Studs in 2" track

[blueyoda]

Hello,

Call me crazy, but I am studding my paddle track. We can go from 8ft of powder to a ice covered lake in the same day, so I need versatility and cooling.
Has anyone studded a 2"X151" Polaris gen 4 track? I have 144 1.75" studs, how much do the paddles flex? I am willing to cut down my paddles a bit as well. I know we don't have tunnel ex changers under the seat, but will they tear up the tunnel? Any advice would be great.

Look up F-Bomb Track Mod here on SW.

Screws in the paddles instead of studs in the track

Thanks, I had those on my last RMK and it worked alright. i am going to chop down the paddles a little bit and run the "real" studs. I will keep an eye out for another, newer, paddle track. I read that the newer tracks are lighter and provide more traction. Cutting down the gen 4 might increase it's life as a cross over track as there will be less stress on the paddles from flexing. I will keep everyone posted.
