Got the 22 EPS and was going to stud it.
Noticed with the Ripsaw 2 it has those “quiet humps” on the track.
Stud Boy says to cut them off before install, I’m thinking of just running 3 per bar in the middle where there are no humps.
Anyone else have a suggestion!
Igrip stud screw??

Studding the stock Quiet track
I decided I'm going to stud the stock track on my sidewinder and noticed it has the little rubber pads on the track where the studs are going to end up. Does anyone make a countersink bit to cut some of that pad away before I put the stud in?

I have studded a bunch of these tracks. Don't worry about them, cutting them off is a waste of time in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply, I did help stud a friend sidewinder in January and had the chance to ride it.
We also didn’t remove the humps but when riding his sled I found quite a bit of vibration from the track and assumed it was the raised studs.

I doubt it was from that. Keep the studs out of the center 2inches of the track. If you stud that area the stud backs can hit the front skid lower shock eyelet.I found quite a bit of vibration from the track and assumed it was the raised studs.
I have studded many of these tracks and with a good pattern and no studs in the middle they are smooth.

Don't be afraid to suck them in. What are you using for fasteners?

I know guys stud their tracks right through the Quiet Pads without issue but I didn't like the way my studs were cocked off to the side with a piece of a Quiet Pad under the head so I made a cutting tool out of a stud. Started this process on my 2017 RTX-LE and have done several more since. Easy to do and recesses Quiet Pad nicely. Link to my post below...
Studding Quiet Pads - New Method
Seems there are hundreds of different parameters used for studding a track. Everyone has different methods and reasons to determine stud manufacturer, style, number, length, and location of studs for their particular riding style. Many threads have been started to discuss this in great depth and...

My buddy used a cutting tool on his quiet track bumps. He is retired and has lots of time. LOL
I have had no issues on either of my sleds that have them. I make the studs tight. Ride it, then retighten the studs with a quarter inch drive. After that I check them at the end of the season during service. I run 1.575 Woody gold diggers five per bar with aluminum plates. Those studs are not best for racing but wear like iron. I spend 95% of my time on groomed trails and lakes.
