Looking for some 20x10-10 Extremes 10 paddles....   Where is the best prices or anyone have any used?

Was told these would be good for my aprox 50hp 660.    Looking for 10's as I already have 10 wheels but if anyone has some 8"s post up too.

Sounds like A LOT of paddle for a 50hp quad.  I am 65hp or so (at 5000 ft and ride well above that) and run 8 paddle and sometimes I bog on the bigger hills with 14/40 gearing but thats with a 22" tire so would be like 15/40 gearing.  The 10" wheels are very heavy and a 10 paddle extreme would be equivalent to running a 12 paddle hauler due to the larger thickness of the base of the paddle.

You could try RMATV then call SandToyz Unlimited (since their website sucks) and Cascade-Innovations.net (http://67.199.65.66/cascade_innovations/newlook/modern_clean.cfm) and see who is cheapest.  SandToyz will always beat anyone else as far a prices.

so you think I should go with 20x10-8    8 paddle extremes?      I have a buddy with a 686 and stage 2 cam and duals.  He is running 9 paddle extreme tripple buffs.


I plan to go HC piston, stage 2, P&P, and I have duals....   

guess I should get some more ideas on what tire to go with....

Well I guess it depends on where you ride, altitude, and sand conditions.  You might be ok with 9 paddle if you are at sea level or around there.  Just seems 4 strokes get over-paddled a lot.  They aren't banshees where you are at 13,000 rpms and have tons of wheel spin.  Try out your buddies extremes and see how she does

Little sahara Oklahoma.   around 1000ASL.  Sand there is pretty fine.   Most just dont want to let you try out tires, so my friend may let me try his but then getting something with more or less paddles may be a chore.....

  Thanks for all your info, it is good to hear more than one opinion.

[Sandeater]

Sure no problem!  Since you are close to sea level then you could probably get away with a 10 paddle after your mods.  I am just used to not having any air being up here 

I would try Sandtoyz Unlimited for paddles.  They have a HUGE selection of anything you want and will give you a pretty good price.  Talk to John and tell him Aaron Zimmer referred ya.
