any blaster hybrids out there?

[joeyds450x]

heres a yz250 blaster me and my buddy are building for mx.. were hoping to run it with the 450s.. were putting a yfz front end on it.. (lol not as easy as we thought itd be..) should be done this weekend or almost done.. more pics up soon

its gna have aftermarket plastics on it when its finished

let me know wut you think.. thanks for looking

[headache]

looks bad ***. should hang with 450's if you can keep the front end down, and wheel spin under control!

[joeyds450x]

when the motor was in the dirtbike it was faster than my built ds450.. we were thinking 13/42 or maybe 14/42? not sure yet

[beastlywarrior]

SWEET build thats gonna be fast
one thing, the chassis seems to be a bit small to handle all of the power though i woulda used a warrior chassis just my 2 cents i always liked the motors in the blaster but hated the chassis

[joeyds450x]

ya the blaster is so light too and small.. im 6'1 im hoping i fit on it lol.. so far the hardest part is getting the yfz aarms on.. the geometry is so different we had to make new mounts.. the upper aarms should be done this weekend.. on the next one we build im goin to get the blaster 4.5 widening kit and run yfz shocks with +2 aarms

I have a Blaster i am tinkering with and am using the same YZ250 engine you are using. (looks like an 88-95 engine) Could you post some pics of the mounts and what you did at the swing arm? I have only sat the engine in the frame and put the rear pivot through. (which seems to put the sprocket right where it needs to be. What kinda idea's ya got for the pipe?Thanks

[joeyds450x]

my buddy got all the pics and info from blasterforum.com, here are some pis that helped us

[joeyds450x]

heres where you gotta cut the swingarm to make it work

[NED441SUZ]

EXACTLY what i needed. I will post pics of ours here when we get the engine mounted if ya don't mind. Thanks!

Never done a 250 but did do a 101BB for my Daughter . Turned out pretty sweet.

no i dnt mind post it up! lol

and that is an aftermarket fmf pipe in that pic.. were trying to use the stock pipe and its just not working out.. but were goin to make it work for now untill we get an aftermarket one.. just a little heads up

[RMI_Speed]

why yfz a arms? there are plenty of aftermarket a arms out there for the blasters. just curious.

[joeyds450x]

they are expensive, he had the yfz aarms and everything laying around so we used them instead..

[mildtowildracin]

this is my build, its a yz250f motor. And i pull on 450's. But then again, it isnt stock ;)

Well Im glad they were of help to you somehow... Suspension wise though, we were alot different set up .
Did Fox say how the rear is gonna work ?

[jefteland]

i worked with fox in 1998-2004 with the race support for snowmobiles. i see that you had pictures with the same trailer that i worked in. that same trailer was owned by black magic racing. i don't know how well it will work. i just had a bunch for exrta parts sitting around and was able to slap one together. hope i can get it to work. alot lighter.

Well I never knew that trailer had so much history ! lol
Rick Strickland was a big help to us at the season opener. We have had some great shock gurus the last few years, feel pretty happy about that . :)I hope it works well for you ;)

I built this for a friend it was quick and painless I put in an 85 yz 490 built a 9 over swing arm with a lt500 rear shock.It's fast but she sure vibrates

[jefteland]
