Doug Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Every year we have the "what's the best stud to use" thread. Always debatable with good information but basically they all serve the same purpose. Backers offer a little more variety and options. I've used Fast-Trac backers for years have never broke any so they've been good for me. Use a combination of round and double backers Been using their Top Gun 2 studs for a 2 ply track but have been using their SP (single ply) backers which has a slightly larger dia. A little info here is if you use their Air Lite XL double backers which is the normal backer for the Top Gun 2 studs when you tighten them the studs will tip in towards each other slightly. If you use the SP double backers they have a little wider center to center and when you tighten the studs they do not tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I've always run Stud Boy PowerPoints and have had great luck. I typically stick to the aluminum backers but have also used their Super lite pro series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm a huge fan of the Air Lite XL's from FastTrac, and they've been my primary backer type for most of my sleds. I changed things up with my 2018 Assault by going with the Performance Stud Star backers & actually going to try them again with my XCR if it ever comes in. Other than those two, I tried going with iGRIP studs on my 2021 but never rode the sled so never had a chance to see how they work. That sled had a 1.5 Storm track though ... my XCR is gonna have a Cobra on it. This was my Assault track with the Performance Stud Stars: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 FastTrac on a single ply Cobra and thanks for the reminder to check and tighten them all when I have the skid out of the 500 Trying an Ice Attak XT on the 720 this season just to see how it works on groomed trail and to turn less rotating mass.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 If I’m the one studding the track, Top Gun 2s with airlite backers. This used track I just bought looks to have stud boys in it, with aluminum square backers that are all twisted up. I’ll be straightening backers and rechecking torque on all the nuts before I put the track in my Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger** Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) I am still a big fan of Stud Star backers but I was not willing to roll the dice on the single ply tracks. Still a Mega bite fan from Woody's and I still use them to this day. Edited October 9, 2021 by Badger** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I had no trouble with the Woodies doubles but, will most likely go with the Stud Boy Pro lites on my current sled. Just gotta decide if Im gonna keep the current track or go bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
