I am looking for a set of adjustable weights that will allow me to adjust easily. I do not like the SLP weights that require you to drill our rivits to change weights. what else is out there?

supertips...
there is a link to their site in this thread. I think they will work with your sled.

I have used Hooper weights on a few of my Polaris sleds. For a milder engagement you have to run maxiclips behind the weights. The ones I use are adjustable from 59-66 grams. They are very easy to tune.

Thundershift weights from Fett Brother is a very good weight set. They'll also provide you with excellent technical assistance.

I'm using the Thundershifts on my Pro-X 700 and are very happy with them. Easy to adjust.

Needsnow, what base weight did you start with? How are you setup now? weight per hole,setsrews,spring pressures?

I'm back at 64.4 grams...'til the fall when I can test more. I only got to ride from the house a couple of times. I lightened up the middle a little and I didn't like it. That's about all the farther I got. The guy who I got them from (I forget his name, but he invented them), is pretty good at giving a setup that works with the way the sled is set up when you buy them. Until I make some changes to the rest of the sled, I don't think I will need to get much more out of them. I forget the exact set up right now, all the stuff is over at the farm . I think I have a single set screw (heaviest one) in the heel, with the larger head bolt in the middle with 2 light washers, and the smaller head bolt at the tip.
I'm still stock on everything but the secondary spring, I have the red/blue. I want to go back to the black/green reverse wound, with the shims. I think I will leave it there too. I have to pick up a couple of lighter initial primary springs. It is puting so much torque to the ground, I can't get traction on take off. Those weights grab so hard I just tap the throttle loading the sled on the trailer and it makes the truck and trailer jump. I want to try the engaugement in the 3200-3500 range to see how it hooks up and loads the motor. Too much torque at 4000+ to get the track to hook up IMO. I still have the stock helix, which will stay there until I figure out what I want to run for a secondary. I'm going to wait on the Paragon until it has proven itself more. The TEAM works too well right now to worry about changing it.

so again what is your base weight? it must be less than 60 grams with everything you have on the weights. a dollar bill weighs 1 gram. I'm debating buying a set of these. so far I've not heard anyone that dislikes them.

Oh, sorry, I forgot that part. :banghead: 55gram, 55.4 to be exact.

How many grams have you spent on sleds over the years?

I agree rivets are a pain, especially if you tend to make many changes etc. I have been very happy with my heavy hitters, cost a little more but much eaiser to adjust.

I don't want to think about all that weight! When I was argueing about the differences in my Hammers weights, Randy Nouis told me that dollar bill line. I checked it out, he was right.
