Enough studs

That will help, but it's nearly impossible to put in enough traction for the torque of this motor. I ran 216 1.450 megabites in a 1000 Gade with the 1 1/4 Ripsaw last year. Still not enough.

Look's like they should hook up very well. How long are those? Where did you get the tunnel protectors?

Nice but I found through experience you get much better traction with square aluminum backers such as woodys or stud boy. More support. Not that I ever had problems with plastic but when I went to Stud boys' there was a noticable improvement. I like the medium nuts though!

Yea. I was just inspecting my plastic backers on my 800 and they are about shot after a year. I broke one and lots of holes enlongated. I am replacing them with aluminum.

I couldn't get enough traction with my z either
I actually went to 1.5" track anticipating a lot of powder last year
which we never got.
I am contemplating putting the 1" slicker back on & add more studs.
ANy ideas?

Yellow Z they are the 1.325 Gold diggers and the tunnel protectors are from Shadetree. Machzed did an excellent post on tunnel protector and stud installation a while back. The protectors you can get from doo are just not enough. I think the boys are right I still don't think it's enough to hook up with this monster!!

Does Shadetree have a web site?

SKIDOOSKI, the pattern is from a Woody's template I bought at Royal Distributing here in Sudbury. My pattern is four studs per bar, there is also another Woody's template that has a 5 and 3 pattern. If the plastic backers last it should be a good winter.

Thank's I had a few guys looking for longer tunnel protectors and I guess I will need some this year as well.
