i forgot about those turbo paddles my brother has those, and they do work good , they seem heavy also but they are tuff, although i did notice some chunks missing after our last ride. he has both geckos and turbos and the sad truth is he still wishes he had got haulers. i've rode a predator with 20" 9 paddle and they worked great that is what i would recommend.

 

i have run sand skate 2 they where ok my favorate is the skat trak v blade 8 paddle best hook up i ever had.
they dont chip off like the skate or the shark and they lasted me really long

 

I ran the geckos on my Pred. for one weekend...they seemed to work okay, but I am gonna switch to either a reg. straight paddle, or a v-groove style...the geckos just seemed very heavy.

I am gonna run them on my Banshee tho...it should be making more than enough power to turn them.

Iwent with the cheap dune runners from Rocky Mountain ATV. They seem to work O.K.
I have edge v's on my banshee and they are a real good all around tire. they are a little more agressive than the SSII's (even with 6-7 pounds)but let the air down a little and they hook great for dragging. Both of the tires i got are 22" 10's so i can swap em if i dont like the way the straights work out on the pred. Now.. Before i got my Pred in November, I talked to a Factory guy that was Cruisin around with several predators. He had two identical bikes and he said that he ran 10 paddle 10" on one and 8 paddle 10" on the other (20" tall on both) and he said that the Predator had the nads to pull the 10 paddles and in fact worked "quite a bit better" than the 8's.
It really depends on what your trying to accomplish. Drags- 22x10x10 / all around and slide- SSII's or edge. really want to slide with alot less hill or drag ability? sand sharks!
I'd still reccomend going to a 22" cause you can inflate or deflate to conditions better than 20's and you get more floatation.

 

Hey I ended up getting the Sand Skate II's. Does anybody know what pressure i should run on them?? It says not to go past 30 but that seems like a lot. Any info?
Thanks

 

i would try 5psi

thanks vilnrk,

uh should i run different pressures for different types of sand? I mean wet sand and dry sand, or does it make a difference? Thanks

 

nah...with the ssII it should really make much difference. they get good traction anyhow




turbo bobby

no, i used to have a set a long time ago, now i have padla brat 9 paddles
