sliders are 'sposed to give you 20% faster take off and better hill climbing .
manufacture's statement...
"sliding rollers perform up to 20% better than standard round weights and last up to 18% longer with 22% less performance material loss"
if your tuning your variator start with a tuning set of rollers( 3 sets)
zero in and then buy the sliders
thats cheaper than buying 3 sets of sliders .
