Track studs

[StickyNoodles]

I bought my Nytro loaded with studs. I wanna take the outer track studs out. The threads are beat on them, so there not worth my time or effort to save them. If I take them out, wil the empty holes jeopardize my track life or should I cut them flush and leave the plate boltes in?

The holes are already there, so if you take the studs out it will not weaken the track anymore then it already is. If you can get them out I would do that, less rotating weight.

I've got the 40th too. Not worried about weight. Just worried about the holes tearing over time. Thanks

I won't worry about them tearing, I would be more worried with the studs in on the outside of the track. You'll be good.

I love the sled! Absolute blast to ride that is for sure. Mine is not much of a 40th edition anymore though......

The holes that are left after removing the studs won't be a problem.

How many studs will you have in the center of your track after you remove the outside?

The holes should be ok, more damage can be done with the studs in
