i ride everything with straight paddles just shift your butt off the seat to the high side when your side hilling and there is no problem.

I now have the freebie paddles in my possession. I filled them to 10 lbs psi yesterday to see how well they hold. I do see some very slight weather checking though so I probably won't run then, at least not more then a test run.

I am going to order some Skat Trak Hualers. Trying to decide between the standard Haulers and the Extreme Haulers?

Also, I bought a seemingly nice set of Sand Skate ll's off ebay to give a try. I have read they are heavy so I may look at some Skat Trak Edges as well.

with your setup i would just run the Haulers instead of the Extremes. Both tires have the same paddle height, the Extremes are just thicker at the base.

One of my set of haulers are a little weather checked as well. I put some sta flo liquid starch in them and they are holding just fine.

I've always been told that the Extremes were better if you were planning on running across any hard pack or asphalt (like in Oklahoma), but to drop the paddle count by one. For example, and 8 paddle Hauler would be closely equivalent to a 7 paddle Extreme. My brother ran 20x10-10 8-paddle Extremes on his 85 ATC for years and loved them, but they are a bit much paddle for my stock-engine TRX if the sand gets damp. I know the Extreme paddles are far less prone to rolling over.

Thanks for all the great info everyone! I will start with what I have so far before I make any more purchases. Eventually I am going to want better rims for at least one of the sets I just got so I can address it all again later.

I am hoping to get to the sand very soon and rip it up! I am very anxious and excited to get it out there again. I haven't had it in the sand since the late '80's :encouragement:
