LOL... Yeah some guy called Warlock gunna be all up in your junk now.

 

Lmao , I don't care what peeps run . We pretty much much know what really works. This is the no Spin zone.
Weight kills and Rotating mass really kills and any one that knows performance knows that. These cars don't have a 1000 Hp so it really matters. SKAT-TRAKS MATTER. Lol.
A small front ribbed tire is great for squaring off a corner and pivoting and doing donuts of that's what your into. Butba small sharp edged pivot tire does not float or absorb chop nor help pull you at all. Just my Op

I'm going to test those 13.00 against the STU and Skats.

 

What does anyone think about a set of 28-14 Sand Blasters on 10 inch wheels they measure 30 inches tall ???

 

I highly doubt a 28" tire on a 10" wide wheel measures 30" tall. Are you sure you are measuring just the tire carcass not the paddle height?

 

Yes it is 30" tall not counting the paddle Oh the roll out on these is 96"

 

We have 97"+ roll out tires we are running on the X3's currently. We mounted some 97"+ R/O Skat's on 7" Method wheels that roll out right around 100" w/ 10PSI - They LOOK really good on the X3

 

Pics?

 

The only photos of the 97"+ stuff I have at the moment I wont post pictures of until the customer picks the car up. (Hes a member here and specifically asked for no spoilers), sorry.

 

We do have 92"+ R/O Skats that are a 29.94" roll out with 10PSI on a 7" wheels in stock...

Mounted on Method's (i just mounted my last set with Can Am wheels - 5 sets shipped to me today from Method)

BOTH SETS SHOWN ARE 92"+ CARCASS 30x11x14 - 7" wheel roll out approx 94" w/ 10PSI

 

I run 12lbs front, 10lbs rear. Front tires just over 31", rear just under 31"

Nice! The rear shot looks good, you can see the paddles a little better!

 

93RO rear 94RO front. 14x7 front wheels 14x8 rear wheels.

 

Got the okay from the customer to post a photo up...

32" (99.65" Roll Out) Skat Trak 10 Paddle Extremes mounted on some 14" Method Race Wheels 401 beadlocks with some custom powder coated rings.

 

Saw this on Instagram. Really want to see what the entire car looks like.

How did you get those wheels to fit?

Yes that is what i have with the #2 paddle and play cut, If you air them to 15 psi it is a drift machine! Air them down to 6.5 for drag racing only. Best all around is 9 psi IMO.

 

Thanks Cammer yes on the air psi I normally run 9 to 10 psi in them and if the sand is real dry and want to have fun air them up 14 or 15 psi. Now i just need to find some wheels i like that wont break the bank.

 

Hoping to try mine out soon. 93 rear (8-paddle Ripper staggered), 93+ Front Buff

 

I tested 4 sets of tires two Skats (30" 14 paddles an 30"12 Paddles) and two STUs (28"x14 and 13.00x15")
the 13.00 was close to Skats in the performance less than a bike length but the 28" is like two bikes length.
The jump on the start line was for the Skats 14 Paddles but at the top the Skats 12 will catch up and the STU 13.00 is very close to them.

 

Why are you running so many paddles on the Skats?

 

Has anybody tried the pro armor 30"s? And where did you find the 30" 12-14 paddle Skat's? They special order? What cut did you run with the Stu's?

 

Don't waist your money on that Chinese made crap. You would be much better off running your stock tires.

 

I am guessing he had the staggered versions

 

Hoping he will reply back and tell us..

 

I ran my 8 paddle super buffed Skats and they worked awesome, for fast smooth dune running the 8 blade Xtreme wasa great now if your into some soft and slower choppy dunes and always in and out out the Throttle you might like 9 or 10.

 

I agree with Warlock on his 8 or 9 paddle argument on a 95" rollout tire. I would add one caveat, if you are going to go to a tire with 100" rollout I would add a paddle to it.

 

Some years back when testing different rollout and paddle combination on quads using haulers we always found you needed the same or less# of paddles as you increase RO, but never more. The larger RO tire will have a larger contact area with the ground and when it comes to buffed haulers the entire tire carcass provides some level of traction in the sand, not just the paddles. The larger RO tire will also be heavier and effectively increase gearing which are additional reasons you really don't want/need to increase paddle count.

 

I remember when everyone drag raced pro wedges too but times change. I have yet to see Packard, k&t, evo or any of the big drag racers use 8 and 9 paddles on any SxS. Will less paddle mph faster? Yes. But they fail out of the hole at the same time. 60ft times suck too. Outside conditions, terrain, power, weight, helix angles all play a major role in these SxS's and choosing the right paddle count or r.o. is not the same for all of us.




from the dunes

 

Rhinos can climb all of the Oregon sand dunes with dirt tires? What do you guys have out there, sand piles?

 

I'll start calling them the Oregon ant hills, lol

 

Winchester has some decent sized dunes.

 

Yeah just way too small of an area. Has some good tree shots also.

 

What about 13" wide buffs compared to 11"? I'm sure the 13's float better but does it take away from the turning?

 

Has anybody who ran skats, try adjusting clutch? Or did you just bolt the tires up and were happy with the results. Big improvement over the big horns?

 

There is no reason to even mess with the clutch with the Skats. If you run some heavy Tire and have to reclutch the car you have the wrong Tires.
