Default skat-trak ?

i just bought some haulers off e-bay. they are a 20-10-10 8 paddle, im putting them on a kfx-400. do you think thats a good size to run?

my other ? is, my friend has a set of 22-11-8 gliders. my sand skate 2's are a 20 inch and they are the same height. im worried the haulers are going to be short, will i have to regear???

ive already went 1 tooth down, i ve been running sandskate2's (v paddles) and they spin like crazy coming out of the hole(drag raceing). i was thinking of going back to stock ,but im going to wait and see how these haulers hook first. thanks for the help.

How many paddles are your buddies Gliders.. A Glider w/ the same number of paddles as a Hauler will slider better in the turns and actually be faster in a straight line due to the drag they don't create.. A 21" or 22" will always be faster for drags or hillshoots due to that they will float better as a 20" paddle will want to dig slightly more..

They'd work good on a Banshee.. The mega hp Banshees K&T and Dennis Packard build here in Utah run Gliders the majority of the time.. They know what works and what doesn't even w/ 100+hp.. They just use 12-14 paddles.. I just got my 8 paddle Gliders. I currently run an 8 paddle Hauler/Glider mix.. The Gliders will be a better set up..
