Can somebody list here the dealers in Taiwan and Hongkong with an online-shop? I am looking for the go P320SG Gold head engine for a good price.

I don't know of one there but with the current exchange rate it would only cost $142.79 EUR from Massive Mods in Australia

It's well worth the extra dollars to get one of Mark's modified motors - they ROCK big time

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

Yea, I agree.. Its doing well at the moment for me, no reall issues. It has probally had maybe 3 gallons through it. And everyone still says its still super tight.. So cant complain, runs well no issues (Yet!) But when it does die.. I may get another Go-Depends how im feeling at the time lol.. But yea.. next month I may think about getting a new pipe. As im running the stock pipe-No issues..just prefer to have a bette pipe ect.. But not in a real rush, which is nice. thanks for the help guys really appreciate it!

That's a shame! I know Precisionrc.com sell Go-engines but not the one I want. Maybe I can order the engine through them. Anyone tried the Gold head version?
#5572
sure I have a gold head..which is the 7 port..gen 5 engine.mines a massive mods stage 5 job...I'm in france so not so far from you ..all I can say is buy from massivemods...with the exchange rate at the moment you can get a modded motor for the same or less than you would pay for a stock motor here in europe...mines on 2 gallons..10 litres and barely getting into it's stride..
#5573
Yep - the 7 Port (gold head) is wicked in a buggy. It has ample bottom end for any situation or track, plus top end that will blow your socks off 
Standard or modded you will be very pleased with it's performance.
Like Gizmatron states, the MM modified motors are an awesome deal for you with exchange rates as they are. The other plus with the modded motors besides the performance is the extra economy you get.

I finished 3rd in my first Arena Truck race today using a $99 Go 3-port engine. The engine only had a gallon of fuel through it, I broke it in with PowerMaster 25% and today switched to Nitro Juice 30%. The engine ripped, I am impressed how this "cheap" engine can push a Truggy around. Honestly I can't imagine how well the Race 5/7 port engines do, right now the 3-port is enough for our track and my driving ability. I am liking the Go engines though, they seem to hold their tune well, even switching fuels had no real effect on it, we just did some tweaks in the morning warm-up that worked out well for the rest of the day.
What do you lot think of the Go Technology .25 6 Port Race Engine for Truggy use? Too much? Stick with a .21?
How would a .21 5/7 port race stack up in comparison to the .25 standard? Not sure if I should stay the course with .21 race engines or look at something with more displacement.
I am just looking forward right now, not planning on changing out the Go .21 3-port sport any time soon.
Edit.. another reason I ask about the .25 is that it's fairly cheap by comparison.

As far as a .21 5 Port vs standard .25 motor - the GO 5 Port with 086 or 0801 pipe should dust the standard motor, and give much better economy to boot.
I ran the 5 Port in a truggy and it was plenty powerful enough. General rule of thumb - 5 Port truggy (big bottom end power), 7 Port buggy (mid to top end power, but a lot of people run 7 Port in truggy and love it).

Hi rearview, Can't comment on the .25 6 Port, as I have never run one, but I believe from comments on here that they are a pretty full on engine. If your content with a little less power at present then the .25 6 Port might be a little much.

The .25 race is insanely fast with monster buttom and pulls all the way to the top. Its too much if your running the 3 port sport and like it in the same car. You should just go to really any of the .21 race engines and it will be faster than what you have now. But for truggy the 5 port will give you the best bottum end and use an 086 pipe and you will be golden. I was pulling modded v-specs and OS and Jammin .28's last year with my PTM .21 5 port. Now its going into buggy so I am shopping for the smallest restrictors I can find to tame the beast. Just to put it out there the 3 port race is a super fast engine and is the newest designed GO mill besides the EBM5 of course. 1 of those 2 will be my next engine.
