highroller Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 What size of tires ( & # of paddles) should I run with an 8" arm? I ride only in the dunes and my bike is pretty modified. 4mm stroker crank, bored 20 over, 35 pwk's with pod filters, cool head with 20 cc domes (175 psi), t-5's (going to CPI's), ported, +4 timing. I was thinking 12 paddles on 22x11x8 tires. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 You need to figure out what paddle based on horsepower output more than swing arm length. Also consider what you will be doing with them, flat drags are completely different than hill shooting. I wouldn't be able to tell you what works in a flat drag situation, but my 410LR motor works bet with 22x12x8 10 paddle ultralites. I also run a +8 swing and am on the bottle. This is a typical hill shooter setup. If I were to run 12 paddles I would be TOO hooked up. Without the bottle i'd prolly run the 9 paddle. Hope this helps but if you can post some better numbers and purpose i'm sure someone can give better advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemical Castration Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 72" rollout 9 or 10 paddle haulers would work great. 12 paddle is way too much tire! especially with the wet sand around you. If you have a dune port on race gas you should be fine with 9's but if youre pushing more than 80HP then go for the 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
