Lets talk Paddles for Speed Cars

Have they told you when you will get the speed key?

Yea when I have 500 miles like we all have heard. However, the tune is not released yet. It sounds like Nick is the only person with that many miles, maybe Rick #14 also but I think they want to have it 100% percent so they don't have to go back and make revisions. The first batch of cars (mine included) have more advanced ECUs with data logging so I'm sure they are going to want to see the data while in for the speed key reflash. There are also some further changes they are making to the tune. They are still perfecting the cold start, RPM limit will be increased while not up to operating temp, and the ability to double peddle the gas and brakes for the rocks will be incorporated.

Good to hear they incorporated the double pedal feature. This will greatly help a lot of drivers in slow obstacles.

I have 10 paddle demons now with a stock x3 195hp. They actually work fantastic on the car. Plan on running them on the speed as well.

So I have the demons 10 paddle and really like them. X3 200 to the wheel but depending on what you want. I did try a 10 paddle skat staggered and it didn’t pull as hard out of the hole and in the mid but racing olds or d the drags the skats are faster. The demons felt better duning as they pulled harder and I like that feeling.
 
Has anyone tried the ss360s ? I am thinking the hp rears in 33 or 35.
Also: what rims will work ? Polaris ???

The SS360s work pretty good. You can slide them around if you want. Running the front tires backwards helps.

I would look at the 33" Tensor tire set up or the 33" Packard paddle tire set up. I have friends that run them on their Pro R 4 seaters and 2 seaters and really like them.
 
I'll be going with Tensor 33s front and rear.

I like that they have real data showing their advantage over the competitors.

The Tensor set up is reasonably priced and they work well. I have friends that use the 33" front tensor sand tires on their light weight sand rails.

Tensor would be on the top of the list of paddle tires I would be looking at right now. I think with the heavier cars the skat set ups might have to much sidewall flex.

Running pressure between 14 and 17 PSI reduces sidewall flex.

Where does it say that?

Why would they tell you that? I bought a set and mounted them on my KMC wheels and then sold the rears because they looked weak and measured small, but kept the fronts. Went with STU for the rear. Nobody has been around longer in the sand tire game.

I am pretty sure the Tensor measure very close to 33" on a 10" wide wheel. We put them next to my 32" Sandcrafts and they were taller. My Sandcrafts meaured pretty close to 32".

Weird you say that. Not the ones I bought. Nor the ones I measures on a Pro R at Dumont last season.

Those STU rears look aggressive but do you think it will be to much bite even with a 300HP tune? How are they on the stock tune? Granted you were at Pismo not Glamis so no real climbing but what about general acceleration.

Cool thing with STUs is you want to have less bite you comp cut the paddles to a 80/20
