theshee Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Im with bansheedan. I am a little heavier then him, (139), but haulers are the way to go. I didnt really like my sand starts that much. They dont hookup near as well as a hauler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 i checked everywhere for haulers but they all say on back order or need to order and wont be in stock for 3 wks, man people must like these. i was told haulers werent the best for playing around up there, i drag for fun but thats it, but id like to get some haulers but would a 10" rim be fine? im getting the knarlys tomoroww and ill let you know if they hook or not, i hope so, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Call Jon Sefarian @ Sand Toyz Unlimited. He was the only one around that had them...EVERYONE is waiting on them. Jim @ Jim's Sand Toys is probably gonna get them next. http://www.sandtoyzunlimited.com/ http://www.jimssandtoys.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 thanks for the links man. what size would you recommend? would a 10" wheel be ok? i dont drag but play around. the bike is getting ported soon so ill have that too, this maybe a dumb question but is a -1 swinger 1 inch shorter than stock?i may have to make one, thanks again guys for all the help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not into drag racing, 10 inch rims are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 alright thanks dajogejr, do you think i should run an 8 or 10 paddle tire and 20 tall sound right? i had better order them now so ill have them next season :biggrin: thanks man, i love the dunes but i just want to hook it up. i cant ride a wheelie if my life depended on it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think 10 because of your weight. Dan's bike hooked up nice and rode great with him on it at a similar paddle.... Up to you on the 8 or 10 inch rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshee Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 These are not haulers, and are not as good quality as haulers. But, I do have a set on my wifes banshee, and they work well. I couldnt find a hillclimb at Walden I couldnt climb with them. For they $$, they work. Something you may want to check out if you are in a hurry.

tyguy Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 yeah i seen those on ebay, i thought about them. i have some 10" wheels so i was trying to stay with them for cheaper but i may have to just get 8's. but those are only 8 paddles, wouldnt 10 be better off? i have sand devils now, i dont have a problem getting up anything but i just spin alot. im looking everywhere for deals fast, thanks for the quick eye theshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
