This is not true at all, I have quite a few random inserts that do not fit certain carbs.

Ok guys who have used the 3 port race in buggy. If you were to get it modded what would you ask for from the modder? More bottum, midrange, high end what? I am open to suggestions. I am a firm beliver in modded mills, the temps go down= longevity, more power=:nod:, much and I mean much better idle= easier to tune and again longevity. I have only drove the 3 port race a once or twice someones elses and really where I am there is no need for the 7 port plus my PTM 5 is just insane couldnt imagine more top end and bottum and mid too lol. And temps never been above 215. I dont know what to tell the guy who will be doing the work what I want out of it so lets hear it. I could just tell him I want to blow the tires of the wheels but I hate glueing LOL.

About the venturi's I have let guys with nova's and os mills use my GO's so I figured they were my bad.

t8rtot 03-31-2009 07:47 AM

anyone have a definate answer?:confused:

zJatoRad 03-31-2009 08:21 AM

I think they only work on GO/RB/Nova/O.S.

I have tried to use Sportwerks venturis on my GO and they did not seal properlly, and I believe the Sportwerks venturis fit the picco, I'm not 100% positive though.

Shim on the 5p GO
 
Hello guys,
I would like to know what is the suggested shim high to be used with a 25% nitro fuel.
There is any rule to be followed on the GOs world ?

I'm not sure, but I believe the stock shim hight is OK for 30% Nitro, but the fuel I like has 25%.

Thank you
Cestari

Hey Gizmatron and anyone running the Massive Mods Go Techs, I would like to know how you feel the MM Go Motor stacks up against other race motors. (Please note, I am a Massive Mods & Go Tech fan so I am not trashing, but I would like some experienced drivers that have run other brands to let me know what I can expect. Currently we have little Go support locally and no Modded Go's out there so it is hard to get a feel for what this motor can really do compared to the rest of the field.) Mainly I am curious about the GRP Tuned .21, it is a popular motor at our track and my brother just picked one up. I am about ready to pick up a couple of MM Stage 5 5-Ports for my buggy and truggy and just wanted to know if I would be able to hang. If you can please let me know. I know I am going to catch flak for running a GO, but if I can smoke them my smile will be all the greater :)

Thanks. And I must say that MM Mark is an awsome guy to talk to so nothing here is to question the GO or Mark, just wanted a comparison.

IMHO all the 3port needs just a tad more bottom. It's linear and with good top but could spool up a bit stronger. Other than that it's just fine

malik 03-31-2009 11:44 AM

Thanks Poinas I definetly was going to ask for that all day long. Because this will be used on the smaller tracks I hit but I am shure I could use it on any. Any more suggestions???? I know and can say that from the 2 tanks I ran with a stock 3 race that it is 1 of the smoothest mills I ever ran so that quality I will want to stay for shure. I want to put out there that I wish my sponsorship reached Aussy land so I could use MM for my work, I made a plan over a year ago to try every respectable modder out there. For this mill I am going to use Powerhouse. I want to put this out there too if I had unlimited funds I would 100% have MM doing up a MG64 for me as we speak. I am going to MM for my next mill reguardless I will just have to get it here and ship it to him. The EBm5 full mod is on my list also and is awesome too and has been hitting the podium alot lately. I use Ed's fuel and like it alot.

Odd you should ask that as I'm just in the process of breaking in a GRP tuned .21 buggy engine with the turbo head for a mate in our club..it's in his brand new mp9 ..ahem but he's never done anything but bash with a savage truck before so he's spent some serious money..anyway bit early to tell really what the GRP is like but first impressions are its very very steady on the idle but seems to lack the full on top end of my GO 7-port..(MM stage 5 mind you not stock)..it's also bloody finicky on the lsn setting..fraction + or - seems to wreck the tune.Wouldn't like at this point to say I do or don't like it without watching it race once the run in is complete..what I will say is it lost it's really really tight pinch after only 2.5 liters of fuel and would start no problem from then on without preheat..my GO was much tighter until at least 7 litres..but that's what GO's are famous for..I would just buy a MM5 and sod the rest! I have the 3 and 7 ports from mark and get all my spares from him as well..never a problem EVER! Just order your spare rods,wrist pins and clips at the start so you don't have to worry about stock when you NEED to change them..Thats it really..go for it..make mark richer and get a great motor!

03racefan03 03-31-2009 12:19 PM

Thanks Gizmatron, timing is a funny thing :nod:

Thanks for the info on the GRP, let me know if you get any new info after you guys get it fully broke in. I really like dealing w/Mark and I think as soon as I get the last few $$'s saved up I'm going to get his Stage 5 5-ports.

BTW, I just saw a vid on his MG66 Dyno w/Bio Fuel and Holy Crap, if I could afford I would have one of them. Limited Edition, only one left. Look killer though.

Thanks again
