I have a 240 blaster and I need new paddles I am currently running GBC sand devils and I'm not getting enough traction they just spin when I try to do a wheelie or at the top of a steep dune

What tire do you guys run on your banshees and 250r's that aren't modded to much I was trying to decide between 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers or maybe a 9 paddle hauler
Does any one else have any good suggestion for a tire

p.s I am also running skat trak mohawk fronts

I run Skate II's on my Banshee and they seem to work real well. I just added pipes, reeds, reed spacers, Pro-Flo adapter w/K & N filter, boost bottle and jetting and last trip out while drag racing it wanted to wheelie up quite a bit. That tells me that it was getting good traction (hooking up). I know a lot of people that run this tire and all seem overly satisfied. If your Blaster was stock I'd say this tire wouldn't be the choice for you. As for the straight vulcanized (Hauler type) paddles I couldn't tell ya much. Hopefully someone else has them on a modified Blaster and so can offer you info about them.

I have used 8 paddle haulers on stock Banshee's and 250r's with good results. On the Blaster my son had, with only a pipe we used the glider paddle, but if you think you have as much as a stock 250r give the haulers a try. Remember you want the wheels to spin and float on top of the sand, not dig in, so its better to go with to little paddle then to much. Good luck.

I can beat stock or piped 250r's in a drag race so I need a similar setup
