Hack Job Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 ok guys i have a 01 shee with t5's and a k&n wiht no lid and jetting to match i have not messed with gearing i also have a noss head with 21 domes . do you think that these KENDA SAND GECKO REAR TIRES sized 21 x 11 - 9" are a good choice for paddles? any help would be great thanks again Quote
kenr74 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I think HELL NO would be the best way to put it. Geckos suck. You can't go wrong with Haulers or a Kings Turbo. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 Haulers are Great tires. Sand Star are great v paddle. Geakos are Hmm, Oh a planter. Best to stay way from them. They are Heavy, stiff and throw sand up and not push you ride up the hill. If cost is an issue Best to save alittle more, Geckos are cheap but they Quote
navy00banshee Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 i have the same setup as you and i run the Kings Turbo Paddles, and i love them. hook up like haulers but they are cheaper and weight a little more. Quote
rptorman Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 When I got my shee it had Gecos on it. Then I got rid of my Raptor and left the haulers on it. I should have kept the Haulers for my shee. "Shit, I'm a dumb-ass". Skip the Gecos and get something(anything) better. Quote
dnhyoung Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 All I have to say, is stay away from the Geckos. I have 2 friends that swore by them until i let them try my haulers, not they are trying to get rid of their geckos, so they can get some haulers!!!!! Quote
racer Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 geckos blow. sandstars are the way to go for sure. not as much hook as a hauler, but they are only like 56 bucks. haulers are 89 i think. Quote
Wallrat Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Haha...I did the same thing when I first got my shee. Ran 8" wheel with geckos cuz they were cheap and I was broke - Man was that stupid. A new set of knobbies hooks up at least as good as the geckos do. I'm running Sand Stars on 10's now and love em for everything except dragging (which I rarely do). Not much more money either. Quote

Can't go wrong. Quote
racer Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Haven't you ever heard the sang " You Get What You Pay For "Get Haulers! Can't go wrong. 301217[/snapback] haha, yeah. but not everyone needs that kind of hook up. people like me with somewhat stock motors. Quote
dnhyoung Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) haha, yeah. Edited January 3, 2005 by dnhyoung Quote
ledofthezep Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 i have the same setup as you and i run the Kings Turbo Paddles, and i love them. hook up like haulers but they are cheaper and weight a little more. 299991[/snapback] Word. They compliment my -2 arm quite well. I dropped from 9paddle haulers on a stock length arm down to a -2 arm with the 8paddle Turbo's...and for the price of them compared to skat, you gotta love'm. Zephead400ex used to run the gecko's...I sold them for him so he could get some of the turbo paddles. Moral of that little bit...they suck even on 4chokes. Quote
