No problem studying a Ripsaw IISo as a newbie, can I ask if a stock Camco Ripsaw II track is ok to stud with a pattern recommend by one of the popular stud manufacturer's? Is this a composite track? (somebody above commented on composite track). Thanks

I have a 32s 129 " pre studded version with 158 1450 in it. It was the only 2 ply pre studded track I could find. So far so good but I'm a bit worried now. You have the NEW 320 model with a new lighter rubber compound , that could be the problem.

Highly recommend not going near composite tracks, son put a 1.75” on his nytro and it literally flew to pieces in 500 kms of perfect trails, ie: lots of snow no rocks no spinning on roads. Luckily Royal Distributing up here in Ontario gave full credit towards cam so 1.75” which lasted 10,000 kms no problem. Next season being thrifty his buddy with a nytro bought 1.25” composit and it promptly flew apart too. Lesson learned.

Wish I saw a post about that happening. Wouldn't have purchased. Didn't really find any negative comments b4 I purchased. Just hoping to get the word out so buyer beware.Highly recommend not going near composite tracks, son put a 1.75” on his nytro and it literally flew to pieces in 500 kms of perfect trails, ie: lots of snow no rocks no spinning on roads.

having no issues yet with the 1.5 lug one i put on the 11 xtx with no studs. examined the whole thing when i burned off exposed cords on it. care_bear usually rides it and she does ride it hard enough. has about 3000 km on it so far.
