My iceripper with those built in studs did ok. I saw the benefit of that type of track. It just didn’t work for how I ride. Here is my 09 after a March ride on the North Shore after leaving Grand Portage late afternoon on a March ride, it would have got really lonely out there if the heat exchanger would have popped, but hey I was hooking up Yea I know it was the outside belt with the tear outs, but I've many tear out of the center too on other sleds, in any event each to there own. So much fun, good times, good fuckin times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 That is not enough studs for a turbo sled Vince.......also the Cobra needs to be overstudded or it will be damaged in short order by that much power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a pretty decent rider and can, and have ridden without studs. But it limits how far you can push the machine. It’s fun to slide around and goof off on a studless machine but, I prefer riding with control and speed. Hell, my skis are CA XT’s with 10” inch bides. I’m not sure a studless track would even push me through the corners with those fucking things. Dude , your sled would be about 10mph faster if you tossed those things in the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I fucked up the track in in 09 I replaced it with a 136" Ice Ripper, first weekend in December 08 and I'm riding with team Canada and some maniac Munising local busting open swamps and then we hit H58 going into Grand Marais MI, 80 to 100 mile an hour just power sliding curves and corners taped, 18" of fluff snow with zero base............I fried the carbide right off of that Ice Ripper, rode the rest of the season and the next without studs, the throttle is your friend @Momorider gets excited Edited October 31, 2018 by Mileage Psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much fun, good times, good fuckin times Yeah, I never stud the outside. I’ve never had a full tear out but I’ll bend a few every now and then. I try hard to not spin the track and can usually push the track to the limits (or my limits) on the conditions without destroying it. Track spin=slowing speeds. The “type of stud”, “how many studs” and “where and how to stud” is a whole different shit show argument in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing out on? I've never felt like I needed them and they will just tear the shit out of my shop, truck, trailer, etc. i took the studs out of my 05 gade in 07 after i bent a bunch and outside 2 seasons on an ice cobra have put 30k miles on without them. i took them out of my current freeride the weekend i took it home moreso because the previous owner didn't put front exchanger protectors in.
