's are a dream....yet I have yet to run elkas. I also run 22" rear tires and 23" fronts, and without the width shee was hard as hell to keep on all fours. Once I got the +4 on her, man shee treaks like a car. Also .... antivibe steering stem with a gpr stabalizer is freakin awesome. those along with tag2 fat bars have taken away all my arm pump. I can run 4 hours staight and get off my quad and do pushups. the 500 for the dampner is well worth the change. the gpr is adjustable on the fly. and when Im running desert races, I change that bad boy from a 2 in the rock gardens to an 8 in the straights. and when its on 8 I can take my hands off the bars and shee treaks in a straight line. try that on a 150 dollar dampner at 90 miles an hour.
