i'm in the process of shopping around for a set of paddles for my ds, but here's the thing, i tried ghecko's, they're ok but just don't work as well as the haulers my buddy has on his ds, soooo my basicly stage 1 ds with stock gearing, and i'm looking at a set of 20" paddles, not 22"... but definetly 8 paddle for my motor, and the only question is haulers or the extreem haulers? and possibly the 21" extreems? no v paddles, just haulers, so any pro's or cons between the standard or extreems? thanks, josh......

 

extremes, you would be happier with the 22" hey don't get stuck as much.

 

I am in the market for paddles too so I was wondering why you didn't like your Ghecko's. They are a dime a dozen to find and buy and I was leaning that way, but if they don't work why buy them.

Thanks

A lot of complaints are they are heavy and really dont pull a hole shot like most expect . { gecko's}

 

From what i've seen and heard Geckos do not work well at all on a DS. I think they were designed more for bikes with a light front end and little power, not DSs and Banshees.

 

they suck on a ds it is to heavy they suck on the blaster but hey the kids don't know the difference.

 

Get the extreeme edge hauler - regular haulers are good, but they will not sand up like the extreeme haulers will.

 

You should be ashamed of yourself!!! LOL

You should have put it as "i am a loving and protective father so i put geckos on my kids Blaster so they won't get SAND WEDGIES"

 

i don't think you'll be happy with 20" standard haulers, especially 10" wide. i have seen tires that are more like 18" for the tire diameter (paddles themselves make it a 20"). ground clearance is reduced. the tires dig. you will get stuck. the tires look too tiny for the big DS. you will brake paddles unless you go with extremes.

i'd go with 22" extreme haulers, 11" wide for maximum flotation, 10" wide if want more of a "bow" in the paddle.

 

i do kind of feel bad but, that quad sits a lot so i'm thinking wait and get something else, and sell those with the quad. funny thing i noticed , one of the guys down the street has a new raptor and last night i noticed he has new paddles (geckos) guess i should have stopped for a visit.
