Default Edge or Haulers (help)

Moose you finally talked me into that set up. I should have it by Jan. I am going to get the 20s in the back though, on .190s.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Default Edge or Haulers (help)

Ive got some 8 paddle haulers on my 400ex, 20x10x10 and they do great. I have no problem turning at all. Ive also got a set of Mohawks on the front, and that helped alot.

Default Edge or Haulers (help)

i have rode eraptoids raptor also, he has the 20x10x10 10 paddle edges, they do suck some power, but with his motor work i cant readily compare,

they seem to be on par with my 22x11x10 8 paddle edges, except i do get slightly more spin, i love the 8 paddle 22" tires, (hauler or edge) and would reccomend them to anyone, the only difference i can see is you give up some traction with the edge's but they seem easier to throw around, as far as sliding/turning,


no matter what anyone tells ya, we all like our skat traks and wouldnt trade them for anything, traction is something you need alot of in the sand, and you will hear arguments that go both ways for the hauler's and the edge's ,

but i have to agree with Moose on the 22" tire, it makes the gearing perfect, almost like 2nd gear goes on forever

Moose and Sandgod have it right. 8 paddles is the way to go - and extreme haulers are a fine 8 paddle tire too. If you want to climb the hills - especially in the soft sand - then make those 22" tires as well. So, 22" 8 paddle Extreme Haulers would be good.

Forget 10 paddle tires that's way too much drag for a duning machine. These are for hillshooters and really high HP machines.

I have sat at the top of Chokecherry wathcing Raptor after Raptor TRY to make the hill... All the ones that couldn't make it or barely made it were using V paddles. Straight paddles make it noticably better up that hill.
