To contnue the post by Mr. Sled.
Guys, I purchased this RX Warrior this year and have not had the opportunity to test ride sled do to lack of snow. I also own an 03 F7 and O2 ZR 800 ( Wifes Sled) both are studded. The ZR 8 with 144 on inner belt and outer belts and the F7 which has 153 on the center belt only. We rode 1500 miles last year and for me to give you an honest comparison handling wise would be mose difficult based upon the fact that these sleds are (2) totallydifferent animals.
The ZR 8 handles aboluty like it is on rail and in straight line runs hooks up beautifuly and my wfe is not a very heavy personand still has awesome traction. The f7 on the other hand is excellent in straight line and very good cornering but pushes a bit do to the 128" trackand studs only in the center belt. The Firecat requires that you have your body into it on turns at higher speeds, the nice part is it doesn't swing the rear end does'nt swing around on you.
Where-as my daughter will be riding the RX warrior the majority of the time I want to be darn sure the Yami stays true in the turns and boogies out of the chute on straight line runs. So this is why I am listining to suggestions for the Warrior before I stud it. Rip Saw track or not it's being studded as it is a much more enjoyable ride and most inportantly a safer one. Thanks for all you sugestions but I am still unsure whether it is best to stud the outside belt along with the center on this particular sled.

With all of those studs you've added to the A/C's, how much more carbide have you added to balance out the front end on each machine?

I think you could find the thread from last year, where some center studded tracks were getting into the heat shields. Seems the guys who spread them out didn't have a problem. I don't know if going either way would be a bad way to go, but I bet you'd notice a difference. I think a person would have no problem getting used to a sled studded either way. Good luck!

Ran 8 Inch Woody's on both sleds at first, then settled for 6 Inch. The six Inch worked by far the best and was much more positive running through turns at 45 to 50 MPH with no push at all plus less cost. Hopes this answers your question.
