A balanced combination of carbide ski runners and studs on the track
ensures adequate control and better handling, see illustration.

Using studs on the track will allow your sled to accelerate better on
packed snow and ice but will have no noticeable effect on soft snow.
This can cause sudden variations in traction under certain conditions.
Always go easy on the throttle and never try to spin the track to make
the rear of the snowmobile skid. This could cause debris or ice to be
thrown violently backwards, possibly injuring others nearby or on
snowmobiles behind you.

As in the case of acceleration, using studs on the track will give you
better braking capacity on packed snow or ice but will have no notice-
able effect on soft snow. Braking may thus vary suddenly under cer-
tain conditions. Be sure to use restraint in braking to keep from
blocking the track in order to avoid surprises that could lead to a loss
of control.
