i found some paddles on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sand-Hauler...sQ5fAccessories
they are called "Sand Haulers" so i was wondering if they are skat-trak brand. or could it just be the brand of tire before they turned into a paddle. for the price they seem good and way cheaper than the 250 i got quoted for the same size 7 paddle bead to bead haulers. so i was wondering if they should preform about the same. it is an 8 paddle but my 250 has an 8 paddle so i it shouldnt hurt the performance that bad. i mean im not hurting to get paddles i found a spare set of haulers and edges in the attic and i can use those while i save for my own set. thanks for any help!

Tough to call on that one,,,, but from personal experience,,,,,,, if it ain't a obvious skat track, then it ain't even close to a skat track. I have seen a WHOLE lot of knock off brands,, and they just don't hold a candle to original skats.

Not saying those will not work, But that pic that is given, I just can't tell what brand it is.

If you go for it, just be prepared for the outcomes.

I can't find a trace of skat's logo anywhere. I don't think they are but everyone who has been buying them seem to be happy with them. Have you sent a message and ask what they are?

Skat-Trak will be marked on the paddle itself, if it is a hauler it will look like this: H Skat-Trak H across the paddle.

Try a search for this similar topic. Some people don't have a problem with them and feel they perform great and others, like myself, have had the pAddles start to tear at the base after a few rides.

X2 Had two sets and one blew out the side wall and the second set the paddles tore off.

i was looking at the sand snakes from AMS they look decent for the price i can get them. my buddy has there paddle on his cr250r and it really hooks up but i wonder if the atv paddles are good.

My buddy had them on his raptor 660 thought he liked them till I picked him up a pair or haulers. He could climb alot more hills with the haulers then with the sand snakes.

dam! i thought htey would be cool. im just gunna see who has some haulers that are like the stock size. unless someone has some to sell here? might as well spend the coin now then later have to buy again.

Sorry, slight thread jack in progress. The OP said something like, maybe that was the brand of tire before they turned it into a paddle. What does that mean? They take regular tires and then turn them into paddle tires? They aren't made from the begining to be a paddle tire? Sorry for my ignorance.
