sheerider11 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 I'm gonna have to test this out now. Anyone know from personal experience? Quote
do-work-son Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I have never had a timed 300ft or anthing but have Had em both ways an never noticed a difference other than when your pushing it a cross concrete the in even wobble back an forth is annoying and it seems every one notices and points it out Quote
wacko2000 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Never once have I lined up my paddles or even paid attention to it! Bolt em up and run em!! Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I never do and have argued this with buds for years. Lol. You've worked really hard at being wrong for years. I have never had a timed 300ft or anthing but have Had em both ways an never noticed a difference other than when your pushing it a cross concrete the in even wobble back an forth is annoying and it seems every one notices and points it out They point it our cause your doing it wrong and everyone notices. Never once have I lined up my paddles or even paid attention to it! Bolt em up and run em!! Hope you don't feel the same way about gapping spark plugs. Honestly, if you only run in dry sugar type sand, you might not notice at all. Also I'll say that if your running the standard V-style 8 paddle run of the mill tire....It won't matter much. But if your running straight blade Scat-Trac tires, the vibration you feel when rolling across a hard flat surface is a strong example of the side to side force your bearings are feeling. You don't HAVE to line them up. But don't get defensive when people point it out. At the worst it would only require that you rotate one hub on the splines to get them in sync. You do it once and your set for as long as you own those tires....... Quote
Finch Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 i always line them up. besides the wobble factor youd think youd want them digging in at the same time to give you more forward momentum IMO Quote

Maybe it would make a diffence in if you were just cursing to wear your paddle where hooking up close to 100% but I never do that I'm either in it hard or riding short blips of the throttle where my paddle are spinning kicking up sand An another you say I had did it wrong but then say your don't have to ? Witch is it ? Quote
Banshee Chad Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I line em up. But forgot to line a paddle with valve stem this last time I mounted them... So they are off. No difference in the sand. Hard surface a little annoying, but it reminds me to go slow. Quote
