Both those stud patterns are the same, but it works good thats the on i use.

I have the same stud pattern but the other wat.
I dont think it matters which way, i think they both work great.

Mitch
so none on the outer edge is recomended like 3/4 fron the edge of the track? I will be using the trails alot and a small lake. My track is .921 and got 1.00 studs, will my stock tunnel protectors be ok?
how do u adjust tension on the track and or remove it for studding or can i just lift it up a couple of feet?

Just lift it up a couple of feet, and i would put in the 3/4 inch tunnel protectors.

It doesn't matter which one you use, you can make up your own pattern if you like. The big thing to look for is to try and get as many scratch lines (seperate lines the studs would make if the track spins) to provide the best traction possible.

My advice is to use the double backers instead of the singles. They will provide just as good of traction, but a lot better support. The studs will put up with a lot more stress this way. Good luck!

If you want to add studs to the outside of the windows you can but i have found that they rip out of the track much more often, also the reason for putting studs there is for more cornering control not as much for acceleration in a straight line

The Tugster has got this one covered! Add Dooredneck's awnser on the outside edge studs (been there!) and the lesson is complete.
so 96 down the middle would give good traction in cornering and straight?

Yes and way better stopping on ice or really hard packed snow.
I also like to avoid putting studs where idler wheels will ride over them. Otherwise wheels don't seem to last very long.

I like putting all the studs in the middle section of the track, but I have a couple friends that work for Woody's and Stud Boy that will argue about it with me all day long.

Of all the tracks I have studded, it's been my experience to stud ALL lugs outside the track windows, or NONE of them. I did a few sleds with the Woody's/StudBoy recommended 96 pattern where the last row was both outside, so it was 1 every 4. 3 out of the 4 I did had tear outs in the outer belts. Those sleds were 550 fans/500 liquids/583 liquids, so it's not like it was from too much power.

I've done probably 50 sleds where I only studded between the rails, and friends have many thousands of miles on those without a single tearout. Also the ones that I did 192 studs on, with a stud in every outside lug, have never had a tearout, either.
