the portion of the track goes up against the tunnel protectors is taller there on a taller lug track...so its proportional...
so the studs is longer but the math is still the same...

Thanks sj. Really sucks cause I have been running 1.5 on f8 since 2012 without any problems . I guess I will do what you have done and avoid the 3.5" in the middle .the portion of the track goes up against the tunnel protectors is taller there on a taller lug track...so its proportional...

ok i hope i got this right i can use a 1,450 and be safe? what stud would you prefer and if you are selling this temp plate i would like to buy one also what backers should i use. ThanksWith a properly installed 1.325" woody's stud on a 1.25" lug track, you will get ~.375" over the lug. A properly installed 1.450" woody's stud on a 1.25" lug track will put you at ~.500" over the lug. I have used calipers for this measurement because I have OCD, haha. Below is a woody's chart explaining stud length.

if you install 1.450's and have .500" protrusion....you would have approx .125" or 1/8th inch to spare...IMHO you will hit possibly when the track balloons or grabbing a hand full of brake......

if you do sell these i would be putting in 160When utilizing the black template shown in the image above, you just follow the design shown below. This design shows a studding pattern with 112 studs on the inside and 48 on the outside. The one shown below will avoid studding within the center 3" of the track.

2000srx (cb performance) sells the template...good to have for other sleds also if you like making your own pattern (I do)..
as to the actual studs...depends on what you are after...ice racing? general trail...whats most important...the bite or longevity of the stud?

well....he sells the INS stingers Im running (see my photo in earlier post)..they are pointier and less durable known as lake racers...but stil have a carbide pin...this pointer stud helps on icey surfaces...
if you ride rocky or rough terrain or low snow conditions...i wouldnt recommend them...
in that case durability takes priority...
the most durable stud Ive encountered is the snow studs warthogs with round aluminum backer and tall nuts..

Just a thought guys, what are the fellas with the 1.75" tracks going to do about louvers? Or do the smaller tooth drivers not present a problem for them?
Mine came with a 1.75 track with 9 tooth drivers. What size drivers on the 1.25 tracks?

I just talked to the dealer again and he mentioned not only staying out of the exact middle, but also away from the sides a little as well? I don't mean the outside either (was only going up the middle to begin with. ) Does someone have a pattern like this?
