Ok blaster experts, can you bolt in a Tri Z rear axle carrier onto the blaster swingarm and there fore get a wider rear end, disk brake setup and reuse your rims (they have the same bolt pattern PCD)

has anyone tried the entire Tri Z rear end in the blaster chasis.

 

Go to www.blastercentral.com and go to the bbs, then post a question to flyin'ryan I think he know's a little about this.

 

I've seen it done. Someone bolted on the entire rear end. The had to fabricate a new upper shock mount and a mount for the shock linkage (I think), but other than that it appeared like a fairly easy mod. A Warrior shock was used. The hub bolt pattern is the same, so you existing wheels can be used.

 

what is the whole point of this?

i've never seen a Tri-z...longer swing arm?

 

Im guessing..you get the rear hydraulic disc brake

 

why bother, ok, thoughts are:

1) 4" wider rear axle, no need for spacers or expensive aftermarket, hub pattern matches a blasters wheels.

2) hydraulic dis brake all set up to go.

3)longer swingarm by at least 2" but still seeking confirmation.

4) Linkage rear shock with i think on the tri-z adjaustable damping

5) Tri-z parts should be dirt cheap compared to Warrior or Banshee or aftermarket

6) It would make for an interesting diy project

If anyone has a few tri z rearend photo's that would be great, save me a 100 mile trip to check out one of my buddies rides.......

Now i am going to have to look into this!

I really need better brakes.

Hmm...now to find a Tri-Z rear end. Should be fun.

 

Exactly. The Tri-Z shock is adjustable and has a reservoir. It has suspension linkage, so you should get a better rear suspension. Good luck. I forgot to take pics when I saw one, sorry about that.
