Installed an ice attack at the beginning of the season and have absolutely loved the way it perfoms as designed.
However I have been running it on some lakes the past few weekends that are essentially glare ice and find that it is not quite enough traction under these conditions. Sled tends to start spinning and sliding out.
Is it possible to drill holes and stud the ice attack?
I know it says not to but I would not be leaving the studs in all season. I would only install for a few rides each year (200miles max) and it would always be on the lake.
Any input appreciated.

why would you remove studs yearly?

No problem to throw some studs in. I run the single ply Iceripper XT on my turbo XR1200 and added 96 studs into the middle band. I'm running the original megabites and std double backers too. I believe its fine to run a std size head on the single ply track as long as its in a double backer for the added support. My tracks is doing fine even with 215 HP. I have 4200 miles on it total and about 1200 miles since adding the studs. The turbo just had to have them or I would have never put them in.
