whats the differance more or less hook up i run dune and track im think im going with a 12 paddle
22 11 8
currently im running a 22 11 8 11 paddle extreame
depends on the track conditions..the staggered paddles will do better in a looser,dryer,lighter track vs a thick,heavy,moist track then you cant beat a taller skinnier tire.
What about staggered extremes?Staggered for dirt, extremes for sand.
i agree bubba, i run 14 stagger extremes with a bar and i found that combination works best for me also. sand track.Here's the scoop (at least for us LOL). We have a frieken stack of tires and wheels for different surfaces and racing tracks. But just for sand alone we have different paddles. I can make almost anything work on my banshee with gearing and clutch work, but for the 250R I have to use a 71-72 rollout 12paddle extreme for the dunes and a 77-78 rollout 14paddle staggered extreme for the track with a bar. I also have a set of 12paddle staggered ripper 77 rollout.
I like the staggered paddles simply for the fact that they do put a bigger footprint down. The space between the paddles on the sides is greater allowing more "scoop" time. When going A to B the fastest is your goal, then you have to get the first 60ft as fast as you can. Of course that's with trying to keep the bike running smoothly and straight.

OK, with the 12 paddle extremes I run a 15-35 gear on her bike. If it was for me being about 40-45 heavier I would gear it to a 36 on the back. For her 14 paddle staggereds I run either a 14-36 or 14-37 due to the rollout difference. Once the air goes bad we are stuck with the 37 to get the best times. Hope that helps. I would run the 14 extremes with a 15-36 to start with since they are a 73 rollout.I knw this is an old post:
What kinda gearing u running on that 370 to pull that much tire? The reason im curious is, I have some 14 extreme 73 ro...that i was thinkn bout trading for some 12's for my 370....didnt think the 370 wld pull them 14's.....maybe im wrong?? I was thinkn bout runnin the 12's w/ 15/36/38 gearing, maybe im way off on my calculations,
Thanks for any input BUBBA.

Thanks man.....You have always been a great help Bubba! Thanks againOK, with the 12 paddle extremes I run a 15-35 gear on her bike.

JP, Bubba, what gear are you guys taking off in? We were experimenting with a very similar setup with a PSI 450cc cylinder setup until it blew up. We were running 16/34 for gearing and leaving in first with 78 ro 14 paddle staggered extremes and ending in third. Before that we were running 12 paddle extremes with the same gearing and leaving in second with pretty much the same et and mph and about the same 60ft but ending in 4th. I never got a chance to get the gearing right which is why I think we got the results we did. I was hoping to get the 60ft down with the 14 p staggereds if I could have geared it to leave in second and finish in 4th gear. Now were in pretty much the same setup as you guys, we had to go to the backup Prox 350 setup and were gonna see what we can do with the 14's, I was planning to gear it at 14/36 leaving in second and go from there. We have a back yard track and already tried 15/34 with the 14's but it was a bit to much and our track is much dryer and loose compared the local tracks.
