I was mistaken about the results, my bad. He lead most of the race until a marshall accidentally flamed him out.

Anyhow, Cory did TQ with his Go Tech 5 port over several other sponsored team drivers in buggy. He borrowed an OS .28 for his truggy since he doesn't have a GO Tech for it yet. Regardless, the guy can drive against the best in the USA and he's loving his GO 5 port!

Ok. Thanks Griz.

Good video's by the way. Always a joy to watch!

Ok, I am trying to decide which go to get. I am going ot put it in a Muggy, I am trying to decide between the .21 or the .25. I want a .21 for fuel economy but I am not sure if they will have enough power to move the muggy well. I currently listed my WS7II on ebay so I have a couple days to decide. From what I got told over and over and over again, the WS7 doesn't have any low end. The muggy has the 8ight T rims and tires on it so they are much smaller then stock. What do you guys suggest. I never tried the ws7 on the muggy, I am waiting on my 1 piece motor mount and some warm weather. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance,
Craig

Get the 5 port .21 engine. I just broke-in my 5 port and it has tons of torque(low end). You will not be disappointed with the 5 port.

Sweet, thanks a lot. I have been doing some thinking and now I need to decide if I want to get a Go Tech or if I should buy the thunder tiger st-1 from amain lol. The Muggy will probably be a sweet racer though, it looks indestructible though so I will probably get the Go Tech.

That's prety cool although the engine has large fin area so it doesn't surprise me.

Thanks Justin

The heads are also thicker on the bottom now, this should extract heat better as well at the bottom up through the head. Also makes it more durable.

Last night I got to see a GO 3 port, just the standard with the blue head, but even so, it looked like a great motor. And it only cost $115. The new R-Spec 3 port should be amazing.

Thats interesting Muganb46. Does that make the Go engines much heavier then other engines around?

Hey Menace,

it does not make them any heavier as they have also tapered the head in at the top, effectively what they have done is lower the centre of gravity aswell as increase the heat transfer from the crankcase to the head
