burleybanshee Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 dO YOU PLAN ON DRAGGING BIG HILLS AT DUMONT OR GLAMIS? THE MORE PADDLES YOU HAVE IN THE SAND, MORE DRAG ON THE MOTOR FOR TOP END. YOU DON'T WIN THE RACE OUT OF THE HOLE ON BIG HILLS. lOOKS OF YOUR MOTOR BY YOUR SIG. YOU ARE NOT RUNNING A LOT OF POWER. NINE WOULD BE FINE FOR REGULAR HAULERS. THE EXTREMES ARE A MORE RIDIG PADDLE AND DON'T ROLL OVER AS MUCH SO YOU SHOULD GO ONE PADDLE DOWN IF YOU GET THEM. THE TIRES HAVE A MUCH BETTER ROLLOUT THAN 20'S DO AND THE 8 INCH RIM REALLY HELPS HOOK UP. NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU BOLT THOSE ON. YOU SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO DROP THE CLUTCH IN 2ND FOR TAKE OFFS. IF YOU GO UP TO A 15 TOOTH IN FRONT, MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO START IN 1ST, UNLESS YOU WEIGH A BUCK TEN.

Wallrat Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Unless you're doing really short drags I'd stick with 8 paddle haulers. Anything more than that and you're going to get off the line quicker but get passed when you hit 3rd gear. For dumont or glamis, no shee with stock stroke and factory cylinders needs more than an 8 paddle hauler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grounded Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well I wanted the taller tire for less spin . Would be for Olds hill , but if I'm going to load it down too much, I will stick with the 8 paddles. Really a 21 x12 x 8 8 paddle vs a 20x10x10 8 paddle is it worth it?
