If you have any questions about the GO motors, be sure to ask Jason Halvorson in the GO Engines Thread here on RC tech. He is a wizard when it comes to these engines. Plus the main distributor checks the thread just about everyday.
The Mach engines are fantastic. I have 13 gallons on mine with NO pinch, resleeve, air leaks. But I have started to notice the performance not as crisp. So I'm going to put in a new piston/sleeve and hope for another 13 gallons. LOL. But I also need new bearings and to check the condition of the crank pin. I will probably always keep a Mach on hand for my truggy. It is a very good engine, and from what some have told me, the Mach does well with modifying the sleeve a little. I've never done it to mine though. In stock form the Mach tunes easily, tons of grunt, and durable. The price is waaayy low for what you get. So don't let the price keep you away. Plus it has stood up to all the abuse I could throw at it. It was my first big block engine to own and when I didn't have the needles set right, it would let you know, and tuning was easy. I would not put a torque pipe with this engine though. Too much punch and it will limit the top end slightly. Use a mid pipe or high pipe. Performance will be better throughout the whole range. I use the JP-3 on mine. The JP-1 was ridiculous. Tires wouldn't stop spinning--EVER!!
I haven't seen the AXE engines in person, so I can't comment there. I do have interest in trying one someday.

I've been running a 7pt turbo in my 8T and love it I've got about 8-10 gallons on it and its still on the original parts, bearings, rod etc
the Hong Nor or GO 2047 pipe seems to be the best combo I've found so far
can't see it being a problem running in 30+ temps as long as you have the right plug and tune
start off with a novarossi #6 plug if you go for the turbo and you should be fine
performance wise the 7pt has a tone of top end and has good bottom end but not as good as the 5pt and they both have more than enough grunt to through an 8T around a track

What seems to be one of the better brake upgrades for these trucks? My faded like crazy throughout the day today and I was quite disappointed. They are new but just the stock Losi parts. I'd like to upgrade to something better.

They are adjusted properly. I'm not the only one that seems to think the stock brakes suck. I talked with a local Losi driver that pretty much races every weekend and he said he had a lot of brake fade over time and had to change the brakes too (I didn't get the chance to ask him what he is using though). They work great for the first 10 minutes but after that it starts fading.
