I recently bought a new Camoplast Predator Racing snowmobile track with 1" lugs. Im debating whether or not I should stud it first before I install it. I was wondering what studs you guys would recommend and how many of them. I was thinking 1.2" studs and about 96 of them.
I agree with Sharkey , That sled puts out 130 to 140 hp , all you will do with 96 studs is spin the track alot and break the studs . I have a 93 storm and I run 192 studs , still spin the track some but none have broken yet
I am running a one inch track on my 02 prox 600 and put 120 1.25" studs all in the center! On my xc800 with a 1.25" track I am running 144 1.375" all in the center!
That storm should be running 192. Any thing less and you will just rip them out. I also recommend the Woodys 5/16 gold diggers. They have a larger head that really holds up good.
I'm running 144 - 5/16 - 1.025 - 1" head on my 99 800 XCR used on trails only. Not having problems with pull throughs. I would urge extreme caution with front heat exchanger. Mine is literally shredded. Track must be kept very tight (1/2"sag), constantly checked. Your taller track and longer studs are a scary thought after seeing mine. 144 works fine on trail with 8" carbides.
The heat exchangers is what I was worried about. I think the 99 800 XCR is identical to the Storm except for a different engine...does anybody else have a problem with the heat exchanger clearance?
I run 196 on mine, this is what the dealer recomended.
Runs great, I was concerned if I did not have enough I would
be ripping them out.
I have not lost or damaged any yet.
I am looking at what I think is a 1987 Polaris Indy Trail, could someone please help me verify what sled this is.
Model 0870761
Serial 1421358
Build Date 0901986
I would like to know what engine this has as well. It is 2 cylinder
Hello All,
I have a 2004 Polaris Frontier touring 4 stroke liquid cooled sled with the 136" x 15" x 1" track with the 2.52 pitch track that I use purely for ice fishing. Can I stud this track without damaging the tunnel or rear heat exchanger? I purchased 108 Fast Trac 1.175" triple X series...
While doing Polaris oil change there was a burning smell during the key cycling stage. After oil change there is still smoke under the hood coming up during idle.
95 polaris 500 efi - bogs down after warm up. I see others with similar problem. Machine runs fine for 20 min. Then it begins to bog down. Shut it off for 10 sec, something in ECU resets and it runs fine for 10 min, then begins bogging down again. Shut it off for 10 sec, runs fine for 10 min ...
