Some people say sliders, & others say rollers. The big thing is to decide if you need speed or Torque or even a little of both! and go from there. There are those who combine different sizes to get the best of both!

Oh yea, welcome to the forum!!!

buggydadCt 08-29-2014 09:56 PM

Thank you bear...

I use 12g sliders those are about equal to 10g rollers on low end. and equal to 14g rollers on top end. Sliders give you about a 2g difference on both ends.
You can go down to 11g sliders without losing top end. Here is a vid I found a while back that lets you see the difference.
The best bang for your buck would be a cam upgrade. Cheap and easy to do.

I found this video a while back...

Wow! I learned quite a bit from that. I didn't really know the difference between the two. LOL. So heavier rollers/sliders = slower gear change/holding gear longer?

Heavier equals slower acceleration with higher top speed.
Lighter equals faster acceleration lower top speed.

Thank you so much bro I finally understand the concept of it and can design accordingly... The rollers that are in it now I'm not sure the size but I would like a little more torque out of it it does pull my boat trailer a nd flat bottom jon boat no problem.... But I'm not sure with all the camping gear and everything in the boat so I can do camping expeditions with the family I would like just a little bit more torque I think... I also think I'm going to pick up this old Honda Odyssey frame I saw down the road and maybe put a four wheeler motor in it for dad to play.....lol

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 03:01 PM

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 03:02 PM

You can always weigh one to find out...., but I think 14 grams is around stock roller weight.

bear 08-30-2014 05:26 PM

I've heard that a good combo is to alternate 12&9's for the best of both worlds, has anyone tried this out yet?

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 07:09 PM

I'm thinking I might try that out...... I'll try it with all one weight first then all the second wait and then I'll make some and see if it's somewhere in the middle.... Me and my sons just finished putting a snorkel on the kinroad.... ...lol.. I'm going to seal off the bottom of the motor with sheet metal and then I think she's ready for some serious mudding.... ill put some picks up of the snorkle soon

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 07:15 PM

I'm going to try and get the pics up... I took a 110 CC 4 wheeler and welded it go kart frame to the top of it so you sat on a go cart with 20 inch murders below you thing was awesome motor was in the middle of your legs. ..... I build all sorts of crazy **** in my free time.. The kids love it....

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 08:39 PM

Alright I put some pictures up I don't have a clue why some uploaded upside down kind of funny

buggydadCt 08-30-2014 08:39 PM

I'm going to wait to put pictures up of the amphibious vehicle.. Until the project is a little farther along

bear 08-31-2014 12:29 PM

Dr. Frankenstien, I presume!!!

buggydadCt 09-01-2014 07:07 AM

buggydadCt 09-02-2014 02:33 PM
