hi, i am new to racing too. i was thinking of getting one of these motors. which one should i get?? i am running on a small indoor track with bigger than most jumps. i have a 427 in my truggy now. i was thinking of the GO .21 3 ports. is that a good motor?? i like the price

What truggy do you run?
The .21 5 port has heaps of torque down low so that would probably suit your track lay out.
I have seen the .21 3 port Pro in a RC8T and it was impressive.
As long as your truggy isnt too heavy the 3 port pro would probably do the job.

yea the 3 port race or 5 port will suit you good coupled w/ a 086 or 0801 pipe!!!

I say go with the 5 port. That engine is awesome in truggy and has great run time.

i would say 5 port or 3 port race would due great with 0801 pipe very good and smooth thru power band

yes i have i was going to order some once i get some more cash so can give them a try they look good !!!!

my foams are still alittle week compared to when new and i checked for water and nothing but there not like destroyed foams they just gotten alittle soft on me thnx again let me know how you like wides this weekend

here is my buggy with the strikers on it and my newly painted body by Brujeria Custom GraphixXx

Will, Nice ride bro Love that paint job too !!

what about the .28 3-port sport??? is that a good engine?? I have a x1 truggy

Hey guys, i was at eb mods shop for a couple hours today picking up some goodies for my speed motor. On the dyno was a 5p go motor that ed has been playing with. All i can say is wow! I'm gonna have to put my speed motor to rest when the new eb mods go techs come out. Not my place to give details but i will say what a heluva dyno graph. Laid shame to ninja jx & speed motor on the dyno from one end to the other. I wasn't a go motor fan cuz my head still bleeding from trying to adjust those carbs on my friends motors.

Save a few extra $$ and get the GO 5PT, I made the mistake of buying an engine too soon I got the GO 3P R Spec Gen 4, I was disappointed with the results. The 5PT has similar power to the NR 5PT series of engines. The GO 5PT will offer much better punch which to me is very important.

The 3PR offers liner power but not in the rage of OS VSpecs or the NR range of engines, but the GO 5 PT will offer similar power bands to OS Vspec and NR 5PT engines.

I would disagree with getting a 5 port as your first engine. The 3 port sport will break in easier and run just as long. It will not have the power of the 5 port but if you are new you will probably drive better with less power. Also people starting out sometime have trouble getting dirt in an engine or not getting it tuned right and can ruin an engine. Atleast you aren't out as much if you bought the sport. With a little modding the sport is a very good engine, I have one I modded that runs right with a 5 port.

The Go 5 Ports modded give the most power of all the Go range (according to Massive Mods Australia). When fully run in they won't get left behind by many motors out there. On the Massive Mods Stage 5 and Stage 6 mods the HP specs are right up there, along with nice power band and economy.
Tuning with the long LSN is not really a problem. Check out the tuning tips on page 131 of this thread from Massive Mods and Retro RC. If you follow this advice you will get the max performance out of the Go motors.

hey rex, which one do you think i should go with?? right now i am running a modded 427, but it is dying. i was thinking of the .21 b/c of the fuel econmy but the .28 probably has more power. i am talking about the sport ones by-the-way. i will be putting it in a jammin' x1 truggy. what are your prices on those motors??

consider the .25 for a truggy. ton of low end power and mileage like the .21

If your running a Truggy then the .25 is awesome! There are people running high end .21's that are considering switching to the .25.
Here's a link to my son running his .25 (Kendall) You have to watch a little for the race.
