R/C Tech Forums - Go-Tech Engines Thread

I have a question I currently run a JPX.21 jammin in my Losi 8 buggy my son is in the market for a new mill for his Losi I am extremely happy with my JPX.21 but I have been hearing great things about the GO engines. Which GO engine is close or pretty much the same as a JPX? and how much does it cost? he really wants ninja like power are there any GO's that are affordable and reliable like them? if so we will buy one Thanks.

Yes Go does offer a engine comparable to the ninja. The new EB M5 that will be released later his month. check it out http://ebmods.com/

rc racer a standard go 5 port would probably be everything you are looking for. they also seem to suit the losi buggies very well

I rebuild and pinch motors and the Os motors (Jpx included) usually loose their pinch sooner than Go on italian motors. The crank on the Jpx is awesome though, they have a great coating on it. Go is coming out with coated cranks soon.

Sounds great I will go with the GO 5 port turbo head. is there a certain turbo plub that the 5 port likes better than others? I know on my JPX I only use one ofna plug Thanks.

i think he was saying he runs a Jammin JPX and was looking into a ninja JX, but likes the idea of a GO... yes the standard 5 port would be equivalent to a engine like the Ofna JPX... But as far as the ninja JX, the GO equivalence would be the EB M5. confusing jpx, jx lol

I would have to disagree with you on that Jo the standard Go 5port turbo is a pretty good match for the JX ninja but if you really want to leave it for dead the EB M5 or the MM G66 would be the choice for me

I agree Adrian... i wasn't comparing power. i was talking equivalence... filled, coated crank, carb, ect... There is no doubt that having coated parts is a major benefit then it comes to reliability, and longevity. ;)

as for reliability I've got a gen 1 7 port thats done over 50ltrs on it's original piston and liner and has only just got to where i would call unaceptable compressionand I've only changed the bearings and rod once- in january at about 35-40 lts this was a test motor and we still haven't been able to kill it properly

here's MM G66 by the way the price is in AUS dollars
