[fun_on_the_sand]

Hey guys

 

I got my mods done and the shee dailed 70hp on the dyno.

 

I want to get Skat Trak Extremes.

 

I thought of 20X10X10 and 10 paddles

 

What size and how many paddles would you recomend?

 

Do you think I can get biger in size? or get more paddles?

 

Thank you guys

What dune area do you ride? Where did you run on a dyno? What length swingarm do you have? What is your sort of riding style (cruise, agressive, etc.)? Do you do any frequent drag racing?

- I ride on Glamis Ca

 

- I got the dyno ran by D&M in Phoenix Az

 

- Singarm is +4"

 

- I do 50% sand dunnung and 50% Drag Racing on Oldsmobile Hill

for 50/50 9 or 10 superlites,or brats,but i would get them in a 8 in rim.

An 8" rim with a set of 8 paddle Extremes might be ok as well.

I would probably use a 21x12x8 9 paddle.

I run 22-11-8 69 rollout 9-paddle haulers w/6inch swinger, bike dynoed at 85 horse and I need more swinger. I am skyward every launch and as I am letting out of it to not land on my lid, slower bikes leave me in the dust. You are only running a +4, I agree w/firehead, 8 paddle b2b hauler(or sls if your guys sand is that clean). W/ a less rollout tire(20x10x10 for example) you will usually have to run more paddles to get the same bite.

Why would you go for 8" rim instead of 10"? what is the difference in performance?

Are the ones on your signature 21X12X8? how many Hp are you pulling? and how long is your swing arm?

I am sorry, what do you mean by "b2b" and "sls"?

 

By rollout you mean leaver arm, diameter?

 

Thank you

An 8" rim gives you a better ride in the rough sand and a little more adjustability via air pressure.

b2b = bead to bead buffed

 

Rollout = rolling circumference of the tire.

 

sls = super light

[fun_on_the_sand]

So what do you think of this combinations on Extremes:

 

- 21X12X8 9 paddles

 

- 20X11X9 9 or 10 padddles

 

- 20X10X10 10 paddles

 

Thank you guys

I'm running about the same power. 380 4mil/long rod, t5's 30mm carbs, moderate dune play, billet manifold, 165 psi. I have a +4 swinger, +2+1 a-arms. 225 pound rider. I had 20X10X10 9 paddle extremes. 15tooth 41 rear. Could drop it in 2nd dragging and fly out of the hole. But to much paddle once you get up to speed. Borrowed a friends 21X12X8 regular 8 paddles. Made a huge difference. Not as much out of the whole, but a lot more top speed, plus softer ride. Only down side to the 8 inch rim, tire likes to roll up on the side instead of sliding. You have to work a lot harder to slide the bike playing on the dunes. For dragging the 8 is great, plus more side wall lets it flex more to grab out of the whole, like a dragster and grow in size as the sped get higher, helping top in diameter/making your gears taller. Not a huge change, but more than the 10 rim does.

 

Also the type of sand you are riding in, coarse or fine and the amount of moisture in the sand makes a difference as well.
