I am looking to get some Paddles for the Roketa Gk-32A (Turbo) 4 Seater buggy for when we take it out to glamis. Any suggestions on wheel and paddle packages. I do not want something to aggressive that take to much power away but want to be able to climb most hills too. Also do I need wheel spacers or would you recommend them. Should I use the wheel spacers with the standard tires when out in Ocotillo as well. If so how big of a spacer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help

My 650 Joyner is running well with 26x10-12 ITP SandStars on the rear and the stock trail tires on the front. I run 3" spacers on the front to reduce front end push from my locked rear. When I try to run spacers on the rear, I get even more push. The hubs should be 4/115 bolt pattern, so you can get 12" or 14" rims and the spacers from Joyner or through DoonRunr or BigE (trusted dealers). If you go with other tires, look at the weight rating - You will probably have to get paddles made for UTV's to avoid overloading them.

I saw these tires at the SSSShow a few weeks ago and will go with these tires after my weber mods. They are very light and solid construction and FAT on both front and rear so I will keep you on top of the sand.

Im not gonna bash ITP's cause I run them on all my quads and they work great too. But one thing impressed me about the doonz is the paddles are not too big or aggressive with scoop design. The vendor says the are designed so you lose no HP. but Im sure you lose some going with any paddle set up.

Good luck keep us informed!

Looks like going to go to Glamis for the first trip with NO Paddles and figure out what I want to do. I have ITP's on my quad, the Doonz do look cool and Douglas is a good company.

Taking the buggy for its first trip this weekend to Ocotillo Wells

Geek,
I have been looking at th trip just not sure those dates are going to work for me or not at this time. You are right around the corner be good to meet you one day

yup and i go to linfield so that is right in temecula

Thats right down the street from me....

I've gone through quite a few sets of fronts and rear sand tires I can't even remember them all accept that these "SandBlasters" have been my no. 1 choice for the 800. The problem with the smaller tires in the sand is getting stuck. A couple of inches makes a huge difference. Especially in your case digging out a four seater with smaller tires isn't gonna be fun. These are 26 x 12 x 12 "SandBlasters" 16 paddle #2.

JoJano,
Can you let me know the wheel size and rim size you run these on? Also you you run a spacer with these. I am hoping to get paddles soon for it and looking for all the help I can get as this is our first buggy
