moookie132 Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 Anyone have any luck with "the edge" paddle from skat trak? Quote
ledofthezep Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 Heard nothing but good about them. I liked my haulers, just as much as I like my kings...if you're a big dragger, then I'd stay away fromt he edges, but for all around duning I hear they're great. Quote
Banshee~ Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 what kind of riding and power do you have?.....I like my sandstars Quote
BenBB Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 I'm running Skat-Trak Hauler Extremes and love 'em, along with Mohawks on the front. I've never had anything but excellent service from Skat-Trak, those are some great guys to deal with. Never tried Edges but like led said, they are supposed to be a good all-around paddle...I drag some and trail ride and no complaints with the Haulers, they damn sure hook up. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 Edges are great tires, I used to run them and had no problems from them. I run Sand Stars now and think they dune better, Sand Stars don't hole shot as well as others but for general duning they are great, plus they're cheaper than the Skat-Traks. Quote
moookie132 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Posted November 16, 2004 I had some haulers before and they were great but I do a lot more dunning than shooting up a hill. I was looking at the sand stars, but I think they are a little more heavier? no? they do look great. I called skat trak and they even have size 6 inch paddles for my kids 60's. they are a good company and they actually pick up the phone when you call them. Quote
RNBRAD Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 I ran Sand Skate II's for about 4 yrs. Loved them, a really good all around sand tire, for everything, even drag. Their only downfall is price and weight. They are performers though in all area's. I now run 10 paddle Xtreme Haulers. Most excellent tire also. Only downfall I could find with straight paddles was less stability while sidehilling. Though a better drag tire they are not the best all around performer as the SSII's, but very close mind you. It was worth the trade off for the acceleration factor. Quote
fenshee Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 stupid question: in order to run paddle tires do you need to do some other mod on the shee? i remember a friend of mine trashing a new sprocket the first time he ran them... Quote

locogato11283 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 my brother just got his itp sand stars and they look badass. not sure how they perfrom yet. Quote
Screamin_Demon Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 i've never run any other paddle on mine except GBC paddlemasters. I have ridden a friend's banshee with skat-trak edges and one with haulers. I'm hooked on my paddlemasters though. They turn great, hook up nicely, and I've run them in sand, snow, mud, and over rock and asphalt going from one area to another. They're 2 years old and show some wear and tear, but just rounded edges on the paddles. One has a small chunk out of the paddle, but it doesn't affect the performance. They are a bit heavy though, and the paddles are tall... 1 1/2 inches approximately. They've run well on my stock shee without a single problem. Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 Go with Skat Trak Tauler Haulers, 10 paddle, i like to feel the pull Quote
Lepew Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 Haulers 20-10 for general duning. Dirtwheels did a sand tire test just recently and compared slanted paddle tires and threw in a set of straight paddle haulers for a compairision. The haulers were perferred. I think that was one of the few things dirtwheels has ever got right. Quote
