Anyone have any experience or know of anyone who has used these? Looks like they may work in a ripsaw track..

I would think that they will pull out easily on a sled track. They are made for bikes & quads running on glare ice. Sleds run on dirt, asphalt, concrete, rocks, stumps, etc. I would say don't waste your money. Just my $0.02

I know a guy that tried them in his ripsaw track and it did not work well at all... They tore out easy and then caused the track to tear at the lugs. Then it started to throw them out at higher speeds and put small dents all over his tunnel towards the rear. Plus it could poke a heat exchanger?
Dont do it ,they will RIP right out ! they only work good on thick boots and knobby tires ,

I have good luck with Bergstrum Trail Grabbers In a Ripsaw track. You have to be careful which lug you install them in and make sure they are centered in the meat of the lug . Then I used some good Locktite super glue on the treads and installed them with a cordless drill and nut driver. let them cure over night and your good to go! I have about 5000 miles on these in my Vector LTX and they are holding up fine. These are not to take the place of Normal studs! They don't Penetrate like a carbide stud on ice . They will give you more control on ice and aide in stopping and turning. The good thing is the chance of having a tear out and major heat ex-changer damage is next to none.
