NO, they do not have one at this time.

I would be hesitant and pretty much refuse to buy GO's offf of ebay, this guy is not a dealer and the motors are not from Russell, they are from another country's dist, and is pretty much breaking Dist aggreements in the US, as people have seen that have gotten them from ebay the first thing they say is the side of the motor loks like they ground the code numbers off, Well they do, to HIDE the origen of the motor. This is wrong for one, and it only shows the taste of the person selling them. Russell at RaceFactor is the US Dist, and he sells to all the big online stores in the US, and PTM. If you can't find them in stock, then they are most likely having the order sent to them to restock, ANY GO ENGINES OFF EBAY, DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RACEFACTOR CONTINGENCY PROGRAM.

RB-Mod GO .25 brand new
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am selling a brand new, never installed in a car, GO .25 modified by RB-mods. Rick did the full team mod on the engine and replaced the rear bearing with a TKO ceramic bearing. This engine should be a beast. Want $255.00 shipped. I will ship to anywhere in the US on my dime. If you are interested please PM me.

Thanks,
Tim

I agree with Brian for the sake of saving 20 bucks and have absolutely no after sales service or warranty... Eh

besides these engines are gen 2 .. 2006 run out models . They have the old carb, gen 2 crank, old piston sleeve fit that took a gazillion starter boxes to run
in .. Not worth it IMO ..

Good after sales service is worth its weight in gold :)

I bought a go 7 port from that guy paid $178 with shipping when I got it it was in a sealed bag and it did have the serial numbers on it. I wont be buying another one from him though thats for sure. That it was a good deal but aparently not.....

What plug(s) would you recommend for a new .21 7 port.

Thanks

I have had good luck wityh the OS turbo and short standards, i was going to try some odonnells but have some different plugs on the way, after testing i will be sure to post my thoughts on them, try this set up for the 7 port.

Turbo-OS P3 for breakin, P3 or P6 for raceing depending on the air

Standard, OS A3 for breakin and race

Try the 053 for that motor if you don't have one, it works well with it, and is easy to tune with that pipe, and runtime is pretty good.

I thought these Go engines used a Novarossi plug taper ?

Brian, you said "any Go engine bought off of ebay does not qualify for the contigency program?"

Luis Vazquez owns RCLOVERZ.com and is PBLOVERZ on ebay. He is an authorized Go dealer. It states this on the Race Factor Industries website. When I bought my engines from him they came directly from Race Factor in Arizona with a letter from Russell.:nod:

5 port turbo.

petevette 03-14-2008 06:53 PM

Definitely a 5 port. Any clutch aluminum clutch will work well as long as it is in good shape. Make sure the shoes aren't mushroomed.

nitro0619 03-15-2008 05:37 PM

just got my 5 port broke in on my 5T and so far i like it. using P3 plug and an 053 pipe with tilted green 30% fuel. just picked up a new 3port r engine for the buggy too. will the p3 plugs and 053 pipe work well on this too? and do i need to add the shim included w/ the engine for breakin? my 5 port didnt have an extra shim in the box:confused: i have a jp3 pipe too would this work better on one of the two engines??

JustinD 03-15-2008 05:55 PM

5 port isnt much different the the 3 so you can use the same things the 3 port is newer so it now includes a shim it will make it alot easier to break in.Same as you I have the 5 port and have the new 3 port in the box.
