Just switched from stock on my 170i to 12 gram sliders from Dr Pulley and am not super impressed. I think I lost acceleration but maybe gained a little top speed. The acceleration is more linear.
I ordered some 10 grams rollers off eBay today and will report back when I install them. Acceleration is more important for me than top speed these days.
Anyway, what weight are you running in your scoot? How do you like them?
What weight variator sliders / rollers are you using?

As I recall, I have half and half, maybe 12 & 14 sliders, staggered.personality wrote:Just switched from stock on my 170i to 12 gram sliders from Dr Pulley and am not super impressed. I think I lost acceleration but maybe gained a little top speed.

But, I also have a stiffer counterspring.

Test one: all dr. pulley 12g sliders
Impressions: Linear acceleration, but slower off the line than stock rollers
Top speed in the low-60's
Test two: 3 12g dr. pulley sliders & 3 10g rollers
Impressions: Fairly linear acceleration until around 40mph, when it suddenly feels like it drops into the power band and pulls well into the 50's (I want to achieve this but at lower speeds, like pulling like this starting at 10mph, and will sacrifice top speed to get there)
Top speed in the low-60's
Test three: All 10g rollers
Impressions: Hard to really say? I think it accelerates a little better at low speeds, but isn't super impressive off the line like through an intersection. Acceleration definitely feels smooth and linear, no really gaps or jumps.
Top speed achieved was around an indicated 60mph
FWIW, I'm 225lbs, so I'm not winning any top speed contests.
