Just wanted to share an experience with these paddles I had this weekend in case anyone wants to know how they will do on a 900XP. I sold my 2014 900XP to a friend of mine. It has a Yoshimura single, a fuel controller, HiPer carbon fiber beadlocks and Doonz paddles with Doonz fronts. My other friend has a bone stock 2015 900XP with Doonz paddles and Doonz fronts. Whenever they race, the 2014 beats the 2015 by a car length. The driver is heavier in the 2014 car. They both start the same and we usually race on the same flat spot and start with a flagger. The results are pretty consistent. This weekend, my friend with the 2015 car bought a set of GMZ sand strippers mounted on their rims. They are the 28" 16 paddle tires. We were concerned the paddle would be too much for the stock 900XP. I drove it and it definitely had a different feel. It seemed to feel more planted and had far less of a drift car feel than the short, wide Doonz tires. But the traction was awesome. The guys at DMZ said to run a little more pressure in them than normal to give them a little slip for the 900. We ran at 10-12psi. Now to the race. Same spot, same drivers. They both lined up and the results now were neck and neck. If anything I’d say the Sand Stripper car was slightly ahead of the Doonz car. So it seemed like a pretty good gain from a car length behind to now slightly ahead.
Just thought I’d share the observations. Also, the look of the 28’s on the 900XP was awesome. It fit the wheel house perfectly and was really proportionate looking to the car. The front rib did rub the mudflap on the driver side very slightly when landing off a hard jump. But barely enough to even notice.
