Went to ride this weekend. I have 20x10x10 10paddle haulers. I was beat by everything on the dunes this weekend. I couldn't get any traction. On the 300ft. drag I was still spinning out to 250 feet by then the race was way over. Any sugguestion. I would like to get 22x11x9 10paddle extreme haulers. Does skat-trak make them. Does anyone make a 8 inch rim to fit the hube on the Ds? Please help!!!

 

Go with 22X11X10 8 paddle Extreme Haulers you will get better starts. You will pick up top end speed with the 8's.

 

hopefully the 22x11x10x9 extreams work cause thats what i orderd last week

 

Unless your motor is built 10 paddles is to much. Go with the 8 paddles as suggested. jmo

 

Will the 10 inch rim give me enough side wall for the balloon look? Heard that you need more side wall for floatation on the sand. I have more mods on the way should I go for the 10 paddle. Port work carb and cams on order. Will I have clearence problems with the 22 inch tire rubbing my heel gaurds? Is there a special way to mount the tires to align the paddles? Would I be happier with a 9 or even an 8 inch rim if someone makes them?

 

i agree it was the 10 paddles that got you not the tire size and the 22 will clear with no problem. I run 23"tall magnum itps best all around sand drag tire .And yes you can buy a axel assy that will let you run 8" rims and triple shaved paddles. Cost for the whole package is aprox.1500$ but is well worth it its a titanium axle assy!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] GOOD LUCK!!

 

Uglyman:

Where did you get yours?

I think I will order the same thing and use the rims from my old SandSharks that are sitting around in the garage.

I think the 9 paddles are a good way to go. Someone else was running those at DS Days (can't remember who??)

I think as the summer sand gets a little wetter, the 20's will work a bit better. I really notice the Sand at Sand Mt. is very light and dry right now. I am definitely slowed down from how I usually run.

 

BIGds650rider,

Most of the guys in here that drag race say to start out in second gear, not first. In addition to taller tires, that should help you a lot, if you weren't already doing that.

 

Duneme .... i bought from cycle rider in ontario. i typed the wrong size earlier. the size i got are 22x11x9x9, 9 inch itp rim instead of 10. they also mount all tires for free. my package out the door is $280

 

BIGds650rider,

Make sure you are not mistaken a slipping clutch for spinning tires. If all you have on your DS is an ALBA pipe and CDI, A 10 paddle haller should be more than enough.
