new sliders on the way By fubar05 (Read 1,078 times)

i read today in post pdi,and saw the pics of the inside of the varator,holy crap,so i took mine off for the 1st time today and sure enough it was exactly the same , i did take pic's and will post them if you want but they are the same as post pdi thread.
and yes that (grease) and i use that word loosely was sticky and had a god aw-full smell,by the way i used a chain type wrench to hold the varator and loosen bolt , came off with Little fuss...whew! ;D.
but as i have full confidence in mr jr,i have decided not to put anything back on till i get my 20x12 12g 8pack from
www.buggypartsnw.com/ then i will seal it all up and test the heck out of it,but i gotta say this even if ya not going to upgrade to sliders ,you just gotta get that thing cleaned out

i just hope i dont loose top end speed by to much,the plus is i might get up some of these hills a little better,and scootdoc trusts www.buggypartsnw.com/ so i will give them a shot as well.

What about 15 or 16 gram sliders? It's already in pieces as you know so I might as well order them. I'm looking for top end not really concerned with the low end that much.

well you have 14g rollers in it,so going with 14 g SLIDERS and becouse of how they work would give some tp end and take off i would think any way!
my sliders are supposed to be here today ,wooo hooo , i went with the 12g just becouse jr did and liked the hill climbing from it ,withought losing top end.

ok i got my sliders today , way to go www.buggypartsnw.com/ as i did not even pay any extra and got them in 2 day's!.
so ... i put them in closed her up and did a real good test and....passed big time !the throttle response is soooo much better,
i took betty blue for a hill climb on one that has always erked me becouse i would lose about 8 to 9 mph before i got half way up, this did not happen i did lose 1 to 2 mph but was at less rpm's as well ,which i really dont understand, but am happy with any way
wasn't i supposed to gain rpm's when going to a smaller waight?
also sure enough i did not suffer any top end loss ...sweeet!
