727: 22x11-8 UL 8 paddle with 12-40 gearing , comp cuts for play riding[/quote]

found it

 

for the wars... I will be running 8 paddle regular haulers and my dad just bought some regular 7 paddle haulers... so he has the better setup? and next year maybe uppgrade to UL (do you ask them at scat trak???)

 

so how much faster will my 740 be if take my 12 paddle tripple uls off and put 7 paddle tripple uls on it.

 

You have a 740? Who built it? I didnt think they had any of them in Washington?

 

i built it . it has a ross piston big valves anb mild porting. stage 2 cam and 39fcrs. while it is in hybernation.i plan on changing ehaust and tires if you guy think 7paddle uls are better than 12s also i was thinking of sending my head in and having craycraft give it a real port job and try their cam.

 

i run 8 paddles with the 727 seem to do great

 

Finally, someone steps us to the plate and says "I Built It "
I as well build all my builds and don't require any check-writing to the builder's out there and run with the best of'um, It sure feels good to run on a build that only your hands touched, It's no fun to run on someone else's coat-tail, anyone can do that.

well i can say i built mine too

 

paddle selection "rules" are different when comparing a 280lb 2-stroke to a 400-500+lb big bore 4-stroke. the weight and the torque of the 4-stroke is completely different. When you're at 500+ lbs, with significant front weight bias, you need more paddle.

on the flats:

i lost hookup on the DS when switching from 22x11x10 10-paddle non-buffed extremes on .160 rims from rocky mountain ATV to 22x11x8 10-paddle non-extreme superlites, 72 rollout, on .125 rims.

i then switched to 22x11x8 12-paddle non-extreme superlites, 74 rollout, on .125 rims, and still didn't feel they hooked up good enough.

i then switched to 25x12x9 14-paddle extreme superlites, on .125 rims, and the hookup is much better.

 

It's good that you can build your own...alot of people out here don't know which end of the wrench loosens the bolt...I on the other hand prefer using a builder.I don't have either the time nor the inclination to build my own stuff at this time in my life because of work and kids although someday I hope to have the time to do so...
