The guy at the dealer here warned me away from the Wiseco cranks when I did my Banshee. He said they are Chinese made and they have had trouble with them. He talked me into a HotRods crank. I ran it 4 dune seasons and did some drags at the dunes with it and it was still alive when I traded it off.

Were any of yours welded? Or was that even the problem?

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Damn guy, hate to hear that, sounds like a rough day, man.

Hey dude what part of the crank broke?

 

[duneracerweston]

It broke just to the outside of the flywheel main bearing so the flywheel ran away so i bet it got valves,

Ive also recently heard they were Chinese cranks, I have a guy that will build me a OEM one to better then New specs, I hope he can weld it and lighten it while he is at it that would be cool

Just to let you know, hotrods cranks are made by wiseco. OEM is the best way to go when it comes to reliability

That is not what I was told. Here is a link to their site:Hot Rods Cranks

Will you take some pictures of the failure and your engine as you tear it down? That would be fun to see. Sorry for your loss.

they are not made by wiseco but both are made in some asian place but assembled in america NOT MADE in america

I will take pics of the carnage after I have it apart, my estimated cost is about 300 if it didn't get the piston or cylinder, or stator.

dammit man! warrior sucks, and that 450 case half i bet hurt the wallet too! im kinda glad i put a new stock crank in mine! sorry about that SHITTY day!

I've heard bad things about HotRods and Wiesco.

 

[duneracerweston]

I have too thats why im having one built with OEM components so I wont have issues

 

[rappy'97]

Have you looked into Falicon or Barker to see if they would make a Warrior crank? They make excellent cranks.

Sweet. You should take some pictures of your engine and post them up.

Falicon will make you a custom rod, I don't know about the crank.

As soon as I tear into it I will post pics
