R1 Rhino Paddle Feedback

[BiggJim]

Well I finally got to burn a tank of fuel in the R1 rhino and have some paddle feedback. I am running a 26x12x12 10 paddle extreme on a 8" wide wheel.

I am running a 5:1 final drive gear ratio.

The 10 paddle seems fine on launch or roll start and any more paddle I am afraid it would be too much on take off. You are able to do a launch for a drag race sceniero and it doesnt seem to bog the motor too much. The 10 paddle seems to have plenty of bite climbing hills and just generally duning, However when you are on the power 8K and above it seems like you could use a little more tire. So for me they seem to be good start.

did you play with the air pressure in them at all?

 

[BiggJim]

No air pressure changes were made. The sand was really wet about 1-1/2-2"s below the surface. I think at glamis or dumont it may act different.

Jim u need way bigger paddles then what u had on your car at the show today. Go see Dave @ FSS. I think I ran the blaster 2's and it held fine with 11k launch.
