Has anyone used FastTracks DBL Angled backer and Woody Stainless STUDS????

I have run plastic. Never again! Aluminum is the only way to go in my opinion. And Woody's have held up great for me
 

i ran 144 gold diggers with "fast trac airlite polymer round backers",the best way to WASTE your money.Got home after first ride of 80 miles while washing it did inspection found 8 loose studs from cracked backers,removed them all and reinstalled square aluminum.It was first time trying plastic and i was not impressed.
 
You can feel a big difference when holding a bag of steel vs aluminum plates. Put them on your track now it's rotating mass, which is estimated to be 10X more.
 
Guys, I have 4100 mile on my Viper 02 with 144 Fast Trac Stainless steel studs with round backers. Riden very hard and with lots of hard spin out of the corners riden in Northern, WI only. The studs have held up awesome, some lightly bent, some on the outer belts on worn down more from the side that hits th road or center of trail. Never ripped one, never broke a backer either. Stainless steel. Blew a track though, was able to remove them all, and reinstall them with the same nuts, backers and studs on a new track and then put another 1000 miles on them with out a problem.
 
I was told the stainless signature series stud were less expensive because it uses the stainless steel instead of the hardened steel. The manufacturing process to make the hardened steel studs versus usingn stainless steel is much more involved.
