OMG that is funny.

My youngest daughter, 8 years old, looked like she was on one one those Fat losing Machines that shake the crap out of you. While riding at slow speeds on the road to the dunes, that thing was shaking her like you couldn't believe. She was a trooper though cause she was having so much fun, but it was a long ride for her to the play area, but she kept going for 3 days [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] She had to stop about every 100 yards though to rest her hands they were shaking so bad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Didn't help they left the tires at 36 psi to seat the bead, adn of course I didn't check it. Did lighten up a little after dropping them to about 2 psi. Once you got up to speed in the soft stuff they worked great.

 

My wife's sand stars are the same way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Rough riding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I have haulers for paddles on 2 quads and they don't waddle or ride rough at all[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'm sold: haulers or straight paddles are the only way to go[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Mine arent bad as long as im goin fast. But at a slow speed they ride rough..

 

I just ran a set of 18x8.5x8 Gliders on a lt80 at Coos Bay in OR the tire did OK but I felt we need more paddle, the Glider paddle is short like 1/2in. The LT has a few mods reeds,jetting,Air box ,air filter,chan & gearing,and clutch work. My Daughter weights in at 50lb and did great on a lot of the dunes, it has the power to spin the tires for 10 feet so I’m thinking we need more tire. I’ve been looking at the 18x9.5x8 Sand Stares for mini and the 18X9.5X8 6 paddles Haulers. If any one ran this Haulers on a mini please let me know what you think. Can someone with the mini Sand Star measure the paddle height and let me know what is and how many paddles it has.

Thanks
Ron

 

Sand Stars have 6 paddles, with 6 lil kickers

Paddles are about 7/8" or so, kickers are about 5/8" or so

Part of the reason I think the LT80 shakes so bad is the stock suspension sucks.
I think that is part of it......

We used Sand Sharks on the 250ex and those worked great also.


GOOD LUCK

 

Wasn't going to say it but since other seem to have the same problems....literally bent my battery mount. Like riding on a square tire. Give me HP and knobbies any day. Will work just as good.

I'm looking at getting the 6 paddle haulers for my daughter's raptor 80. Just can't stand[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] the pounding you get from the V pattern tires. Can't always ride ***** to the walls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
