swingarms ??longer for MX ?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I was checking out how short the swingarms appear to be on these minis & so I was wondering if running a longer swingarm a good idea for racing MX ? .......& does anyone make a longer swingarm for MX ?
or do most run a stock swingarm ?
any help or opinions are welcome

We MX race an 07' Apex 90. The swingarm seem to be just fine. I haven't seen anyone use anything any longer. I think that would just add unnessicary wieght to the quad, and that is the last thing you want to do to one of these mini's. I have seen some replace the a-arms, but that s more for better geometry, these Apex's come plenty wide enough stock.

ok .. wonder why some "mini quad" companies offer longer swingarms? .. what type riding are they used for ?

The frame is longer on Apex than other stock minis. DRR uses a Plus 2 swing arm to match the length of the Apex.
You could use the swing arm from a DRR to add length but its not needed. If this is what you want to do wait untill the new DRR swinger become more availible.
