If I had the money, I would have bought this in a SECOND for my banshee....

banshee frame

I'm still thinking of saving up for one, would be badass

 

4 stroke engine would be alot better all round you cant say that ant true either, i mean a 2 stroke crotch rocket engine going through trails imagine that...would be insanely dumb

 

I do it all the time with my all top end banshee to me the the faster the better, until the day I slam into a tree[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Put a YZ 480 motor in that thing. A 2 stroke with BALLZ like that will push that chasis!

 

if you wanted to go big, you should do a sled mobile engine or a Yamaha R1 engine, i have seen both at the dunes, snow mobile engine was faster!!!!!

 

man... forget about it... obviously this was the WRONG FORUM to post this to get feedback and ideas on the project... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I'll just post a link to pics and specs in 6-10 months when it is done... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the susp on the rap is way better than that on the banshee, so i think its a cool idea!!!! I'd like to see ya do it , if you have the means. not necessarily sand.....might make a pretty good track bike withe rap susension and even lighter weight....let me know how it goes...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

ur disgusted? what do you think we feel? ur putting a banshee engine in a raptor frame WTF IS THE POINT OF THAT!

 

...lighter weight, lower c.g., two-stroke engine, something unique and my own, a fun project to work...

I guess I don't have a point.

 

speaking of insanely dumb... if you would have read my first post, you would see that I want to build a "dune specific" machine, not for trails. Also, this isn't a 4-stroke vs 2-stroke battle - so quit trying to hijack my thread...

Honestly, I just think that it would be cool to have a built regular Raptor (like a CR686-powered beast) and a banshee-engine Raptor. That way if I feel like riding a 2-stroke I could hop on my "Rapshee" and the ergos would be the same as my 4-stroker. Easier for setting up suspension-wise, too. That and I have a lot of extra Raptor parts.
