Increasing hauler roll out

[MDS2106]

What is the most air pressure has anyone used to stretch the diameter on haulers.I gained 4" of roll out by using a 22psi stretch,I didn't want to add much more psi in fear of the tire bursting.I was told i could go 30psi, but to me thats awful lot of air..

 

 

Thanks

try it leave it out in the sun and let us know how it goes! id prob stay with the 20 leave it in the sun and youll have what you need,,,what rollout u start with?

30psi in the sun. Works perfectly. If it is good direct sunlight and the rubber gets hot you can hear then stretch.

On the 21" haulers mounted on 8" wide rims I started with 67" rollout ,after the 22psi stretch in the sun for two days I am at 71 roll out,I would like to get a little more if possible.I have a buddy that has some of the hard to find 7" wide rims.I was told thats good for another 2" of so I might give them a try.Man I thought the tires were going to bust when I added the 22 psi, 30psi would probably have me shittin in my pants .lol My buddy at the tire center said i could do 25# easy :shrug:

30psi wont do anything bad. I put 45 psi in an Extreme Hauler to set the bead. I had to air it up that much and throw in in the sun to set the bead. 30psi will stretch nice and wont blow up or anything.

So what do you guys run for psi on the dunes 5 or 6 psi.

i have for in mine right know but it might be kinda low,but then again i like it a little soft.

It really depends on the sand conditions. We have went as low as 3# and as high as 8 or 9# Contrary to what people believe, with the haulers you get better traction with more air pressure.

that is a VERY generalized statment. i find my self doing it alot and leaving my post open to be smashed

 

however adding pressure is NOT always going to give you better traction. you nailed in with the beginning of your post. its all about the conditions of the sand. temp, depth, moisture, ect.

Bansh-eman,I was letting air out, thinking that more surface area against the sand would give me more traction,Then I read a couple of posts on Planet Sands about adding air in the haulers causes the paddles to be stiffer and not fold over as easily.It really works, even at The Clash of the titans in Sicily Island where the sand is the fluffiest I have ever seen, it picked up the 300' time on my son's bike.

So is the high psi supposed to help for play duning, or just drag racing?

I think it would help for either.Try it and you will be suprised on the difference on take off and overall traction.

[Snopczynski]

Maybe I will try it next weekend.

Bansh-eman is correct in this case. :thumbsup:

I just bought some nearly new paddles.

I put 20 PSI in them, left them in the sun all day yesterday...they stretched a couple inches no problem.

Started at 71. At 74 now...

 

I usually set air pressure by the wheelie factor. If you're getting air...you're getting traction.

But, it's not an exact science...

 

Air pressure, gearing, clutch weights (lockout) as well as the sand type, condition..etc., they all play a part...
