I just picked up a Blaster today and after looking it over I realized that the rear hubs are a different pattern than my Warrior. Is it possible to swap the stock Blaster hubs for Warrior or Banshee hubs? If not, is there a cheap conversion for this? I'd like to keep the same bolt pattern on them both, but maybe it would just be cheaper to buy more rims/tires.
If I have to buy rims, whats the best deal on some 9's for the rear? I think the 8's look a little too small.

Another question...has anyone used a Warrior hydraulic brake on the rear of a Blaster? I saw a mount for the caliper on e-bay, but does it work well and is it an easy install?

Thanks!

The hubs from a banshee ( rear only ) can be swapt with a blaster but is a different bolt pattern, Im not sure about the warrior.

 

is it hard to swap them? do u u have to pound away at them to get them off or do u just take the pin out and pull em off

 

Its easy to pull the hubs....at least it was on my Warrior. First remove the tires. Then you just pull the pin out, take off the hub bolt (I used an impact wrench for this), then you may have to tap it off. Mine actually just slid off fairly easily. I figure this is a cheap way to be able to get some 9" rims for the rear. I see nearly new raptor/warrior/banshee rims on e-bay all the time for sometimes real cheap.

Thanks for the help!

yeah i was just wonderin cuz ima take my cuz's hubs' off his shee that dosnt run and put them on mine and run some paddle tires and change them during practice runs at the drag strip near us, i wanna see how it handles with the paddles

 

Blaster hubs can be swapped with a raptor, warrior, or banshee and vice versa.

 

Maddog is right but only the rear. The blasters have drum brakes up front so you need blaster specific ones. The rear can be swapped but watch out for the bolt pattern. The rear blaster bolt pattern is 4/110. . .i think the banshee's is 4/115
