7 port= poor low end, screamer on top end. Best for big tracks?

Just trying to dumb down the understanding of this.....




i think a 5 port is the best for, a large outdoor offroad track just enough power without too much power.


and yes a 3 port is really good on a small tech track, but you can get it to run pretty good on, a large track you just have to gear up.

i dont know about a 4 port.
