Same old paddle question but...

[smokinwrench]

obviously your wife doesnt know everything...who do you know that shaves atv paddles these days cause i cant find anyone..

looking for someone to make me another pair out of some sand skate 2's...i have a pair of dune sliders with a comp cut i wouldnt sell for a mil

The Sept issue of Dirt Wheels states that Skat trak and whoever builds Sand Skate tires will custom cut or groove tires for you.

ok, ok, i got it....feel free to pick up a mag sometime and get a clue , flunk....

i never thought about looking at the manufactorers (sp.) to cut em...

guess i will take little less than a mil for em :o :o :o

I have always ran 8 paddle haulers. I just bought some "The Trakker" paddles this spring, handling is perfect with them. I can go out on the flats and do tight doughnuts all day long, but they are terrible for drag racing.

Not sure what 'The Trakker' s are but get that they are a V from ya on that one. Just not a shaved / light weight one right?
I've got some Geckos but they R for runn'n up in the mountains. (Cinders ORV Park in Flagstaff)

I think after last months ride at sahara I will never run those tires again. I know I loose tons of handling characteristics with the haulers but I'm willing to loose it while gaining the power and speed in the drags. I've learned how to throw the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro end of my trike around while riding trails.

So if you CAN whip that booty around then why R U still gett'n new ones?

I soon plan on buying a set of Skat Trak Edge 10 paddle. I am hoping with them I can keep the same drag racing perfromacne and maybe gain a little on the handling department.

YES the Edge 10s might be the answer!?!? That's exactly what I wanna know before spend'n the cabage so when U do run em let us know. What's really gonna make me sick is that a pair of slightly used ones just went for $150 on ebay :Evil

Thanks for ALL the great info everyone, that's exactly what I needed... well cept for nobodys ever run a set before

P.S. definately get'n a front 'hawk' before I hit the sand again!

AZ250R, Those V 10's that went on ebay for $150 were mine. I sold them because the haulers hook up so much better. They throw a hell of a roost all the time and as long as you can whip the booty around, I think they're worth the loss in turning/handling.

OK, that's cool mang, but did "smokinwrench" buy them then? Cause if he didn't, and is gonna get some he sure missed out on a GOOD deal.

So you'd just stick with the haulers, & since I already got em... well... guess I'm set then. Well cept that I'd like to have 10in rims instead of the 8s, anyone got a pref on that issue whos runn'n Haulers?

Whats the paddle count on the haulers you're runn'n? can't tell from your avatar there Sandman.

From what I have been told from a friend who Drags once a month for the last 25 yrs....The bigger the rim and tire = too much flotation..I dont know from experience, that is just what he has said...

[Mr. Sandman]

My V's and haulers are both 10 paddle, 20 10 10's. Smokinwrench wasn't the buyer. The 10's will turn a tad better because they're lower profile, they won't spin on the wheel due to more surface contact with the wheel and they're better looking.

OK.. so I WILL be upgrading to the 20x??x10 10paddle haulers... what the heck, it's only money right!?!? I put in the width ??s cause I like the look of 11s if thats available or you tell me that's not what I want???

I did have problems spin'n the tire on the rims, when I've been whip'n that trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, so the 10in rims will be a performance upgrade for sure then!
