Looking to stud my XTX. What is the thoughts for the numbers? I am thinking about running doubles, instead of singles. If I run doubles I think I only need 57 double backers, right? And 114 studs. ?? I think.
Advantages to running doubles? Or that just means a bigger hole in the track if they rip out..... 1.325 studs with alum tall nuts... Help???
Thanks guys

Doubles almost gurantees no chance of studs tearing out. I run all doubles on my sled last year and they worked awesome. I ran 144 on a 121" track. I ran them down the middle vs outside and it was a good mix of control in a corner and hook up on take off. I am swapping that track to my new sled this year because it worked so well.

I am also thinking about how many studs I want to run. With a track that long I don't want to many and create a push.

Doubles work very well, 2500 trouble free aggressive miles. I found every other pitch (96/121, 108/136, etc.) to be a good trail set up. No pushing issues, and tall nuts are highly recommended.
