Comet speed limiting weights?

Anyone use them? My son recently got a Trail Master and I regeared it with 8/50 sprockets to slow it down a bit. Still feel like it is too fast, but pushing the throttle stop screw in any further kills the take off. I have some spare weights around and was thinking about threading them like the Comets.

Got me thinking that they might work well in a high RPM motor to lockout overdrive. I know some use bushings, but that allows the weights to keep pushing out and jamb themselves between the sheaves, whereas the locknuts would prevent this, providing the threaded portion doesn't snap off from the force.
