Dropping Primary Weight

[lorne1176]

I need to drop some weight from my primary to raise my engagement, right now the sled pulls great once moving but boggy out of the bottom from stand still. Looking for some in put as to what has worked for those out there. My current set up as follows.

75g rooster wts (5g tip, 2.5 mid, 2.5 heel)
Team orange


44-48-36 helix
Team black/ orange


Seeing 43-46 mph track speed, running 5 - 7 lbs boost with a 2.5 ce(16" cut down to 15")
8000 - 8300 rpm
6500 - 8500 elevation


Thinking should take weight out of the heel down to 72g to raise engagement, right now it's around 4-4200.Almost forgot to mention I dropped down to 19 on the top gear.

TMaybe you should try the team pink primary spring. It has an extra 15lbs of initial force which would raise your engagement 150 rpm. It has an extra 10lbs final rate which might make you rev just a tad higher.

Did have a pink before and broke after 400 miles, thought I would try orange this go around.

Grind the heel of your weights, and re-shim clutch to make up for difference.
