Hollister_Hitman Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) yeah take 2" out of your swingarm, it helps a lot with handling and tons more traction. I think it is a must for the dirt Edit: nevermind I just saw your sig that you have a lonestar swingarm is it stock length?

billybobby Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 First off your paddles lick sak and if you have stockers for dirt they are made to spin and thats it. Kenda Knarly's are a great tire and will help a ton. You have a advantage over almost everyone out there at 120 if you are drag racing most of the people your going to race are pushin 2 hunde or more. Lighter is faster that being said ten pounds of muscle won't hurt. My advice for the paddles is either sell them or use them in the dirt they will work great there for a little while. Do a search on here and get whatever paddle fits your riding style best. Good luck man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Devil's are a cheap tire, and you get what you pay for. 99% of the people here when you ask them what is the best Sand tire, they will tell you Skat-Trak. BansheeDan used my 10pdl skat-trak's and loved them. He's also around 120lbs. Might want to PM him about his set-up. For dirt I use Holeshot XCR's and I get good hook-up. I've also heard good things about cut knarly's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
