So I'm gonna head out to Glamis(my 1st time) this weekend w/ some friends and I know I need some paddles so heres the Q. What kind of paddles should i get?(not trying to buy expensive tires either because most likely i'll hardly ever use them) I'm probably going to be doin a little bit of racing but mostly exploring and getting to know the place considering its my first time. What else will i be needing? Where's a good spot? etc.......Just looking for some insight from those who have been there.
Thanks

this weekend will suck for ridin at glamis. the sand will be all tore up. not a good weekend to go for your first time. you will be using the paddles more than you think, you will get bit by the sand bug. i personally love itp sand stars. you dont need fronts just rears.

I AGREE, I JUST BOUGHT MY RAPTOR 700 ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND I BOUGHT ITP SAND STARS AND LOVED THEM

 

[450_Killa]

what bolt pattern and tire/wheel size should i buy for the rear?

 

[450_Killa]

4/115 ?

 

[450_Killa]

okay so i found this at my local chaprral store
Sandstars 20-11-10 10x8 4/115 .190 wheel $199.97
^w/o .190 wheel and cast wheel instead $180.97
21x11-10 Kenda K534 Sand Gecko on Aluminum - 0.190 4/130: $150.97
^w/o .190 wheel and cast sport wheel instead $130.97

what do you think ?

 

[sikraptor700]

dont get the geckos, also look for some 7 paddle haulers

 

[450_Killa]

oh yea and sandsharks for the same as the gecko

 

[450_Killa]

dont get the geckos, also look for some 7 paddle haulers

Why do u say this?

 

[sikraptor700]

the geckos are the worst sand paddles that you can get

 

[450_Killa]

okay i'll keep that in mind thx would i benefit in getting the .190 wheel as opposed to the sport cast wheels?

Cool Maybe i'll see u there
Anybody have input on the rim/wheel?Is it worth the extra bucks to get .190 wheel instead of the cast aluminum?

Not quite the worst, but they're up there. Ever try to run paddle masters???

for 20bucks more it can't hurt,. what color rappy did you get?. i would get black rims if you can, they would look pretty crazy..

 

[Quicker660r]

That's where I got my haulers for a little over $210. Haulers or Sandstars are both a great tire. As for rims I have .125 and have been fine. If you plan on jumping get the .190.

 

[450_Killa]

I went with sandstars w/ the.190 wheel thx guys maybe i'll see some of you out there..


BLue 700, they had no black wheels but im gonna get itp black beadlocks later on so we'll see when it happens.

 

[rockinfigs]

so what size did u get? 20x11x10?

 

[san-d-eggo]

the nice thing about sand stars, it turns the rappy into a wheelie king. just barely lean bach and barely blip the throttle.

 

[Randy27]

Ah yes there's nothing better than riding power wheelies in the sand :grin_nod:
