the comp cut 9 paddle padla brats are EXCELLENT handling paddles. i ran them on my +4 trike through the dune and mike330r ran them on his 350cc powervalve (i can gaurantee makes comparable power) TRX250R. we both were impressed with how well they turned for straight paddles even in comparison to his desert-mini's (comp cut). it'll handle the power of that raptor no problem in the dunes and IMO are the ultimate duning/play drag paddle out right now. on a 8 inch rim they are 11lbs mounted which is lighter than non-buffed haulers. also, 344pv runs them on his raptor, he wouldnt recommend them for no reason.

ultimately, call STU. the owner is so passionate about his paddles he'll work with you no problem. i called to ask him about comp cutting sand skate II's and i ended up talking to him for 20 minutes about other test he ran and how comp cutting displaces sand better more so than them being lighter. guy knows his stuff and is bar none IMO one smart guy when it comes to moving your machine accross sand.

 

Those comp cut Padla Brats are $$$$! Fullerton Sand Tires recommended 9 paddles after I described my machine, weight, and type of riding (300ft drags). They will be here before the Clash of the Titans so I'll have 3 sets of paddles to try. Thanks for the recommendations!

 

you said it yourself, what doesnt cost money in this sport.

the difference between padla brats and vulcanized paddles is strength. ill let you guess which is stronger. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

What about which one can be fixed easily for minimal cost?? and which can not be fixed at all?

 

nevermind

 

GREETINGS FROM OKLAHOMA! I have gbc 20x11-10 L Sand Sharks (V-paddle) on ITP rims and was wondering the best front sand tires to get. I ride sand a couple of times a year at Little Sahara Oklahoma.
You sand guys tell me if the Sand Sharks are okay. I am not a newbie but not real experienced in the sand stuff...let me hear your opinions.
I dont think they are that great in my small opinion.
Enlighten me on the best fronts.
Oklahoma sand can have anything in it plus hard pack getting to the sand.

Peace!
