maybe my manual forgot the pages showing how to adjust the weight transfer....?.....!
I'm not trying to be sacrastic....I was asking as a serious question. My Nitro manual shows a picture of the old rods...! the limiter block doesn't even come close to contacting the arm......doesn't matter how fat you are btw....maybe 1/2" at its closest point........hmm

Well , had mine out today. Track was set to above setting with an extra blocks and wheels at the front of the skid to let the track freewheel better. Under hard accleration and deep snow riding it also rachets at times.But I'm sure the track has stretched and will need to be tightened . Guess I'll keep adjusting till it stops.

Well I went out and put 8 miles on it on the 2" of wet snow we got today and it didnt ratchet once. I had the track slightly tighter than the manual before I went out and it loosened up a tad but still no ratcheting. I didnt do any dead stop launches cuz the roads are sloppy but from a roll it lifted the ski's and just flat out honks! Gona take a bit to get use to the throttle response and the "rev" like chassis but otherwise very relieved at this point....

I adjusted my track for the first time tonight at 200 miles and it had enough slack that it hung slightly from the bottom of the rails. Now that its tight, no more ratcheting.

Strange. I've never heard of weight transfer not being addressed in an owners manual.
There actually should be a gap between the blocks and the arm, even with you sitting on the sled. This gap will close quickly as the back of the skid is compressed with respect to the front of the skid (imaging the rocking action when accelerating hard, lifting the skis). To test this out, lift up the back end and put a 4" tall block or a couple of 2x4's on top of each other under the track at the very back of the sled. Now when you put some weight on the seat, the rear alone will compress and the blocks should hit the arms with some weight on it.
