Default 21" Sand Geckos on a Z-400

Alright, I didn't really have a choice, so I went with some of the above mentioned tires. My question is, will these be too power robbing on a stock Z-400? I don't want to be bogging down in the sand the whole day, as this is my first time to the dunes. Will I be alright as-is, or do I need to drop a tooth on the front sprocket or something? Thanks.

My friend has that size & tire on his Raptor and he had to drop a tooth. It made them a little better but he still hates them.

Sand Geckos are heavy!! If you can try dropping a tooth on the front. You will still be alright but it sure would help, sand robs alot of power!!!

Well, shoot, that's just what I did not want to hear. I've heard good and bad about the Gecko's but I guess you can't really argue that they are heavy. I'll just run them this weekend, and if I have problems, I'll fix it for my next time out.
