ryskie22 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 my mods are 421 cub on gas with a 6 inch swinger and 10 paddle superlight extremes. the problem is that i am spinning the wheels in the tires and it will dart left or right very agressive to the point i half to let off,(it doesnt do it everytime it is launched), i run the tires around 3 to 6 psi depending on how heavy the sand is, i know that it is a very agressive setup for launching. just wondering with this setup if i need to run the tires that low? i didnt air them up yet to see if they still spun. i went from 60 horse to 95 and road it this last weekend for the first time and discoverd this problem,sure love the power though,cub motors for the dunes is very fun.

dragbanshee98 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 run 6-7 psi... if you are not gettin enogh traction as u think you should go up a couple paddles on the tire... not a fan of the beadlock thing for some reason idk y... Quote
shanYE west Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 I was running 14 pdl extremes @ 2lbs with no problems. I'd break the tire down and clean the beads and rim really good. By upping the tire pressure you'll loose traction wich isn't what you want either. Quote
1996dragshee Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 I agree with Shayne.Break the bead down and clean or sand it down smooth.It's probably pitted and your not getting a good seal.My rims did the same thing with my 12 paddle xtremes.I just took a pipe wrench and continuously beat the lip of the rim down out of anger just because of that same exact problem at the track.It worked for the whole day after Quote
AWR Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 seen it happen to people who have used oil or the wrong lube to seat tires-it's fun too watch though..try seating them with brake clean. Quote
ryskie22 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 i will break them down this weekend and see what i find and clean the beads and rims and seat them with brake clean,as awr stated. thanks for the info. has anyone tried bead sealer? the black goo in the metal can? Quote
shanYE west Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Never needed anything.. I have used a lil soapy water every now and then.. but thats about it. Quote
dragbanshee98 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 i use that bead sealer goo stuff on every tire that i have... from the cars to the wheelers, and i have never had a prob with spinning rims inside the tires so i assume that its doin its job :cool: Quote
ryskie22 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Posted April 25, 2009 thanks guys broke them down today and sanded the wheels and bead sealed them, dont think they are going to spin now! Quote
