I am currently running two different weights of sliders in my scoot but was wondering peoples thoughts about the pros and cons of running all the same weights versus mixed weights.

So, mixing two slider weights makes the effective slider weight the average of the two?

Rollers may benefit from mixed weights, lots of discussions about pros and cons. Sliders will not due to their design.

I have had 2 scoots, exact in every aspect except weights/rollers. I feel that mixing weights does not in fact "even out" or "average." Had a scoot with all 8g weights, and another with 7.5 and 8.5 (which would have a mean value of 8g) and found it does NOT perform the same. While the theory works in math, I feel the math is too simplified and we are still missing some factors in the equation, or maybe just I am the only one who feels this way. Averaged weights do not have the same acceleration rate, but do have the same top speeds which is why I think people think averaged weights are worthwhile. I feel during acceleration the heavier weights push out faster than the lighter weights and this is what causes the difference in acceleration.
