banshee_dlo_14 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm new to setting up quads for dragging and in search to find out the best and right way to set things up. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I should begin to set up my banshee for dragging? The banshee I have now currently has +2 swingarm and a-arms, with a wider axle(not sure how much). I know a longer swingarm is a must but how much is needed? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Swingarm length is determined by how much power you have...what kind of engine are you running? Also, what kind of terrain? Dirt, sand, asphalt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the process of getting it all together right now but I am aiming towards a Trinity built 420 stroker kit, drag pipes, alky carbs, v-force2 reeds, Vito's pistons(maybe??) cool head, and have them port and polish it. I'm not sure what kind of HP that will put out? The surface would be asphalt and/or hard packed dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 You're gonna need at least a +8 or +10 arm, might want to think about a wheelie bar too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalinIt Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'd think about a narrower drag axle, and a nice Marvin Shaw shock too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I run a +7 on my 10mill cub. You run a wheelie bar with that, right? I'd think about a narrower drag axle, and a nice Marvin Shaw shock too... Yes indeed...or a nice solid strut (my preference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I like a linkless rear and a Mavin with some good PSI in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam2 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am in the process of getting it all together right now but I am aiming towards a Trinity built 420 stroker kit, drag pipes, alky carbs, v-force2 reeds, Vito's pistons(maybe??) cool head, and have them port and polish it. I'm not sure what kind of HP that will put out? The surface would be asphalt and/or hard packed dirt. is this trinity's 420 that uses the stock jugs? if so, you would be much better off with a 421 cub, especially if you're going to drag race. i had a trinity 420 and it was a good setup and had a broader power band than the 421 cub that i have now but the cub runs much stronger on the topend. the cubs were designed for drag racing. plus, you'll find better prices for alot of things somewhere else.

bigboybanshee Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 the 421 cub is from RDZ racing correct? You can get a 421 cub from a LOT of different builders. The best thing to do though is get you a list of different builders (just doing a search on here will give you several to start with), call them all up. Talk to them about what you're wanting to do and whoever gives you the best feeling, go with them. I've had excellent dealings with F.A.S.T. racing, he does great work, superb customer service, and has almost everything you need in stock, or can get it quick. He'll have my business as long as I own quads :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
