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!

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.

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

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

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?

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
