As previously mentioned in one of my posts, I used to own a 400EX. So I've only done a few drags in the sand. Well this weekend at Lil Sahara, I got to try my 450R out in the sand. Overall, I was very pleased. However, I really didn't feel like I was getting very good wheel hookup in the sand from a dead start. Once I was rolling the tires did ok, I am running sand sharks 20x11 -10 . I tried dropping the tires to 2lbs pressure and it helped some. I'm pretty sure that I am going to need some flat paddle tires.
What tires, tire size and rim size will be the best for drags? I will keep the sand sharks for trails, so I am covered there. I saw lots of different flat paddle types this weekend. People were using tires anywhere from 8-10 paddles per tire depending on the wheel size.
Please look at my mods as well, I believe they will influence the type of tire that I can run as well. I was only getting beat by a few quad lengths in 100 yards, but that was all in the first 15 yards of the race. I never could get the holeshot, but I could close the gap and pass most quads in 100 yards. I would start to close the gap on the piped YFZs, but ran out of room. I really need help getting off the line. I think it would be a dead even finish with the piped YFZs if I could get off the line quicker.
Thanks In Advance.......
