Put new setup into my apex ltx running 135 studs in/out good low end but mid to top over revin around 70 or so its at 11000 and runs up to 11200 to top what is the best place to start OD or tip have weight in both Ideas? Thanks Mark only ran 91 in 1000 ft today ice wasn't perfect and traction was a issue how much will my rpms be affected from glare ice to trail conditions ie hardpack not much I would think across lake only saw 104gps tops and was tacking 11200 ideas??

Actually getting tired of testing this setup. Lots of combinations work well. What I found is you can run overdrive weight but if you don't have more tip weight it will start slipping the belt on top. Got a good setup with the stock primary. The white hc spring worked very well but unless you had perfect hardpack it just would not hook up good enough. And trust me I have plenty traction. Also have been trying diffferent stock combinations. The stock setup with inner rivet removed and a going to 47/43 helix is very strong will so some testing this weekend up in the up. If anybody has any questions will be happy to help. Thanks Woodysattack

These are great weights if you are a drag racer or have optimum traction to complement torque of these sleds.

Has anyone played around with using different helix angles like a straight 47 or 45? Or has the stock helix been giving the best performance so far?
