Do you need tunnel protectors for igrip studs in a 1.6 cobra?
yes. any type of added traction to the track requires tunnel protectors!
oops , should have watched more of video before asking my earlier Question on length.what model of woody's and backers for the 1.50 storm
no problem!! thanks for watching!
Great video! I finally pulled the trigger on a left over 2023 xc 850 adventure. I’ve been watching for a couple years now and you swayed me to buy my first new polaris. Now I’ve owned every brand from new. This will be first addition is tunnel protectors and studs
congrats on the new purchase and thanks for following along!!!
If the studs only protrude so far above the tip of the lug so the tunnel protectors really need to be so tall? I cut down the 2” track and added 306 igrip screw in studs. Just wondering if I really need the protectors. Even if the protectors were a half inch tall they would still do the job of keeping the studs from hitting the tunnel. Thinking of making my own.
i absolutely would with that set up
@@JESSEJAMES322 for sure. but my thought is why do the polaris tunnel protectors need to be so tall? they are at least an inch. if the theory is that the track will hit the protectors at the track windows. if the height of the track at that point is the same height as the top of the lugs then the studs stick up maybe 3/8 of an inch above the lugs. why do the tunnel protectors have to be an inch when a half in would do?
just to be safe. its under teh sled so its not hurting anything being longer/taller
What size stud do you recommend for the 1.50 storm track ?
One thing ive never EVER seen is an actual test between an ice ripper track vs Traditional studs, I would live to see the comparison not just for traction on ice but acceleration as well,Ice rippers are much lighter and also are much more reliable and Never throw out studs even with high mileage... Thanks just a thought 😂😂
Seems like the carbide maker companies don’t recommend the 8 inch ski carbides unless you have a studded track. My xcr came with the 8’inch carbides but the 1.6 cobra isn’t studded. When going online to buy oem replacement carbides a 4 inch one comes up. Which ones will work better without studding.
I would still recommend the 8 inch. It’s going to provide better steering. Not sure why they companies don’t give that option as they come factory with 8’s.
I read somewhere that you should retorque your studs each year. So I looked up the torque on woody's website and torqued all my studs. They dont look flush they have a little dimple on the back. Is that a problem? Thanks Larry
should retorque them a few times a year. 99% of people installl them in a heated shop and or dealer installs them in a heated shop. when the track goes outside and its 10 degrees the track shrinks and they will come loose from time to time. smart to take a peak at them a few times a year
How many spaces on the xcr track in 136? Trying to get my studs ordered before I pick up the sled
136 (length) / 2.52 (pitch) = 54. It’s always length divided by pitch of track. Trail sleds are either 2.52 (XCR’s) and all others are 2.86
Thanks for the reply 🤘🏻
Should have no problem getting 4 in there. Run them all in from the back. Drive 1 in back 1 in drive 1 in back 1 in
talked the the owner of nitro and you can fit them
@@JESSEJAMES322I’ve done it a ton of times with an older style shorter V
ive done a ton with the newer sleds just havent had enough time with this trailer to really think about it but we'll for sure get 4 in here
Will you be coming to NH grass drags this weekend?
Yes! Will be there part of Saturday and most day Sunday! Are you going?
Yes Sir will be there Sunday! See you then@@JESSEJAMES322
24 XCR with 1.25 Ice Ripper. Does it come with the protectors?
Anything with an ice ripper will have protectors yes
Recommend ice scratcher’s to keep the temp down
I have never used Ice scratchers so I’m not sure what works best. These sleds run very very cool and I personally don’t see a need for them
Fair Jesse - I assume you don’t run a 1.5 - 2” track either. My crossover comments are probably hitting a wall here.
i do not now but i used to run 1.75 and 1.5 year in and year out. I know the 2 inch does throw alot of snow out the back and also does not circulate. what ive ssen is the skidoo ice scratchers mounted on the polaris. seems to be the best option out there
Trailer size?
7.5x18. Below is the link to the overview of the new trailer

Think you could get 4 146's in there? You guys going to be at the NH grass drags?@@JESSEJAMES322
146’s will be tight for sure. They do make a 22 that would for sure fit them. And yes I’ll be there part of Saturday and Sunday
