Another informative video. Bruce explains the studding well and from the last several videos I can tell he is a wealth of knowledge. I will definitely be hitting him up next year for new sled even though I'm in Pennsylvania.
I was thinking of a project Bruce can do! Turn a 155 matryx slash boost into a killer 136 inch trail sled!! The 146 would have been better but there's no turbo! We need a 200 HP two stroke trail sled!!👍👍
Best tip in this video is studding every other bar to help with rear end sliding. Bruce's description is exactly how I like the back end. Gonna possibly change the pattern for my black 850 XCR 136.
BRUCE Strikes again.....I FINALLY got my Matryx 850...It's 21.launch but basically all I could find...colors and price was right!!...put 96 studs with Prp series backers and a bikeman trail can so far....we are in the UP Michigan today...riden Boulder junction Wisconsin tomorrow ....Now we need to get to New York and go for a RIP with you guys!!!
Need to get Bruce mic'd up. Or let him hold the camera while he is talking... its hard to hear him on most of the latest videos, and i really want to hear him 👍
We are working on that but i feel as if hes been much better. I have to edit all these videos so i listed to them over and over and i didnt think he was that bad recently. But again im working on it
@@JESSEJAMES322 I agree this video was pretty good for Bruce’s volume, thanks for working on that Jessie! I didn’t have to keep raising/lowering the volume depending on who was talking like in some previous videos.
Thank you, everyone saying 96 studs isn't enough for my rip saw 2 137". I want some bite but not too much. I'm happy with my 96 woodys gold diggers 1.325
I was wondering what you guys think of pullouts on these new 1 ply Tracks? Does Bruce do a lot of heat exchangers or repairs due to studs flying out? They honestly make me Leary....
No he doesnt. Woodys actually has larger stud backers for 1 ply tracks. All trail tracks from polaris ( and i believe every track that comes factory on a sled) is 2 ply. But again they make bigger backers and the base of the stud is also larger
I just stumbled on the dealership one day driving around for work ( I’m actually from Connecticut). It’s a great place with a great group of guys working there. They gave me a little tour of the vintage sled collection out back, which was incredible. I’m brand new to snowmobiles and just got my first sled last spring. Is there anyone I could speak to about getting it studded up?
No way what a small world! Give the shop a call and you can honestly talk to anyone. Tell them i sent you and you want to get your sled studded. Theyll get you all set up!
I never ran studs in any of my sleds never really had a issue. Plus alway had a fear of ripping studs out or hitting heat exchanger. Should of went over those little studs for the tracks that are pre drilled for studs.
Some people dont want them. Thats ok. This was for the people that want them. There is nothing to go over with them. They come pre-studded from factory and thats that
@@JESSEJAMES322 some tracks are not pre studded but have the holes for them. I just see alot of people asking how to install them thats y I said what I said.
I have an ice ripper (factory polaris) on 2020 xcr. So it is a 2 ply ice ripper... It has 102 Woody's trigger 1.45. I am worried they are a bit tall being a 1.25 track. But the track also has the" ice ripper studs sticking 1/8th out on top of the 1.25 lug. Should I be worried the trigger studs are 1/2" over?
Great videos! Love 'm. On my 2023 VR1 129" with Cobra 1.350 track Bruce SR recommends the Woody's 1.450 stud. Woody's website recommends 1325 stud (Woody's part # not stud length). From Woody's web site: "Camso's Cobra track has a unique lug design with ‘traction teeth’ that protrude about 0.100" above the lug. Available to stud are 2 lug heights: 1.352" (1.250" w/o traction teeth) & 1.600" (1.500" w/o traction teeth). On this track, Woody's recommends 3/8" max stud penetration above the most prominent lug height. With that, the 1.352" Cobra should take a 1325 series stud, and the 1.600" Cobra, a 1575 series stud. Keep in mind, the stud series is NOT the overall length" Comments/concerns?
1.45 is what we all run on our 1.35. Gives us a little more penetration. technically the 1.35 is mostly a 1.25. Woodys puts the black and white info on the website but in reality you can go a little longer!
@@JESSEJAMES322 Ok good to know. I definitely want stopping power so good to know xtra bite by using 1.450 studs is not an issue. Thank you Jesse. Keep the videos coming!
For anyone is=n the comments wondering, as I did: The Series number, like 1325, is 1.325" long from the tip to the backing plate. Hence the weird numbers... Series number + backing plate thickness = lug height + ~3/8"
Hey Jesse, my buddy has a 22 850 VR1, idle keeps hanging high on it, won't let it go into reverse, sometimes takes 30 secs to come down. Have you or Bruce seen this? Been to dealer twice with no luck.
someone else reached out about this and i asked Bruce. He has not had any do it so he has no insight into it unfortuantely. I would assume it has something to do with the throttle bodies
Great info as usual! Can you guys' touch on scratchers as well. I run them and have proven they work, but there are too many that say they don't work. What are your guy's thoughts and placement on rail?
Damn dude. After watching several videos of yours... How much is on one sled? You seem to literally replace everything from stock. 20k? Don't get me wrong... More power to ya, but what is wrong with stock? (Btw, give your dealer a mic so we can hear him)
not quite 20K but getting close. We are just showing all the options to make every ones riding experience as enjoyable as possible. Many people get a sled and arent happy so we are showing you can in fact change everything to make your sled feel and act how you want it.
