Tbone07,
That is really good to hear about the ESR TRX5 pipe. The rebuild has kind of gone sideways on me. What was going to be a replace bearings and get it tuned up and running great has turned into a full on build lmao. It all started with the rear axle and carrier. I was going to do the carrier bearings and realized the axle was bent on both sides. So, a new LSR axle was ordered along with billet carrier, brake stay, and hubs.
Given the new axle is a good bit wider than stock, that meant I HAD to order new front suspension as well lol.
Went with LSR DC-4 long travel with Elka 5's all the way around. This led to a new steering stem and Precision clamps, Hiper wheels, all new plastics, carbon fiber parts, and the list is getting long at this point. The more I look at the motor....... the more I can't leave it alone despite a fresh topend rebuild. So I'm trying to get a hold of ESR and see what he can come up with for an engine package. That guy can be a tough fella to get a hold of it seems!
The frame thankfully is in perfect condition, so I'm adding a Pumashine full gusset kit to it now and getting everything tidied up to send off for powder coating.
Once I get the frame back from powder coating I'll start a new thread documenting the build and progress. My banshee frame took about a month so things won't happen fast but I can collect the parts in the mean time and be ready to build when the frame gets done.
Stay tuned and I'll get things rolling as soon as I can. Thank you everyone for your help and input........ it is greatly appreciated!
Tony
