Running paddles on the 5B Flux resulted in squeezing rear tires on front wheels.



The tires have a firm molded foam and the paddles have re-enforced bars to ensure that they don't fold back under acceleration.

Well I was at Silver Lake Sand Dunes today.

First up was the 5SC. Placed on the sand, 10 foot rooster tails...stopped, turned to head up the dune, cracked the throttle and the magic smoke appeared.

CC XL is cooked.

Next was the 5B Flux. Hesitant about blowing this one up to, I eased into it on a 40 foot dune at the end of a road. Slow throttle on the first run to see how it went....well, a picture is worth a million words.
