Has anyone ever put paddles on a utility for the dunes. I went to the dunes a month ago and the sand took about every bit of power I had. Just wondering how paddles would work.

 

can't answer, sorry. Since you have a Rincon, try the guys at rinconriders.com too

 

Im a member there too but no replies.

 

Everyone suffers a loss of power on the sand. Paddles suck up even more. I really doubt that it would spin the tires, if they were paddles.
When i went to the dunes, i found my 300ex could go about 95% of the places i could go with paddles, but would do it quicker, and with less revving, than with the paddles on. If you dont plan on going up the steep dunes slow, you would probably be better off with stock tires.
You could try opening up the airbox, and rejetting, and get some of the hp back.
