Default Looking for good paddle choice for Predator...

Let me start out saying that I live in SC and will only use paddles once or twice a year. I am getting into mud drag racing so thinking about straight paddles. Which would be better 9 or 10 inch rim...also how many paddles is good 8? I would like to stick to @ $150. Any help would be great. Especially if you have a Predator now but would like to hear from everyone. Had Sand Sharks on EX ( sitting in garage and unlike Dirtwheels article they will not bolt up). They worked OK but EX needed more power...thanks in advance for help.

Boy are you the wrong area to ask since this is the Raptor and Banshee (Yamaha section). If I were you go back to Polaris and stay there..... You know the rappy and shee will eat you up alive......

to answer your ? go with 9" and 8 paddle will be plenty enough.....

Hey Firehawk,
Out east hear we run mud bogs also and the new Maxxis paddles hold up better in the mud.
You want 8 paddle tires.

"You know the rappy and shee will eat you up alive......"

Even with a broken tranny? .......you sure are rude. Go to the Polaris forum and ask about paddles and you will get a much different response.
