JDP421 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hi I'm tryin to figure out if these sand hauler paddles that are supposed to be a knock off of skat trak haulers would be able to push my banshee that's making anywhere from 70-80hp or are these paddles no good? I'm a new member so correct me on amything if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 They are a knock off but they are a fine tire. A few of my buddies run them and they work just fine for the bikes that are around that hp range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 i have some and they work great but one of them leaks through the side wall. if you spray it with soapy water its bubble city. they also seem to weathercrack easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanYE west Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I havn't had a problem with paddles coming off.. but.. they are VERY hard to get on the rims.. and the blades are very soft and wear quickly. Traction seems pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law just got his banshee ported by Kevin (HJR) and needs some haulers but is short on cash. Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law just got his banshee ported by Kevin (HJR) and needs some haulers but is short on cash. Let me know! Ebay, $149 for a set of two tires. 21x12x8, 8 paddle. Free shipping I believe, last time I looked at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 They are comperable to a 20" 8 blade hauler. Definately not what youd want with an extanded swingarm on any bike but if you arent extended they are good tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP421 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 @radarracing -ya I'm extended +6 and I just tried them at dumont and seemed to do ok at first but I spun them like crazy after awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figaro Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 They are comperable to a 20" 8 blade hauler. Definately not what youd want with an extanded swingarm on any bike but if you arent extended they are good tires. what difference does it make if the swing arm is extended or not ? i have a +4 swing arm(servel 4mill 421cc) extreme 10 blade and also edge 8 blade but have not tried them yet as i am still building my bike.

Infamous039 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Dont buy them the Paddles come off real easy. I had them in the past and had to have two sets replaced under there warranty. I ended selling the second set brand new to a buddy of mine. They are junk, just get Skat Trak and be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangheraent Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have a set, bought them used off a guy. Iv ran them a few times at the dunes and my paddles are still firmly on the tire. I thought the traction was good I ran them with a stock swingarm 4mill stock cyl bike. My bike was wheeling heavily on hills and I was getting great traction on takeoffs.

wacko2000 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I sent them a email through ebay about the tires, I asked a few questions about the paddles coming off, they said there original batch from there supplier gave them some problems, but haven't had any issues in quit some time now. Also, I was reading through there feedback and noticed some people were paying 120.00 shipped, I ask about that also and they said to put in a offer for 120.00 and they will accept. 120.00 shipped seems like a great deal if these paddles are holding up.
