Odd question, I know that the tires are still 20" tall, is there any handling/performance difference between 8", 9", and 10" wheels when running Sand Stars?

[yfm700lover]

yes. the smaller the rim the more hookup and the bigger the rim the better it will turn.

 

[JJackson]

Is this because of side wall flex?

 

[DL700]

sand stars are so stiff they dont flex much.......10 are the norm and wont bottom out the rims as much as the 12ers

 

[JOHNNY BAJA]

The reason I am asking is because I just picked up a brand new set for $100 that are on 8" ITP wheels. My last set of paddles where on 10" wheels.

You got a good deal on those. I don't think you will tell much difference. You going to the cinders?

Yep, that's why I picked them up.

i run 20x11x8 sand stars like u i got a great deal. only been to the cinders once, but they seem to hook up great sand or cinders !

 

[JOHNNY BAJA]

Did you go up $100 hill?

 

[cvraptor]

Did you go up $100 hill?

no i chickened out :banghead: but my son went all the way up on his banshee with the exact same tires :coolshades:, we bought 3 full sets front & rear for $600 w/ rims they were almost brand new

 

[JOHNNY BAJA]

I've never been to the Cinders before, but I plan on running $100 hill.

-Johnny

 

[JJackson]

We will make sure to bring you there in a couple of weeks.

I went up $100 hill. Couldn't go straight up the middle. Had to take a line to the left. It go up then curves to the right. Go Up in 3rd and down shift to 2 about 1/4 to 1/2 way up. I am stock. This was how I did it.



Almost the top of $100 hill. Yes I made it.

 

[JOHNNY BAJA]

What gear did you get into through the woops and hit the bottom of the hill in?

-Johnny

 

[oakleynutt]

I hit third coming out of the whoops and shifted down to second shortly after that. If you are modded you might hold thrid longer.
