Do you run a snow X track with studs? oops you don’t. You’re probably one of those guys who runs a 1.25 with studs and thinks he has traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I was hoping for more valuable lessons but this one isnt "gaining any traction". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly would be "proper"? Lets use my sled for example. Turbo 1100, 325 horse, 137x1.25 ripsaw 2 with 5 studs per row, high speed trail riding. What unstudded track would have more traction?
