Building this 250R Became a Nightmare... The Story of my TRX250R Drag Racing Build

Awesome machine😊

We all make mistakes, it’s all about how we can be men and admit them and not be too embarrassed or ashamed or full of pride. I swear we would get along so well and could really build some stuff! Keep up the good content. Life long follower you have made me my friend!

ghfghfgfhjfhj

man we have run them with a dime size spot on the ' its a 2 stoke it will live ' run a big ring gap and send it

What a sicc build love 250Rs

You were down in my part of the country,great content as always God bless

Awesome build. Can't get over that sound.

What carb you running and jetting specs?

ya gotta get it on the dyno..i plan to do mine when its together. Only difference is my vortex cdi and vforce 2s and a 38mm pwk non air stryker. Does mod quad sell the rear brake resie?

can you use arp bolts for the exhaust flange?

You're dealing with problems any top racer deals with. If your choking on problems like this at the dune u can relate to the stress too racers have to deal with. You're just over doing it brother, just relax and try not to put so much on your shoulders, try to think of it like it's just a weekend of fun on the trails

On the other hand quad guys are afraid of heights that's why they ride quads instead of bikes. But take it with a grain of salt just have fun it doesn't matter how you do it as long as you're having fun

🤙💯🍻

Wish you would have turned the banshee into a drag bike instead but love all the quads

Damn that sounds so sick, i bet you have a hella tricked out power band on that thing.

all i can think is how i could do all that work JUST to get worked over by a cobbled together old raptor or blaster/banshee frame with a 600cc or 1000cc sportbike engine and a ebay swingarm lol...At least you had a class of other 250r guys you were racing

How is the new ignition compared to HPI Ignition?

Dig the new design. Suzukis were my favorite. Yellow and blue my fav color scheme. Thx for great vid.

I ant touching my lynx when it shows up!! lol I wish they sold unplated ones to send to arlan.

Can you do a video on how you managed to get so little rolling resistance in the wheels?

I also have a buddy that works at PSN

I think if you do some shock adjustments that will help you. For drag racing you need to take some softness out.

the best way always, is to port the cylinder and then send it to plating, porting a plated cylinder isnt a good idea. you always round off the edges of the ports and by doing so you remove the plating all up to the cylinder wall, if you port and then send to plating you plate the rounded edges and all is good. never port an already plated cylinder, get a sleved cylinder in this case, that is the way to go if you dont want the mess! sorry to see this though, bummer.

Anyone who lives for the races and events has definitely experienced these kinda shenanigans in their life. Sometimes we get in such a hurry that we become our own obstacle.

not a 250R if you have a 300 plus cc its a 300+r

Brother just move on down 😅

Resourceful... Resourceful is where this is at. Finding solutions, no matter the situation. Good on ya, Mr. Sabo!! Your "we got this" attitude also brought goodresults.
Now, that mosheen is like a big block Chevy in a shopping cart... Enjoy it and be safe out there! 😁

😂Ahhhhahahahah .Feeding Frensh engine nails 😂❤🎉

et an adly 300 hurrican sport and make it a race quad its based of a honda trx300ex i think it would be a good challenge

Respect owning your mistakes - we're all human but few have the integrity to keep it real! 🇦🇺💪

Michael, did you say the cases were cerakote? That turned out great.. Nice work

Do you think the piston is Billet aluminum? Made from a solid chunk? or cut from a forging?

chamfer the edge with a jewelers file no?

My biggest pet peeve is modifying mistakes to make something to work I don’t tolerate myself making mistakes and then trying stupid shit to mend the wounds then justifying it

I don’t allow imperfections in my work or projects

You are trying to save weight what about your self 😂 love your videos keep Up the great work

I'm 52 as well.Growing up I was rough on my toys so it was either fix em myself or do without.I didn't realize how much it would help me throughout life.

What brand of piston did you go with ??

Your great at what you build and having the most fun doing it then you get to RIDE!!

Where you get your crankshaft truned

Mass props for showing all the mistakes. There was a lot don’t get me wrong but takes balls to show all the mistakes. Quick note, when you do a stroker crank alot of the times it requires a specific piston due to the longer rod

Are you still with the HPI Michael internal rotor ignition?

You set a new standard for "nut and bolt" restorations. Absolutely the finest you can get. No stone unturned, no shortcuts taken, best of the best parts used make these dream bikes of the internet.hey, that should be a series Sabo, 'DREAM BIKES OF THE INTERNET!' that they are, the tri z my favorite.

Damm near cried once mike finnaly got gunned down on the 380 lol hes so damn wholesome and ocd and he was just so disappointed😭

I've been wanting to purchase a trx400 .road one a while back and I loved it. But I would like to know if I could swap out the trx400 for a cr 450 or any after market 500. I need more power. Any suggestions?

I can say even with the piston chopped it will probably run ok. I had a chunk the whole bottom of a piston on a 1992 blaster broke off during riding and I just kept riding it like that and after 1 year quad still ran ok. I eventually took motor apart and found the peace of piston down in the crank just bouncing around for a year.

Wow those gears are super short. It's like as soon as you touch the throttle it's in powerband in every gear.

Yo am I crazy or did all the big companies stop making the 450R quads? I can only see raptors and yfz 450s

Very impressed that you admitted and showed your mistakes as well as the shortcuts you were willing to take to get the bike ready. Obviously we know you wouldn’t normally do things like shave the nikasil, weld the piston, etc. But I think it’s cool that you owned it and didn’t hide it. That’s why you’re one of the best!
