99twin350 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 if your late im really late i had 9 paddle and really liked them on stock swinger, now i run 10 paddle extreme haulers with 6 over and they hook up nice in all types of sand. Quote
Toybreaker Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 21x10x8 9 paddle regular haulers. 8 was too much spin 10 was too much bite we'll see tonight if 9 is just right. The drag bike has 22x12x10 10 paddle taller haulers and a plus 4 swingarm enjoy the sand Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 What are these numbers you guys are talking about 8,9,10? The number of cups? Quote
dnhyoung Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 We are referring to the number of paddles Quote
8675309 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 A 10 inch diameter wheel looks good and works great for laying it sideways but for performance a 8 inch diameter wheel will do a lot better. Quote
Banshee 79 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Posted October 17, 2005 A 10 inch diameter wheel looks good and works great for laying it sideways but for performance a 8 inch diameter wheel will do a lot better. 426483[/snapback] Totally agree 10 inch for looks, 8 inch for performance in the dunes at least.

trueblue Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 What do you guys tires and gearing do you think that i should run? My banshee is ported, 18cc domes, v force, t-5s, 35mm carbs,+5 timing, and a +6 swingarm. Right now i am running sand skate IIs but want to get a set of skat trak's but dont know where to start with size abd number of cups. They will be mainly used for drag racing. Thanks. Quote
sheecandy Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 id go with 22x11x8 8 paddle bxb haulers i have them on my 00 with 14 42 gearing works grate Quote
reded Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 id go with 22x11x8 8 paddle bxb haulers i have them on my 00 with 14 42 gearing works grate You're bike should be capable of pulling way more than 8 paddles...more like 10-12! Quote
sheecandy Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 bxb tires are buffed from bead to bead good for drag racing Quote
mike23 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 definitely 22 x 11 x 8 8 paddle. your mods are about the same as mine. thats what I run with 17-41 gearing. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) with your mods ^^ I'd run an 8 paddle only... 407188[/snapback] x2 8 paddle extremes at MOST thats probably a bit too much for best results. or you can overpaddle like 80% of he people on this forum.

Wallrat Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Yeah it seems like most banshee owners haven't grasped that the banshee does better when you let its tires spin up. They figure that a 450 can pull 10 paddles, so they totally could since they're faster. When in truth you end up robbing the engine of power. 4 strokes have that ability to lug, the banshee needs fewer paddles to spin up. On a stock stroke, you never need more than 9 paddles, 8's on extremes. Match up 2 equal riders/banshees and the 10 paddle might take it off the line but the guy running 8 paddles will blow by him halfway up the hill. Edited October 26, 2005 by Wallrat Quote
