Heavier set screws for dalton weights

[baggs66]

Hi braggs66,i have a few options for secondary springs,but if you have had good luck with the 41/35 Dalton helix w/Dalton blk/tan do you think his blk/org at 70 twist will hold the belt from slip on his 41/35? The one thing I did not like about his white/cat green spring was its overall length and wire dia. it did well but was always very warm. I have both Dalton blk/org springs,the one I now run,is his first gen,and I have his new one that requires another 10 degrees twist,which one do you feel will work best with this helix?

I haven't had the snow to ride much so haven't gone back to b/o yet second gen spring, but i think it will work ok, i went with the black/tan for better twist pressure and is working well with xs825 belt, may try 60 for heat but already running well and not that hot and primary cold to touch so i think this is real close

as long as you are close on the base weight.

I think I said that.

That’s what I did to get rpm back with xs. Took my DTya1 which were 74.6 gram on the scale empty to 70 gram each. Still run them empty and pull 8850 on max 17. What a difference in the power of the sled. So snappy and responsive. Love my set up now

I am amazed with the max 17 tune you needed to reduce that ramp by that much,and you still do not run near max rpms.I have the max 16 tune and same ramps ground down to 71.7 than added weight where I needed it to be,and now they are 73.8 and pull 8900-9000 rpms,w/stock 35 helix.

Nice, but I bet they are pricey. Let us know the cost please. May have to do a group buy and min order.

700$ US for 30 1/4" slugs
Lol new weight are cheaper!!!

5mm tungsten rod sounds like a better/cheaper option.

Not true at all, you can put the weight in the tip or leave it in the heel or anywhere in between, I've done it every which way. Who wants to take the weights out all the time to swap out the weight? Not me. Dalton arms are awesome and can be tuned well as long as you are close on the base weight.

So just so i know you don't have to bottom the screws out ??? You can put a dab of thread locker on them and put them anywhere in between ????

Blue loctite or set two screws together will lock them in place anywhere in the arms. If they are not going to the end however, I prefer to use blue loctite wether using a set screw or not.

I like that blue loctite stick myslef. Don't be shy with it.

How much are you seeing the XS825 belt reduces RPM's?

A bunch, like 300-400 RPM. It really depends on your setup.
