M-10 weight transfer

[Turtle]

A friend of mine has a Polaris Classic (poor bastard!) with the M-10 suspension in it, and complains that he cannot get enough weight transfer with his sled.

I tried searching around here to see if there's any info, but I can't find a straight answer.

Can you, or can you not adjust weight transfer on the M-10 suspension?

I have heard that there are different transfer blocks available for them, BUT, their natural tendency is that they are the WORST suspension for weight transfer among EVERYTHING. Not to mention that that poo classic just doesn't have the balance or the power to use it if it was available.

Look at the rear arm - you see that the bottom end of it is in a slot. To increase weight transfer, it needs to slide further (down/back) than what it is currently permitted.

Get transfer blocks for M-16 and it will help. Only think is I do not know if they fit the Polaris variation of the M-10.

So how do you get it to slide further down? Is there an adjustment, or is it something that you have to modify?

If you want to experiment you could grind off some of the stock blocks.

Take 1/4 inch off the stock blocks with the most amount of sit as you can. I have a few sets of block that you can play with since I dont have a m-10 any more I could sell them to ya.
