What a differance it was pushing through 2 inches of snow fast enough I couldnt get a non blury pic lol

One question though.
How much lighter would paddle tires be?

[bigblockGT]

thts awsome are those hommade if so how did you make them

[zueslilbuddy]

Took about an hour and like 6 feet of chain.
Its a pain in the rump, but well worth it for the traction I was getting.
Just wondering if paddles would be lighter.

Man I want a ski kit now bad.

[bigblockGT]

yegh but would you rather spend a hour and use feet of chain witch proboly cost you $10 at the most or $25-$30 on a set of paddels then buying rims for them... easyer but just cost more money.

[zueslilbuddy]

Actually I had the chain for years lol

But If the paddles were lighter would meen less rotating mass and more Power, longer battery life, and might get even better traction.
And I have a set of rims I could throw them on.

[bigblockGT]

well now that i sound like a toatle idiot but your absolutly right i wouldent about the tire rotation tho i only have nitro's i also dident know the paddles were really any heaveyer than normal tires

[zueslilbuddy]

Oh no your totally rite about cost though 1 hour of my time and some chain I had laying around made a huge differance in how it went.
It almost was lifting the front tires on the snow compaird to last night with just tires and stuck on every snowflake it hit I was shocked.

What motor are you running. You should gear down with those chains if you didn't already.

I have a Venom Fireball 13t double in it and running 19t pinion.
