Default 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

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 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.

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.

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 i have a jp3 pipe too would this work better on one of the two engines??

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.
