roosthrower Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 My trakker paddles aren't cuttin it anymore. They don't hook up good enough until the top of third gear. I want a paddle tire that will alow me to launch in second gear without bogging and a tire that will let me pull sixth in the straights. Can most piped shee's pull sixth in the sand without bogging? My gearing is 13/41 and my shee would barley pull sixth in the sand with the trakkers. Is the performance of my shee off. It has 165 psi compression at sea level and it is jetted with 300 mains. Can somebody help? btw: I only weigh 145 lbs. Quote
roosthrower Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Posted April 11, 2004 can someone just tell me if most piped banshees can pull sixth in the sand? Quote
00BANSHEE Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 only 145# with 13/41 gearing, you should be able to pull 6th with a good running piped shee. Stick with about an 8 paddle hauler and you should be OK. Quote
roosthrower Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) Well I guess my shee could have pulled sixth better with some more room. When I went to little sahara I was able to shoot all of the big dunes in fourth pretty easily. It sucked though because my paddles didn't permit wheelies in any gear. In the lower gears they would just spin and in the higher gears I didn't have enough power to get the front end up. The only time I was able to do a wheely was when I was coming off the top of a dune and I wasn't going fast enough to get the rear tires off the ground. Edited April 12, 2004 by roosthrower Quote
bansheefreak Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 i have a mildly modded shee with 13/41 gearing i can blip the trottle and front end comes up in 2thru4 5,6 not really sure how easy it would wheeling. as for 6th gear bog i don't have the problem but my buddies with toomeys has a bog in 6th he can't run over 5th gear... he has 14/41 gearing... we both have 8 paddle haulers i have 20's he has 22's Quote
roosthrower Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Posted April 13, 2004 I guess I'm gunna go with 20 inch turbo paddles by kings. The trakkers will be on ebay soon. Quote
roosthrower Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Posted April 20, 2004 I figured out why my shee wasn't running up to par at little sahara. Here goes. When I put in a new top end during december I went with vitos power pistons. The compression tester I was useing said that it was at 210 psi at sea level. I was like what the f*ck. Anyway, I doubled up on the base gaskets and the compression dropped to 160. I was like cool. now i could run 93 octane. It turns out my compression tester is 50 psi off of what it should read. I borrowed my friends tester one day and it read like 110 psi. So now I put in a regular base gasket and now it runs so much better than it ever did before. While I was at little sahara though which is about 3000 ft above sea level I was running both base gaskets. My real compression there most have been like 80 psi or even lower. I can't wait to get my shee back there now with a shee with some compression. Quote
Josh A. Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 21-12-8 8 paddles, jetting is prolly your prollem at 145 you should be able to pull 10th,if ya had it lol Quote
