maybe you should get the GBC paddle masters instead of some sand tire when the paddle would break

I think the paddles may give to much traction in some types of mud (real thick stuff). Thus with to good of traction, the paddles will dig in and try to push a lot of mud, putting way to much pressure on most of the components of the quad. This will lead to breaking a lot of stuff. They may work in some situations, mut I wouldn't risk it if you don't know what you are doing.......

i wasent going to try it but the subject has come up a few times around school so i just thought i might find someone that has tryed it to see their results. and putting any more preasure than needed on my fourwheeler is not an option cause i have already had to put one clutch in it with sur tracks on the back and i have all tracks on it now and they seem to do a good job, they offer lots of traction and i am a little woried cause the all tracks are alittle heavier than the surs so that might not be good.
