amendola2001 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looking to stud my track. Has anyone studed the ripsaw 2 on a rev ? What size ? Round backers ? Long or short nuts ? Stainless aluminum ??? After an expensive season and a new unexpected track budget is an issue but bottom line is control & quality. Thanks need to get this done before a big trip. Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amendola2001 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah it is just has to double check lol. 2 ply fully clipped track. I've heard 1.325 - 1.375 and some say 1.4-1.5 but I think that's a little crazy. Need traction bad tried the new track without studding but bad idea.

amendola2001 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Is there a noticeable difference between 1.325 and 1.375? I think 1.325 would be fine and safer for stud issues. Some studs don't sell that size. Any experience with extreme max studs someone me too them and prices seem pretty good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Almost 16,000 miles on the Woodys I'm using: http://www.woodystraction.com/snowmobile-stud-gold-digger I haven't had to replace any due to loss or breakage. Then again I don't spin my track across paved road crossings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amendola2001 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I can be rough on my track and studs not on trials or roads unless I get stuck but I ride on a Rez up north with close friends and it can get rough out in the backcountry and bush so want something decent but the best is going to get beat no matter how good it is when I'm up there so trying to find the happy medium.

toddszr600 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Same track here(14 ZR7000) I used the 1.375 studboys and they are plenty long, Im sure 1.325(woodys recommended) would be fine. I don't over stud and I like doubles so I just did one set of doubles ever window, but that depends on your riding style I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have always used 1.450's in a 1 1/4" track. I went 1.325 in the first one I had and found they were way too short. Never bent a stud or had a pull through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bent a stud or had a pull through. 1.325 properly torqued give you 3/8 penetration which is a good level for durability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amendola2001 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks wildbill and everyone for the advice. Don't want to cheap out so might wait till I can afford the woodys. My tech likes his suppliers fast track ones and some like the cheaper max ones but either way it's a chunk and not sure inhave time to do it myself before my trip. I'm going to try it without this weeknd first ride without a passenger and see how it goes before Quebec trip. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rws Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 1.325 properly torqued give you 3/8 penetration which is a good level for durability and remember to re-torque them often until they take a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
