i ordered 18x10x8 hoelshot on .160 aluminum today

Next is the lonestar axle and A-arms(lonestar as-well)

i was going to get smaller front tires once i do the A-arms

Was also goiing to get the pre-load bottles for the front suspension, Is this a good combo for racing MX?

 

The lonestar a arms are really too expensive and you have to use the stock parts for them too, I dont know about the axle...I think team makes an axle too. The rezzies are a nice additon, but are expensive too. They keep the oil in the shocks cooler and that makes you have a better ride. None of these things are really neccessary to race mx though. I would recommend a HPD steering dampener, and nerf bars of some sort.

Hopefully you also got the 04' or some aftermarket hubs that accept the smaller lug offset. Otherwise you won't be able to bolt up the 8" wheels with the factory hubs.....

 

yea i got the 04 hubs

if the lonestar A-arms arent the answer who makes a good pair?

 

Rath Racing had a nice set on their website the last time I was on it. The lonestar arms are a joke, they use the stock ball joint so they are really no better than the stock arms. This will be the second season racing my predator and I'm still running the stock arms but I am on my second set of ball joints. I changed the front rims and went with a different offset which made it 2"s wider in the front.

There is no need to switch axles...the stock polaris unit is very strong. I would invest in the rezies for the front shocks and I hope you bought race rims or beadlocks for the rear. A normal rim will not hold up.
Make sure you put a kill switch on too.

 

i bought a kill switch but i cant get it to ground. I geuss i can only use the one from polaris, I want the axle to be longer and just as strong as the stock one. Is there anything else i can do besides changing the whole axle.

What rims for the front and what offset did you do to make it wider?

 

The only logical way to make anything wider is to buy + length things. As for your tether cord, we can help on that too...give say what is happening. I would still reccomend nerf bars too.

 

i got the nerf bars already, they are probably the best thing i bought so far,

here is the tether cord problem

i cant ground the kill switch to anything.....i tryed to ground it too the handle bars and nothing works, I also am having trouble finding the wire that controls the starting(letting the bike start). I thought i had everything set up right last weekend then when i pulled the cord out the bike started up and the starter motor kept running while the bike idled. I need it to cut out when i pull the cord and be ablt to start when i plug the cord in ( like its suposed to work?



my dad is stumped on this one too LOL

 

You don't need to ground it to the frame or anything, you can use the stock connection that comes on the predator. If you've got an electrical kit you can make it so the wires plug in. That's what I did anyway. I would have bought the polaris one for better connection. But my cousin had an extra one lying around so I just attached the two wires to the the cable polaris designed for the kill switch. I'ts right under the front plastic.

 

The polaris one is kinda a junker....I have a gunner tether, which is the good one...for it you just find a hot wire under the hood(a place where 3 wires go into a connection together-if i remember right) and I grounded it to the frame where the steering stem mounts to the frame.
