Gt Thunder complete suspension

[440ex2001]

Has anyone bought this? What width are the a-arms? I was thinking of getting all my shocks done with the rear link thrown in but id the a-arms are decent I might just get the whole shabang. I'll be doing alot of jumping fast trail riding and local MX

if your talking about the xc kit, the a-arms are atv fourplay and the quad is 46 inches wide @ the front suspensions widest spot thru the travel. the whole set up is top notch

do you have to run 4 to 1 offset front wheels

I think I'm gonna stay away from the a-arms. I like what I hear abou the shocks so far. I'm looking for a mild MX build. I want to start racing at local tracks but dont want a dedicated racer. I'm thinking of running the GT thunder shocks and rear ling with +2 +1 a-arms maybe houser or laeger's on 20"/18" combo tires. I love the power of this 450r it just pushes a little to much for my taste.

Make sure to NOT get +2+1 arms, just stick with +2+0 arms. That extra inch forward only worsens the front end push commonly found on these quads. Stick with 4:1 front wheels as well.

to be 46 inches wide you do, if you run the stock wheels you will be closer to 48 inches

[440ex2001]

What is 4:1 wheels is that like backspacing?

[bradley300]

yeah, 4:1 means the inside of the wheel is 4 inches deep, and the outside is 1 inch deep

the stock Honda seem to be like inbetween 4:1 and 3:2

[bradley300]

they are, they are 3.5:1.5 offset
