Default Paddles for Vforce

Has anyone tried running 25x12x9 Scat trak paddles on their Vforce? If so, what style (extreme, haulers, etc.), how many paddles, and where did you get the wheels to match the tires and machine? I am currently running 22x11x10 Scat Trak Extremes with 10 paddles on ITP Baja rims. They hook up extremly well but with the machines weight and my weight (360 lbs) I think I might need something with more floation.

Will a 9x9 wheel fit a 25x12x9 tire???
Thanks for your input.

That is kinda what I was thinking also. Not sure if there is anything out there yet but was hoping someone had experience with a 25x12x9 paddle and wheel setup.

Hey guys, a little of the topic but could a Vforce with paddle tires plane across a mud pit about 20 yards long? We have local races in my town called mud drags were the mud/water is only 8 iches deep with a hard bottom. Ive seen a quedzilla 500 plane across, do you think a Force could?

Yes the Scat Traks, come in 25" X 12" X 9"...I have a set of the 9" X 9" Baja wheels...incredibly strong, & light...I'd get the extreme paddles though, they are twice as thick... Scat Trac is behind on producing tires, I was going to order a set of these for mud bog races ( Scat Trak only reccomends these tires for for sand ), but they were 4 -5 weeks behind in production...25" tires would eat up a lot of HP... if your'e doing dunes you should run a shorter tire ( 20" - 22" )...I wouldn't run more than 10 paddles probably 8 - 10...Hope this helps ... Have A GREAT Day, Go Four Wheel'in !!!!! WAM

Thanks for the info! Have you ever run the 25x12x9 Skat trac's in the sand? How may paddles are you running? Do the 9x9 wheels fir the vforce or did you have to modify them? Is the power drain of the 25 inch wheels noticeable even on the kfx700? Are you running a stock machine? Inquiring minds want to know all these questions? Once again thanks for any info you can give me.

The Baja series wheels ( 4 on 137 ) were made for your 700 ... I wish I lived closer to the dunes, that would be a blast...I was going to use the Scat Traks strictly for Mud Bog Racing... they won't hold up very well on any hard surfaces, & Scat Trak will tell you specifically that they are for sand use only ... yes my 650 Prairie is not normal ... I would reccomend the Scat Traks highly, but don't own a set, as delivery time would have been half way through the racing season ... I would reccommend either 9 or 10 paddle extreme's for your 700 ... Have A GREAT Day, Go Four Wheel'in !!!!! WAM

In case you were wondering, 25" haulers with 9 paddles will cost $162 each and you still have to buy rims. I just called skat trac. They guy said they are testing with a Vforce now but have not found a tire they really like yet for it. For somebody really big, 25" seems to make sense. I'm medium build 190lb. I still havent decided what to do. My friend has some 25" realters in his garage. When he build his rail he used them till he got a serious engine. Now he's got monster 30+" paddles. I'm gonna see if I can fit them on my kfx700 and try them out in the sand.

If you are interested in the 20x10x10 Extreme (10 paddles) I would be willing to part with them. I dont want to give up 22x11x10 as they are good enough for the wifes machine as she only weights maybe a buck and a half. give me a call on the cell (801-694-9198) and we can discuss the matter.
