I have used Heavy Hitters with excellent results for two seasons now. I ride from 3-6,000 feet and I am using: 62.7 grams
3/4" and 1/4" Allen bolts in the heel
7/16" steel bolt and two thin steel washers in the mid
7/16" steel and one thin washer in the tip (sometimes I pull out the washer and drop the weight to 62.3 grams depending in elevation)
I use a Yamaha O/S/O with two engagement shims with 15mm rollers in the primary
In the secondary I use a Yamaha silver at 80 degrees with a Dalton 54/42 progressive helix.
My question is:
Would I be better off taking some of the weight from the heel of the Heavy Hitters and putting it in the mid positon?
I noticed the sled is a lot more "playful" feeling the lighter the weight in the heel happens to be.

How are your rpm,s now. I got my best performance at around 10,200 rpm. If your in the sweet spot & sled backshifts fine in deep snow don,t mess it up.

Turk, it's nice to hear from you again.
I am using Freddie's filters so I understand the proper target RPM becomes 10,500 once you go to filters?
My RPMs are right at 10,400 at 5,000 feet and about 10,600 at 3,000 feet. I don't think I can get any better with my RPMs but I do wonder if I could make the sled more "fun" if I lightened the heel and added the appropriate amount of weight to the mid hole to get my RPMs back to where they are now?
I am only talking about dropping the 1/4" allen bolt out of the heel and adding that weight to the mid. What do you think?
I might just try it but does it hurt the hole shot?

You will lose low end belt grab & groove your clutch faces by removing heel weight . If rpm,s are good & backshift is acceptable you might want to remove 1 gram from the tip to give it a zippier(alltho it will be slower) feeling.

Turk, it's that dang mountain air strip at 3,000 feet that makes me clutch the way I do. That is where legends are made or lost and I want to be on top of my game.
As you know, RX-1s like all the tip weight they can pull thrown at them. I pulled one thin steel washer off the tip and I can already see I lost some top end.
Thanks for the help. I respect your opinions.
