hey guys i am getting a new engine for my hyper 8 buggy!!
i am trying to decide if i should get a v-spec, jammin .21, Go tech 5p or 7p.


If i get a go should i get a 5p or a 7p?
here is my track it is pretty big!!

also i only have a thunder tiger 2035 pipe on a main it says it is the same as the ofna 053 witch looks identical to the dynamite one.

The track I race at the most is about the same size as that. Im going with the Go Tech 5 port turbo plug.

either one will work well, but the 7 port is better suited if you like big time top end speed, but if you like big bottom go with the 5 port...i run them both depending on the track...

So I can use the O.S. 8 Short plug in place of the go tech 5 plug and get the same results? I just can't seem to find the 5 in stock anywhere so if this is the case I'll go with the 8 .............Thanks

nta01 the best plug i have found is the NovaRossi C6TF.

I have a 5 port and have tried many plugs believe me but this one is the best.

The OS and the Go plugs are both short plugs...So yes the OS 8 will work.

So far this .28 6 port is an absolute beast. In all honesty it's probably too much for someone like me. I'll leave it at that for now...will have more feedback in the coming weeks with more practicing and racing. I'm very excited and can't wait to get out there some more.

How do the jp 1,2,3,4 pipes work on the 5 port (turbo plug) motors?

snookums 11-26-2007 06:27 PM

Hi Russ I'm having difficulties tuning my .28 6 port can you let me know the factory settings for the carb? Thanks
