Try softing up the rear spring.(more sit in) Also set the limiter strap to 4 and 4.

These things are terrible out of the hole, but work so good in the chatter that you really want them to work well everywhere else.

The coupler block is the guy that controls the coupling, thus also weight transfer. The more travel it has in that slot, the more transfer is available. It's possible to cut up to about 7/16" off the end closest to the rear axle. That will yield that much more travel in the slot, leave you with more transfer, and a better holeshot. The down side is the amount of bearing area then available for the blocks to do their normal job. Bottom line is you'll need to replace them more often.

Don't remember the hole numbering on the straps, but would discourage anything that might shorten it. You are effectively shortening the available suspension travel when you do that, and I don't think you bought the M-10 wanting less of that.

If anything else, you could try tightening the middle spring. That will help to some extent, but could lead to the front end pushing in the corners....

Yea i totally bought the m-10 for the comfort factor. I will try tightening the front shock i read thet in a magazine to give alittle more downforce. I love the way it rides but on a mach z it alot more fun to blow your buddies off the line and down the field than let them get ahead then fly by later. well that can be cool too anyway thanks for the info i dont think i will do any shaving on the transfer blocks.

Thanks

snowguy.you can make that thing transfer better than most sleds if you weigh enough.With the suspension set fairly soft all you have to do is get your weight as far back as you can and push down on the rear of the sled when you take off.It will completely collapse the rear suspension and hook up better than most sleds.It will bottom out on the stops and stay there until you get rolling for a bit.Looks funny because the tunnel will be almost touching the ground.Just be careful of hitting bumps in this position because it is completely bottomed.
