Default vforce dune problems

Took out the vforce this past week to the dunes. I didnt have a pair of paddles for them yet so i ran to the local place and all they had was some sand geckos. Man those tires suck on my bike. I was getting stuck and eaten up in drag races the whole week. I need to order a new set of tires for my next trip. When my dad was on the vforce and i was on my yfz450 we raced and it wasnt even close. You would think the vforce would get a jump on me being automatic but the tires sucked so bad it just dug in.

Anyone have any suggestions for a paddle setup that would work really good?

I have heard that the geckos are over rated. I think that peoplpe went after them cause they were a new style so they "just had to be better".

I did the same thing you did, I ordered some geckos.. I was getting beat by 400ex's with them.. Now I have some 22x11x10 Skat-Trak Extremes.. My buddy also has them on his V-Force and he can beat all piped rappys and banshees in a 300ft drag now..

I run 23 extream haulers and they work great. Can climb any hill holds its own against my friends rappy.

Was able to hit 62.5 on stretch of flat sand

get at least 22" hauler paddles. I got to try some 24" extremes and they were also good. Sorry about the geckos man. We could have warned you.
