What paddles are you running? I have been thinking of going with the scat trac sand paddles but should I go with the 8 paddle or the 7 paddle? I am running Stock gearing with the HRC kit.

Thanks,

 

I was out at Rasor Rd. this weekend, and the 450 pulled up the longest, steepest dunes, with Holeshot tires. This thing is going to be awesome with paddles on it!

 

If money is no object get the 9 blade Extreme Haulers, you give up some turning ability but they get the best traction. I just bought a set of the new ITP SandStars which are the V groove and they work extremely well and are alot less money than the Haulers. Don't go cheap on the rims either, get red label Douglas or ITP T9's cause if you do any dune jumping you will bend rims if they are not the .190's, I learned from experience on this one!!

 

Ditto on the Haulers........

 

Thanks for all the replies,
So do you guys think it would pull a 9 paddle OK? Are the haulers and extreme haulers the same tire?Also where can I buy paddles online (Cheap.)

 

I would go with the haulers also... That the best bang for your buck.. atvoutfitters.net or rockymountain.com would be your best bet on prices....I would have to agree with briansgi get the ITP T9's... I just got a set (rearsonly) for my sand paddles from rocky mountain (scratch and dent) for $29 a piece $68 shipped you cant beat that price on T-9's .........

 

They claim the old 10 blade haulers are roughly equivalent to the new 9 blade Extreme haulers and yes the new TRX450 will work well with the 9 blade extremes. Learning2fly on here just bought some and loves them. Rockymountain usually has some of the best prices, alot of paddle tires are on ebay all the time too and usually at good prices.

 

The tires are pricy, but well worth it. The 9 paddle extremes hook up great. I lost a little in turning when I went to the flat paddles but I put some of the double rib ITP sandstars on front and it handles awesome on the sand trails. I don't think you'll have any trouble turning the paddles with your current setup. I am running a 13T sprocket on the front because it helps on the woods trails. The extremes also seem like they might last a little longer than just the haulers. The rubber is thicker on the paddle and the paddles are a little taller.

I'm still trying to adjust to drag racing and keeping the front end down. I think I try standing on the front end next time. HA
