20x10x10 9 paddle Extremes on my 686.

i usually use 22-11-8 ten paddle haulers on my raptor but as others have said you can find yourself getting bogged down unless the sand is very dry which is not too often around here.I am going to buy a set of 22"8 paddle haulers for my 690 on .125 wheels and i think i will se a pretty big improvement with that set up for drag racing.I get excellent holeshots with the ten paddle but i am finding that with the extra power that i now have it is quite a chore to keep the front end on the ground even with a 4" over swingarm.

 

I agree...I just went to a +5 swingarm to see if it will make a difference over the +4

 

Me too.

 

I agree. 22x11x8 UL with 8 or 9 paddles for 300' flat drags and gear it for second gear launches.
Going from first to second is the widest spead in ratios and may be the reason for the bog.
Gear ratio
1st gear 34/14 (2.428)
2nd gear 29/19 (1.526)
3rd gear 26/21 (1.238)
4th gear 22/21 (1.047)
5th gear 19/21 (0.904)

 

I run a 22 x 11 x 8......8 paddle Skat trak hauler (want ultralights[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img])

we are going to try 7 paddle some time though???

13/43 (which is equal to a 12/40) I think so very similar to madracing

 

Tom....let me know when you wanna swap...If your gonna run the wars, you can use mine....I'de like to try the eights on the hill once anyway for ***** and giggles

 

sounds good bro, i want to see which one is faster for me... and check your pm...

 

thanks guys for the help! i think ill sell my near new old style 21x12x8 10 paddle extreme and get some 21x12x8 8 paddle in an ultra light or regular!

 

Nooo... 22x11x8 if you can get them.
