    swingarm length affect turning?

    An altered wheelbase will affect the sensitivity of moving around on the quad. The shorter you go, the more pronounced the effect will become. Going from a +4 to +2 is not as significant as +2 to stock length, etc. It's close, but not equal. The rule of thumb is to go as short as possible...

    First Blaster

    I'm a fan of Holeshot tires. On the other hand, tons of people like both and both have won championships in different types of riding. My recommendation is to buy whichever is cheaper for the size you're after. Fwiw, Holeshot MXR6 provide enough forward traction for most bikes up to 65hp...

    Before it gets fired, go ahead and send that head to be rechambered.

    I would recommend that.

    software vs buying portmap

    With air, you will be moving too much to do any accurate work while also controlling the hand valve. The best way IMO is to find a foot controller and run the valve at the handpiece at 100%. Speed would be controlled by the valve at your feet. Once you use foot control, you'll never look...

    Air or electric? Whichever way you go, foot control is a must.

    software vs buying portmap

    Grizzly doesn't sell a right angle piece to my knowledge, but their motor and shaft will mate directly to the CCS piece. That'll save a large chunk of change by not having to buy the CCS motor and straight piece.

    Foredom makes a good unit, but the bulk of the components are made by the same company that makes the Grizzly and CCS stuff. As such, the parts are interchangeable. The foredom right angle piece is a bit larger than the CCS units. I'm not really a fan of it.

    software vs buying portmap

    Bell is a good book to learn by, but I feel that Jennings had a bit more practical info. Bell's book can be found on Amazon for a pretty decent price. There a few more books with some very arcane information, but good luck finding them in digital or analog formats. I tried for nearly 3 years...

    software vs buying portmap

    MacDizzy was the sh*t back in the day. These days, porting is much more advanced. His information may not be correct, but it will inform you of the considerations that need to be taken into account.

    software vs buying portmap

    Porting is one of those things where buying the tooling to DIY will not save you money. The only time I'd recommend anyone get into porting is for the sake of learning to port. By the time you have everything needed to successfully port a cylinder without having to improvise, you can be 2/3 of...

    PM me for my number if you have any questions. I'm also on facebook on the Blaster and Banshee pages (which is probably the best way to get ahold of me). PM me for that info as well. That goes for anyone that comes here searching for answers. I may not know everything you ask, but I can help...

    software vs buying portmap

    The software that I've had experience with is really in-depth and takes a bit of time and inclincation to make it through. Simple mathematics and taking your time and making sense of things will often yield good results. There is a wealth of information to be had online, but the issue is...

    Standard Swingarm VS. Roundhouse

    If you aren't going to be racing, you have more options. There are only 2-3 brands that I'd use if I was racing a Blaster. I like a roundhouse for both the reasons listed and the fact that you will have so many options with brake calipers and rotors. Plus, it cleans the back of the quad up...

    Moving on, need your 2 cents

    Suspension is the place that you don't want to skimp. I'm not a fan of spacers, but they do well enough for some. An adjustable Blaster or Banshee axle would be the ticket. As for up front, you have a few options: 1. Buy used and save money but potentially lose out on performance. Shocks...

    MX56 quad day

    I've been talking with the owner of MX56 in south Alabama about letting quads on the track and he's decided to allot a day to see how much of a turn out we can gather. If we get a good group up, it will show that we do have the support to justify keeping the bikes off the track for a day...
