My father just bought a new v-force. what are the best type to go with? Does anyone run the gecko?

 

DO NOT RUN GECKOS ON THE 700!!!!!!!!!!! I did and they were worse than the stockers, best tire for the 700 is the 22x11x10 Skat-Trak Extreme 10 paddles.... Im gonna order some for mine, but my buddy has them on his and he loves them..

 

I started out 3weeks ago with 20x10x10 Skat Trak 10 paddles on ITP baja rims. It was a vast improvement over the stock tires in the sand. However, they really tend to dig in on long steep pulls. ( I leave in Utah and like to run Sand Mt. at Little Sahara Sand Dunes). Last week I put on a set of 22x11x10 Skat Trak 10 paddles and it runs mch better. You have to watch the front end on steep dunes as it tends to want to come over on you. I talked to the folks at Skat Trak and they are experimenting with 25x12x9 to get better flotation and help with the front end problem. They told me it would probably be 4 to 6 weeks before they would be in a position to recommend which paddle works best. I couldn't wait that long! The Vforce never stops pulling even with the larger 22x11x10. Hope this helps.

 

I have the 22" Haulers with the 10 paddles on mine and love them...

 

Thanks for the info. With the 10 paddles and straight blades do you have problems turning? I ran (cheap) straight paddles on my rappy and had problems turning.

 

I remember on these forums someone was saying they ran 25" sand tires.

 

i run 25 in(paddles) on my prairie and no problems turing
