New Track Set-up

[Theblackbullet]

Hey guys, I'm hoping to get a little input on my next project. I'm currently running a 1.25" Ripsaw with studs on my 136" M-10 RX Warrior and it needs to be retired before something bad happens.

I do 75% medium-aggressive trail riding and 25% off trail/ back country riding. With that being said, is there a better option then my current Ripsaw w/studs, like a different brand, or a bigger 1.5" lug? I have read a few things that told me a 1.5" with no studs will hook as well as a 1.25" with studs. If that is true I would be on board to take the risk out of putting a stud through my heat exchanger.

I only put on 500-1000 miles per year, so the real longevity that I'm worried about is dry rot, and that is why some of my current studs have begun to fail and rip out.

Thanks in advance for the feed back

I really like my new Ice Attack. Its the RipsawII with built studs. More of a paddle design than the RipsawI and has about the same traction on ice as 108 up the middle.
As far as how long before dry rot take over........ don't know, the track is too new on the market.

Is that a 1.25" lug on your Ice Attack? I see they make a few shorter ones also.

Thanks guys, that was one that I was actually thinking about. Will stock drivers have enough clearance with a 1.6"?

Well, I'm going to pull the trigger on the 1.6 Ice Cobra. I'm just wondering two things...
1. Will I need to change out my drivers?
2. If I change my drivers, will I need to possibly change gearing?

Thanks
