Recommended clutch weight for 2016 Axys with SLP Pipe & Can at 10,000

I ran those weights last year on a 16 163x3" with the SLP pipe, used the stock springs and stock helix. I like those weight for the tune-ability on the hill. Its nice to be able to quickly add or remove weight from the primary.
The issue I had was the 60gram base weight is too light in the tip, even when fully loaded. I was riding 8-10,000 ft and had them loaded to 69 grams... sled pulled like crazy on the bottom end, and then would over rev on the top end 86-8700.
Switched to 10-68 polaris weights and still pulled great down low but would only turn 79-8100. Switched to 10-66 weights and it was perfect all the way through, 8350 on the top end (which is what you want with the pipe.
The do offer a 65 or 66 gram base weight and thats what I would buy if I tried them again. FYI, cutler performance sells a weight exactly like that dalton weight for less money.
You might be able to make those weights work matched to a different helix, I did try a couple other helixes but never found the right combo.
good luck. Eric
Depending on your spring, I'd guess about 65.5 g?
I'm at 67.7 @ 7000' with a 120/340 primary spring.

Erik,
Thanks for your advise. I did actually buy Cutlers weights as I thought they looked identical to Dalton's and I like Dale. He's a good guy. I will give 66 a shot and see how it goes that is if we ever get snow.
Once again, Thank you for your input.

Do you know the angles on that helix?
The tip set screws can only be adjusted when the weight is removed from the clutch, because it is threaded in from the tip, not the heel. I put the longest set screw as I could in the tip, just to the point where you have 1-2 threads of the set screw sticking out past the end of the weight.
Do you have a gram scale? I'm guessing (depending on that helix) your going to want to start in the 65 range. Is this sled brand new, zero miles? If yes, you will have to keep adding weight as you get some run time on it.

I went with Carls clutch kit. Have always had great results on my sleds in the past with Carls.
Have some custom weights Ron on here made for me quite awhile ago...going to try those as well. Have not heard from him on here in years..had lots of great knowledge on clutching.

So what angle is stamped on the helix ? Belly buster weights?
