On my esr 310 I run 13/38 with 21-12-8 8 paddle hallers. Pulls good and is good on second gear launch.

I run 14 / 34 with 18-11-8 taller haulers or
14 / 36 with 20-11-10 itp sandstars or
14-38 with 21-11-8 haulers.

I was running an ESR 310 on meth.

The 18" taller haulers are awful for anything but straightline, not to mention they throw an obnoxious roost. (i.e. the site banner on the other forum)

The Sandstar's are ok but they don't hook up for $h!T and they are too loose on off-camber downhills.

The 21-11-8 haulers have been with me since 1991. They are hands down my favorite paddles period. I have had these things for 20 years and they are still in perfect shape... And they are the only set of paddles I have that hold air for years.

I run my gearing a little on the high end, I like to run fast at WOT in 5th or 6th depending on the dampness of the sand.

I'm running 14/40 with my mx ported 330PV and SSII paddles. With my old 310 I ran 13/41. It was pipey. I had to shift it and rev it.

Well I hear ya on the pipey and reving. All of my group has sandrails and 4 pokers. They can all cruise up to a dune and put put their way up it. Me on the other hand has to keep the throttle pinned, down shift and haul *** just to make it over. I love riding with a buddy of mine with his banshee. The two of us have a blast hauling @$$ through the dunes, then I have to go back with my wife and the group to take the scenic tour. I am trying to buy an 03 Houser hybrid so I can have my put put R AND my screamin R.

well it kinda depends how good your tires are too...

i run some crappy old 22" Chin Sheng V paddles with 14-38 gearing. it works pretty well most of the time. bogs a little bit if the sand is wet from a morning rain or something

if you have some tires that hook good, you may need to drop down to 13 tooth front...
