Spent all afternoon with the buds at the test strip running gps on all the sleds in about just over 1000' The Apex was ulmers old 06 RTX grass dragger with a 22 top gear; mod air box & cobra track with stock secondary & a set of drag n fly weights bolted in the primary. All sleds are at least clutched & some are modded up pretty good. Below is a list of mph recorded on gps on each sled
06 apex rtx...103.5
05 Mach Z 1.375 track & different ecu.....101
05 Mach Z 1.25 polaris track & clutching only....101
08 renegade 800.......97.5
07 renegade 800....97.0
06 Firecat 1" 13 wide track & speedwerx pipe.....98
95 Mach Z piped & minor engine work....99
95 mach Z 835 bb; pipes; porting; .....109
94 mach Z 975 bb but not running 100%....109
The apex is a definate runner & the drag n flies could have been fine tuned for a little more pop but they were close. in an all out drag race in 6-700' The apex won when it hooked up.

Turk, I'm curious if you've done any definitive before and after with the Drag n flies. Any idea what they're worth bottom and top on GPS?
Thanks
Thanks
Had stock weights & hammertimes previousely. These seem so far to work the best.

rxwhopper, how does it do against a stock Attack with equal traction. The Apex does not have the traction of a 136".

I have noticed a lot of people testing/curious about the Drag & Fly weights. Does anyone have a good starting setup for all around trail riding? I have been posting some of my results in another topic in this section, and I still haven't found a solution to the dead mid-range problem.
