i borrowed a set of geckos from a friend and used them on my 86 350x. i couldnt keep the front end down. i have used other type of paddles such as sand sharks, surtracks and straight haulers i like the geckos the best myself. good luck

I run Sand Skate II's on 10" rims and they are great! Excellent traction and they corner decent also. Can't go wrong.

Well Howie said Geckos got actually too much grip, and didnt turn the best. I love mine, well just the little sand that they did see. The straight across curved paddles seem to work really well with harder packed sand..........peace

sharks are a cheap immitation of skates.
pay the extra cash and go with "Sand Skate II's"...
skates are THE BEST paddle offered for a 350x
if you can find a used "sand skate" or an old compitition cut paddle grab it, if not, put your cash on "sand skate II" ( its the paddle every paddle manu TRIES to copy)

mine cost $200 mounted .....
but i had the 10 inch rims...
the 10 inch rims had sand sharks on them....
took em off and gave them to a friend with a raptor because like I say....."SHARKS SUCK!"
you might be able to find rims cheaper than $50 ea.

Just picked up a pair of Sand Stars from ITP and Black label Douglas rims package for less than $200 shipped. I got the Sand Stars only because they came in a 22" rear tire (for a DS650) and couldn't find the Sand Skate II's in that size. Rockymountainatv got the package to my door on Friday and I ordered them late Tuesday night......pretty fast.
