Listen "STT 05 - Why Buy From Fast-Trac Snowmobile Studs"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to "Snowmobile Trail Talk," where host Chris delves into the world of snowmobile studs in the Fast Trac product line. This episode, part of the Snowmobile Stud mini-series, focuses on the unique offerings of Fast Trac, a third-generation family business started by Chris's father, Terry, and grandfather, David, a Navy veteran. The company's name and logo, inspired by David's military background, echo their commitment to quality and innovation.Fast Trac has pioneered several industry firsts, including a 5/16” shank size, stainless steel studs, plastic backers, and TracSpec Templates. Emphasizing domestic manufacturing, their products cater exclusively to trail riders, steering clear of race picks and carbide tip race studs. This focus comes from a desire to avoid misuse complaints, as race studs don't last on trails.The company's Top Gun stud kits set themselves apart in design, materials, and placement. They feature low-profile heads for seamless track integration, preventing damage and ensuring smooth running surfaces. The studs are individually heat-treated to a grade 8 specification for maximum bend resistance. The Airlite polymer backers in the kits are a standout feature, offering durability, flexibility, and a range of color options at no extra cost. These backers maintain tension on the nut, negating the need for retightening, a common issue with aluminum backers.Fast Trac's Top Gun tall nuts and TracSpec templates further enhance installation ease and efficiency. The templates, available as print-yourself PDFs or through direct shipping, are tailored to specific track lengths and stud quantities, ensuring optimal scratch line distribution and track balance.Chris emphasizes Fast Trac's exceptional customer service, with the owners themselves being readily accessible. The company boasts a high online rating, backed by a large number of reviews. Their products come with a lifetime warranty against breakage and a promise of rapid shipping. The upcoming episode will guide listeners through the stud kit installation process. Chris encourages listeners to research Fast Trac's reputation and invites questions for further discussion.You can learn more at FastTrac.co
