Rough Rider Paddles

[chino63]

I've owned a few SRB buggies throughout my life. Two were originals back in the 80's, one was a Ranger XLT and the other a Rough Rider which I raced. More recently, I bought and quickly sold a mint Super Champ. After that, I bought a Sand Scorcher re-re which is now in the Baller Museum and a Rough Rider re-re which I still have.
One thing about these is the lack of decent tires, especially for sand. The Sand Blaster 915's are horrible and the Sand Tires Unlimited Paddla trak are not much better. 1.9's are too big for the scale of the SRB's, I wanted something that fit the look better. I decided to buy a set of the RC4WD 1.9 Sand Thrasher and shrink them. I did a set of the 2.2's to 1.9 before they came out with the 1.9 version so I figured it would work... and it does.

Comparison with the stockers.





With the solid axle Holiday Buggy and reduced 2.2's to 1.9's



I gotta say these just look right and they work way better. Now I need brushless for just a bit more power...

Have you tried Panther paddles?

Yes, I have them on my FOFF Jeep. Being that they start out as a 2.2, they don't cut and shut down to the 1.7" rim very well. They won't be round at a significantly reduced diameter, would require sectioning to narrow and the paddles would be huge and look rediculous.
