shanYE west Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 did I miss what size swinger was being used? Sandtoyz is where I bought ours. I was running low 4.1's with no bar and I was 220's on a stock chassis. I was using 13 extremes, +12 swinger. 12.25 rear shaw w/link and 12.5 front shaws. 18" front tires. Like I said.. chassis setup plays a huge part. Quote

dajogejr Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Too bad new tires are pricey...I'd just sell you my tires but I don't know what kind I would want to get...lol. 72 to 74 rollout 14 extremes on an 8 inch rim is a great starting point for a 4-10 mil cub. There are too many variables on any given day at any given track to get the perfect tire. You either get a tire that works well at most places, or you have a few sets of tires that work the best at any one given location....and of course with temperature, moisture and gearing...it changes...

Dave hit the nail on the head... The staggerds are not cheap either Edited January 7, 2011 by LilJockey481 Quote
tundish2800 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 Dave i could use some 14s if you decide to sell. Sorry for the thread jack Quote
rjatv Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 I am gonna go with 18 paddle stags, 24in tire 10 inch wheel, and i also have a 421 cub on alky. Quote
Schimminator Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 We run 78 rollout 16 stag extremes on our 4mm cub w 17- 43 gearing. the more tire we gave it the faster it got... Quote

dajogejr Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 That or they have a 45 lb jockey...lol. Quote
Schimminator Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Yep, leaving in first. 135# rider Quote
rjatv Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Yep, leaving in first. 135# rider Now why go that route instead of say 15-45 and launching in 2nd? or is it the same thing except you end up in 4th gear at the end instead of 5th? Quote
Schimminator Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 We can run 16-43 gearing leaving in second, its a little hit or miss with bogging... MPH drops way off with a 15 tooth. Its a bracket bike, leaves consistent every time with the 17. Quote

Schimminator Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 We race at the off road ranch in norfolk NE mostly, went to Atoka OK this fall for their big race. Ran identical times, bolth are very nice tracks. Quote

If I can get the paddle tires I want for a reasonable price this year, you guys have me thinking of a whole new setup...I like where you guys are going with this... Quote
