Need more bottom end from my 3 port R.
I have good mileage but need more power.
It's great at the top end...managed to pass an OS speed in the straight at the last race:p:p:p and he went into it sooner than me!!!!!!!:D:D:sneaky::sneaky:
I'm using 2047 and jp-1 wxhaust.
Mugen carbon shoes with 1 or 1.1mm springs

With the 1.1 is better but you have to wait for the midrange to pick up in order to get going fast.

spec 3
 
Im having the same issue with my 3 port spec R, it has a weak bottom. It has about 1.5 gallons thrue it and i cant seem to get the bottom to come alive. Just like he said, right when the midrange kicks in it takes off like a bat outa hell and has a screaming top end. I have the clutch set-up for more bottom, I have ran an 086, jp-3, and an 053 for pipes. The 053 had the most grunt, but it still was nothing like my 5 port or my sport 3 port. It runs good, at my last race, no flames in three 6 min quals and a 35 min main. It also like to run a little cooler than I like, but it still has quite a bit of pinch so that mite change. Im going to throw a nova carb on it today and see how it likes that. I know they changed the crank on these motors for a smoother bottom, so maybe thats it. Are you guys running the spec 3 port motor experiencing a weaker bottom on these motors???

I posted a question a few pages back abouy my 5 port and got some anwsers but I still wonder about my high speed needle. Most say flush with top of barrel but mine is 2 1/2 turns in 3 turns out from bottomed out. The motor is running pretty good If I put mine flush it will be 5 1/2 turns from bottomed out and I don't think it would even run. What I wonder is were there some diffrent top needle assemblys used on these motors? My motor is about 6 months old I think it has the updated carb it's plastic anyway. Just want to make sure i'm not missing anything here.

seems like all my GOs are in a little bit from flush, but as long as your engine is running well, blowing smoke, and not flaming out just keep running that bad boy. 2 of the same engines can have totally different needle settings.

I got smoked by an OS Speed down the straight, but I was using a 12t clutch bell.

Go 3 port R spec and 3 Port Sport?
 
I am interested in trying out a Go 3 Port R spec and a 3 Port Sport.

I was thinking about running the 3 Port Sport on a smaller indoor track and the R spec on larger outdoor tracks. How is the powerband on the 3 port Spec? I would plan on running a Dynamite 086 pipe on both engines? Is this pipe OK?

Could I use a carb from Novarossi P5XS on either engine? Would this carb be a good upgrade?

If I ran the Sport, is it a good idea to change to a Turbo button? If I stay with the stock button, what is a good glowplug to use?

i was considering purchasing a go tech motor but i am not sure what would be the best or ideal buggy motor. if it helps any, my local track in AZ is the nitro pit. i was looking and saw allot of people said that the 5 port has allot of bottom end and the 7 is a little calmer. but i just saw that they just came out with a new 3 port. if anyone could easily let me know what would be the best or ideal motor and pipe combo i saw that alot of people were using the 086 and i believe 053 pipes. the jp-3 pipe calms down the 5 ports bottom end? not sure but if anyone could lead me in the right direction. thanks

I have the PTM 5 port in my truggy and the 7 port in my buggy. I think I should swap them. The 7 port has spoiled me so I may just get another one :)

Hey guys, if you havew the newest batch of race 3 ports check the internals, they are revised compared to the first run, they are getting very v-specish.

nova carbs will work in the GO engines, as well as oS v spec carbs, the v spec feels more like the GO carb, the Nova feel more punchy on bottom, like the old GO carb.

My settings on my race 3 port are 1 turn in on top from flush, and at least 3 turns in on bottom, if i run 1.1 at all it's over. i use a Dynamite 086 and Tilted 30%, and 22 thous squish, and the same carb that it came with. over 6 gallons.

I just put the 7-port in my ZX1-R and it RIPS!!! I am thinking putting another 7-port in my truggy I like it so much.

Are there any aftermarket heads that will fit Go's?

mugenb46 05-13-2008 07:41 PM

B-Mods, Nova R/C, king Headz a main has alot of them, if it fits a P5 it will fit the GO

brianr34 05-13-2008 07:55 PM

I see Amain now handles the Go 3 Port R spec. Does anyone know if this is the latest version of the R spec?
