Studding

[dox06]

OK, fellow nytro owners what's your thoughts? I have yet to stud my track and wanted to see what the general opinion was. I am looking at going with 96 1.325 down the center band, with double backer plates. Any thoughts on my stud pattern?

I don't know about the pattern with double backers but I would recommend tall nuts to help avoid the bending and breaking.

i have 96 down the center just with single backers and none bent or torn out after 1 season 900+ miles.

why double backers??

Double backers

I was thinking double backers for a little more strength and hopefully keep the dreaded pull throughs from happening. Not really sure on it as of yet but was leaning that way. I will go with the tall nuts instead of the shorties.

Double backers and power nuts would be the way I go. Its just going to be a stronger, more durable setup.
Id also suggest doing an inside, outside studding pattern Kinda like this:

You also might want to consider going with 120 instead of 96. Your sled has a ton of torque, definetly much more than the 120 hp rating would suggest and with more studs you have less stress on each individual stud and that would lessen the chance of pull-outs.
I think that if you went 120, double backers, power nuts and studded it on the inside you would pretty much eliminate any concerns with pull-outs.
You are going to eventually get pull-outs no matter what you do, but with the above setup I dont expect it would start to happen until 4,000-5,000 miles from now.

Here is my next question for everyone. I ride with a buddy who has a Nytro also and is running 96 1.325 down the center. His issue we have seen is the studds tearing up the tunnel. He does have protectors but we notice they are not keeping the studs from contacting the rear of the tunnel and the exhaust can. I understand when you jump and thus you stand teh chance of this but, Any thoughts on this. I am going to stud my Nytro but don't want to run into the issue of tearing up my sled to much.. ???????

I have 144 1.325s down the midle and have had no contact issues ... mind you I'm not a jumping kind of guy but I don't baby it in the rough either.

 

[dox06]

Thanks guys for all the imput with this. Now all we need is a little snow to start playin in.

 

[THE SPOILER]

Go with roten hornets , they hook up like ice pics.

96 down the center- no problems at all

96 will work just fine. I would recommend the double metal backers and the tall nuts. Go to you local hardware store and buy the tall nuts. I got them from a industrial supplier for $.01 per. All they are is nylon inserts. Buying them from woody's is a rip off.

more studs is better

I to want to stud my track ,with 144 like my friends vector gt is. Its a woody's pattern I was going to use 96 down the middle and 48 on the edge of the track with 6 inch doolies carbides.I read that for the HP that was right for the sled ,I think it was at woody's site .Oh I forgot my sled is a 06 Nytro ER What do you think

 

[clicker_clit]

Alot of people say that 144 is the right number for the sled, and I agree with that, but alot of people are using 96 and thats all I have used in the past. I think that if you use 96 doubles that is more than enough. Singles is another problem. I would recommend that if you use 144 put them all on the middle belt. You will have problems with studs on the outside belt in the future and most likely if you run any singles at all which you will with 144 they will rip out.
