I posted last season about the studded track on my '19 SRX chewing up idlers and thought I had a cure with a rubber tired Kimpex wheel,but by the end of the season at least one of them had been destroyed as well. I can't be the only one with this issue, surely. What are guys using for idlers with studded tracks? The stock wheels didn't last 100 miles and they were junk, and after replacing them 3 or 4 times I gave up on them. I have the studs as tight as I dare take the aluminum nuts. I don't pound the trails with this sled or ride as aggressively as some do either.The studs are SnowStuds, formerly Saber, and are maybe too long for the stock 1" track, 1.325" if I remember right. I am on the verge of replacing the track with one that doesn't have those goofy pads where the idlers run, which I believe may be causing the majority of my problem. Anyone have thoughts?
