So I am getting ready to put my PTM 5 port in my D8 and im thinking about what restrictor I am going to use. I have the GO set so for shure I am gong 6.5 but that might still be too big or I should say I may want to go smaller. I was running it with the 7.5 in a 10 pound truggy last year.

Does anyone know of a UK site that sells the Dynamite 053 As I have looked for ages, and cant seem to find anywhere really??

don't you need an efra approved pipe anyway for UK racing?....

Yea, that's true.. Im only currently doing local club racing.. but if I was to do more I would yea.. that is true. Another thing to think about..

seems daft to buy a pipe now that you can't use later if you want to race outside your club...there is a GO 2047 above for sale...I race with that pipe and it rocks....

Yea, but by that time if I was to do more serious racing I would get a new engine. When my Go eventually dies. But I see your point, but I will keep looking but I wont be doing and major events.. for a while yet. As I have only really just started racing. But I do agree.. If I get a pipe would be next month.. so I have time to scout around.. I like the Jp-3 But that isnt EFRA legal dont think...

you need anything that numbered in the 2000's or the new 3000's.ie the 2047 by Hong Nor or GO..they are the same..HN also make a newer pipe 2062 that I've heard very good things about..steven at special RC on ebay usually has both for reasonable prices and his shipping is very cheap and fast from taiwan..or the last page here on this forum someone was saying they are selling a GO 2047 that has only done 2 races..didn't look how much but I bet it will be a good price..

for special rc look here http://cgi.ebay.fr/GO-EFRA-2047-pipe...QQcmdZViewItem

or here http://cgi.ebay.fr/Hong-Nor-NEW-EFRA...QQcmdZViewItem

just checked his writeups and the 2062 is the same as a jp4..not tried either..just the 2047..and I can also add that the hard chrome finish lasts well...my pipe has done 2 full seasons and still looks new!

ps if you do buy from steven do yourself a favour and buy one of the VP pro high downforce wings at the same time..I ran one last season and just couldn't bend it..it looks like it's been in a scrap with a cheese grater but it is still flat and true..the kyosho standard ones bend downwards after about 2 rolls....

I have a losi 8t race roller looking for a motor... would the 26-6 pt be enuff or would the 28-6pt be better...it sounds like GO is a pretty good motor from this post..... thanks

pipe recomendations
 

hey mark there are several pages on here in regards to pipe choices or you could have just posted and someone would have responded I'm sure, anyway

the 086 is a top end pipe and the 053 is a bottom end pipe and yes you would notice the difference.

the 7prt may feel a little soft on the bottom end on a tight or short track using the 086 but the runtime will be better than the 053.

My favourite pipe combo is still the 2047 for the 7port and if you can pair it up with a long header even better (hey grizz I think I should start charging you royalty fee for this combo:lol:) the TTR or AE 2035 is also another good pipe on the 7pt but the run time is less than the 2047

the 0801 is another good pipe that seems to suit all the Go range reasonably well but the are a little soft and dent easily

so basically for the 7pt my picks are
1. Go or Hong nor 2047 (with long header even better)
2.TTR or AE 2035
3= GO 0801 and 053 the 0801 has slightly better run time of the 2

please remember these are just my picks as performance can change depending on the track surace, fuel clutch, etc

Adrian:tire:

the 25 would be more than enough I used to run a 21-7pt in a 8T and it was plenty

and the 25 gets way better run time than the 28

Adrian:D

Thanks for the help

Hey Adrian. Yeah, the cats out of the bag on that one now :D All you 2047 long header converts, this was Retro´s secret weapon until I blabbed on the forum :rolleyes: It only seemed fair to share it with our GO brothers in arms.
CU at Hamilton next Sunday :)

You gotta take time and read back over the forums bro. I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at how many times the "which pipe" question, or the "what is the difference between the 3, 5, 7 Port" question etc pop up and are answered in full.
Jamiekerr14 asked the same question within the last two weeks, so the answer was right there all the time :)

Hey Jamiekerr14 - You won't need to get a "new" motor when you get more serious. The GO will give you all the power you can handle, and will last a long, long time if looked after :cool:

noticed that carb got a leak (3r),i went n checked through it n i believe the seal (o-ring) on the carb n crankcase is worn,i checked amainhbbs n theres nothing parts available,pls. can someone tell me where to buy this o-ring,thks for your help .................my 3r is going to 6 gals. n m very happy with it

Both upper and lower carb O rings are on A-Main

The carb on the 3RSpec is the same as the 5 and 7 Ports.
If you replace the upper O ring (black one) it might pay to do the lower crankcase (brown one) as well. These lower O rings can get a little bit chewed up with any slight sideways movement of the carb, and can end up dropping little shreds of rubber into your crankcase :eek:
For a couple of dollars it´s good insurance to change both :)
