Answer: Woody’s provides an easy to follow application guide to help determine the amount and length of studs for your track. Visual stud patterns and the templates with the stud patterns are a part of the product application search. It also lists the runners with the balancing turning carbide length to complement the amount of studs you have chosen to fit your snowmobile riding style. Woody’s application guide helps answer these questions for your sled.

Answer: Yes, the original Dooly and the new Slim Jim Dooly runners were designed specifically to reduce the front skis jerking as they hunt for the track of the snowmobiles that had gone before. Each has four contact lines on the snow surface to decrease darting of your sled as it makes its own groove in the trail. This reduction in front end darting allows you to regain confidence in your riding abilities because you can trust your front traction. While both significantly reduce darting, the difference between the Slim Jim and original Dooly is in the construction. The original DoolyT has two 7/16″ Flat-top® runners mounted on a plate for each ski. The Slim Jim is one piece —– and 31% lighter than the original Dooly. The new Slim Jim Dooly for assertive riders embodies the anti-dart of the original Dooly and adds superb cornering control. The area of the Slim Jim runner that contacts the snow has a narrower, sharper profile with 60° carbide inserts. This profile results in a more aggressive performance especially in the corners. The new rider forward snowmobile designs enhance this feature.

Yes, Woody’s manufactures the only stud and support plate tested and approved by snowmobile manufacturers for single ply tracks. Woody’s was contracted by BRP to assist in developing a stud and support plate specifically for single ply tracks. After repeated experimentation and testing, the 1.200″ head diameter achieved the mandatory tensile strength to pass the required pull-through test.

 Woody’s can now sell that same stud in our Woody’s line as the Grand Master. The Grand Master stud for single ply tracks has a 1.200″ head, 5/16″ shank and 60° carbide tip, the same as the BRP stud. The larger, aluminum support plates to accommodate the 1.200′ head are available in single round, square and double digger. The square plate is only available through Woody’s and Arctic Cat Accessories, the Double Grand Digger is available only in the Woody’s line.

 Our application guide has the studding recommendations and runner application for single ply tracks. See if your sled has a single ply track. Because it is essential that the correct support plate is used with the Grand Master, we have a standard package which includes both the single round and square support plates and nuts.
Woody’s templates with studding patterns for the 2.52, 2.86 and 3.0 pitch tracks are also available.
