I searched the forum for this information and did not find it.
I looked at the rollers in my Reaction 150 and found that all had 1 or 2 flat spots. So I might as well get sliders. Question is, if I have 10 gram rollers, what weight sliders should I get? I don't want to go heavier or lighter, want the same weight. Happy with the performance now. I have heard 2 gms heavier and I have heard 2 gms lighter. Depending on you guys for the right answer.
Thanks Buddies,

Well....you are kinda right. 2 gram heavier will act like 2 grams lighter. HUH? No wait! Or is it....2 gram lighter acts like 2 gram heavier. Just kidding.
As a rule a thumb your 10 grams rollers are equivalent to 8 gram sliders.
So to switch my 9 gram rollers to sliders I would have to find 7 gram sliders? Do they even make them?

I've always read on here that it is the other way around. 10 gram sliders are equivalent to 8 gram rollers. Of course I've no experience with sliders myself, I've always found rollers to work fine.

I called Eric at Mcdonoughmotorsports and he told me I would need 12 gm sliders to replace my 10 gm rollers. He's the man so I ordered some sliders from him.
Mystery solved and yet another question answered. _________________ ALZWEL (Frank)

the sliders help retain some top speed while giving more bottom end power. they also dont wear like rollers do, so they can last longer _________________ Blade buggies,Carter buggy's, ams (manco) , joyner, parts for almost anything
