Studs and rear idlers

[jaydaniels]

Putting a studded track on my sled and wondering how the rear idlers will hold up as they are plastic. I can’t see being able to stud track without studding where idlers run??

no one has reported any issues with this at all. I would say its a non issue.

Had to replace 4 inner wheels this year, rear axel wheels were fine but they are aftermarket ( JT ) 4 wheel kit, no tri hub. I expect to replace these inner bogies as often as the slides due to studding. I use Woodys angled backers which I'm sure put even more stress on the bogies than any flat backer would. Most of the rubber was chewed right off the wheels, definitely from the studding.
