macgillivary Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 hey i cant get my hands on any GBC paddlemasters, but if i can tahts what im getting so im thinking about haulers, or skate traks anyways i dont know anything about paddle tires is the more paddles the more bit they will have or less? like would an 8 paddle or 12 paddle be better for snow? thanks Quote
Wallrat Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Depends on your mods. Bigger engines can spin more paddles. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 ive tried paddles in the snow and didnt like them. how deep of snow are you riding in? Quote
crazywheelerman365 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Mudd Machines rip ass in the snow ! I've never tried paddles but I've always wondered what they'd be like ? Quote
macgillivary Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) well right now there is hardly any snow and its cold enough that you stay on top so my turf tamers are good for now, but im building a ski kit for the front for next year, some paddles and maybe put sled studs in them too anyways the powder can get up to 5 feet deep, but i wont be going threw that stuff, those are drifts, plow through the odd one riding weather will probably be anywheres from 4-24 inches of snow, and ill just be following my sled buddy so the trail will be cut, might get on the odd groomed trail if i can pull some strings with the local sled club but roughly ya say 4-24 inches of snow and ice riding oh ya mods, well K&N, fmfs or a 2into 1 whichever i feel like that day, ported stock reeds cages, 21cc domes, +4 timing, 2 into 1 carb w/ 40mm lectron, mild port, lightened flywheel, 0.08 over so a 370cc, think thats it for power, but a -2 swinger too, may have a different in what tire i pick paddle suggestion?

Ruko Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) We have found Spider's work well up to about a foot of snow, with some screw in studs for traction on ice. Haven't tried paddles though.... Spider's are good for just about anything so if you go off into rocks or something you don't have to worry about tearing paddles up. We don't put ski's on though so with ski''s they may be able to take on some deeper snow with out having to push the front tires through it. Although if you have ski's on the front you'll have to stay in the snow anyway, so you wont have to worry about rocks and stuff so much... Edited February 9, 2006 by Ruko Quote
