HSN Flush
LSN 2 turns in from flush

Justin, i ran Garretts motor in for 10 tanks, after that i put a concervitive race tune on with foil on the head, still very fat and lots of smoke all the way through the pull, no tight pinging durung running=long lasting rod and sleeve, i would lean it out more if it's only 210 with foil, that temp is kind of defeating the purpose, you hear guys running them at 250 durung the 1st gallon but being easy with throttle inputes, just my 2 cents bud

Gewaun, that setting will give a great idle during breakin, and adjust the hsn so it will stay at 200 or abouve with out a heat gun, and then keep the heat on it, and use foil. I posted my breakin methode a few pages back your welcome to look at it, i do all my GO's this way. Good luck

Yeah we heat it up to 200 before we start it maybe the tilted just makes it run cool and create so much power.

the base settings for the three port R-spec are

topend 3.25-3.5 out from fully in

bottom 1 turn in from flush

you may find these are a tad rich on the bottom so try 2 from flush on the bottom

I've got about 15 tanks through mine so far and I still can only just turn it over by hand when it's out of the buggy so take your time

at 15 tanks I'm at 2.75 from fully in on top and 1.5 from flush on the bottom still heaps of smoke through the range running about 230-245

hope that helps

Default Go .25 6 Port by RB MODS

I bought a modified .25 6 port from Rick Brake at RB MODS that is an incredible engine. I have always run NovaRossi engines with excellent results. After speaking with Rick I decided to give the GO-Tech a try. This motor makes the best useable power that I have seen in several years and is very easy on fuel consumption. And the price was half of what a NovaRossi would have set me back. If you are looking for a great engine for your 1/8 scale giv e Rick a call. See rbmods.net

did it lean bog before you wrecked lol ? the motor is still way to fresh to be leaning it out that much bud, it's still very new, remember 10 tanks is just enough to get her on the ground and running it, not race tune.

ok, pull the foil off and run it that way when you can, your outside temp is relativley warmer there it seems. The motor should be fine as long as it didn't get that way for a long period of time, and double check your tank and fuel lines. let me know how it goes.

Sounds like you might want to check your clutch and drivetrain, somethings gotta be binding to jump up to 370.....or like Brian said check you fuel lines. I had a pressure line tear and the temps went through the roof....
