RNBRAD Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I run 20x10x10 10 paddle haulers and I think they Rock! Anything less and I can't get out of the hole at all. Tried a brand new set of 20x10x10 12 paddle haulers a friend of mine got for xmas and they were awesome for draggin, but I felt like they hooked up a little too much during duning and trails. If all I did was drag I would go with more paddles, but for all around duning the 10 paddles work great for me. 367599[/snapback] Also I think it has a lot to do with where you ride and the type and density of the sand. Like Ron mentioned, for LS the 10 paddles are perfect and I've thought at times I would like more paddle cause I get too much spin and feel like I'm getting nowhere. Other times it iwll practically flip over in first and second (prolly moisture changes in the sand) You might see what other riders in your area are using for the best decision.

sanddragon2004 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Id say 22x11x8 8paddle extreme haulers for a dune/drag 350. Ive run that on several different banshees with great results. 10: rim is heavier then an 8" rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssanddemon Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Made the big trip to Glamis earlier this year with a bunch of buddies. We were swapping around tires just to see what worked best on each bike.We had sand skates, my 20x10 9 paddle extremes, geckos and 22x8 10 paddle haulers. the geckos were like a bad joke They would hook before I hit the band, then fold over as I came into it- pathetic, really crappy to ride. The skates were ok for the piped only shee, but I could overpower them and go nowhere. The 22x8 10 paddles were too much for me, but worked great on the ©raptor with it's big torque hit. I ended up liking my tires the best of all of them. Edited May 12, 2005 by ssanddemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) On a 4 stroke you can get away with running more paddles due to the low end torque. Banshees like to spin their wheels so on a stock bore/stroke you shouldn't use 10 paddles. Some 9's work okay on a fairly modded shee, depending on the aggressiveness of the paddle. You would think that more traction = more power to the ground but shee's tend to bog down if you put too much on their plate. I dunno bout your shee's, but mine doesn't like to lug. I rarely drag and when I do I don't really care who wins. For that reason I use sand stars since I feel they're one of the best duning tires out there. If I were to switch to a straight paddle I'd definately go with some 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers, or maybe some 9's since I'm running a +4 stroker now. For your bike, stick with the 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers. Edited May 12, 2005 by Wallrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Jo Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I would go with the 9 or 8 paddle skat tracs i ride in Glamis a lot and i find the more wheelspin the faster you go. Molded edge paddles are for 4 strokes just get the straight edge and youll be zinging up the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
