Boston Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hey everyone I'm in the process of a 485 cheetah and I was wondering if you guyies could help me with sprokets and paddles. Would a 12pdl be to much for hillshooting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 we will need more info. rider weight, swingarm length and riding area will help. I weigh 140 plus 8 and sand mountain ut. The frame is lightened and has a lot of lightweight stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I would think a +8 would be a little short for hill shooting. 16/43 gearing with those 12 pdl haulers would probably be a decent start. Maybe others will chime in that actually hill shoot. I just run flat ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 We used a +8 arm with both 12 extremes and 14 haulers. With a 7mm cub, it carried the wheels a couple inches thru the flats/whoops. The settled down nicely of the hill. We ran at Glamis, Dumont and Armagossa. Just a little info for you.

camatv Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 if its a real PV motor the 14's wont hurt it a bit the pv's will rip those paddles right out of the hole OR a set of 12 extreme's, haulers or 13 pd haulers extreme's. i am running 14 over arm and 12 paddle hauler it will lift at times but its controlable.

BigRed350x Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Stock frame or aftermarket frame? I'd say anywhere from an 11 paddle to a 13 paddle. 22" with an 8" rim. Stretch your tires when you first get them. You will need to just get out and play with gearing. 15 is a good starting point for the front and 43 or 44 in the rear. I ran a 10-paddle extreme, with 15x42 gearing with a +6 arm on my 4mil on methanol last time I was at sand mountain, and 15x45 with 14 paddle extremes on a 10" arm with 2.76 primary's on my twister at utah. Its a long run, just make sure you don't run so much paddle that it holds you back up on the hill. Less paddle and you will come out of the shoots a little slower, but you'll do better up on the face and in the bottle-neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
