Default Paddles on tires line-up..

Ok FYI. I took them to Walmart and had them break the bead on one tire. Cost $0. Proceeded home and mounted the broken bead tire on the hub. I tried to rotate it but couldn't so I took 2 woodworking bar clamps and clamped the tire in on the walls so the beads wouldn't grab on the rim. Turned the tire so I could align with the other tire and bolt pattern and inflated with compressed air to about 10psi when the beads popped back into place. Not as easy as turning the hub itself but I am a prefectionist.

The engineering side of my brain tells me that aligned straight-style paddles will maximize acceleration out of the hole. So we will see at the sand drags in a couple of weeks.
