Thought I'd add a couple of pics of my 7 port in the buggy sporting it's new paintjob..thought it was about time I invested in some new water based paints..Faskolor rocks..thank god no more laquer sniffing and boy is that flourescent bright in the sun..haven't airbrushed in a while so there are a couple of flaws but nothing anyone will see as I blast past them anyway! :ha:

And what I noticed was it felt sloopy. and it is the one engine that I noticed the pinch was going away a little faster then the others. I may have done the massive mods run in oil a little to much? If thats possible. Not enough heat?It went together hard,meaning the sleeve did not want to slide down into the block easy. This was the engine that made the wisp,wisp noise. come to find out it was the clutch springs[to lite,90's] I'm wondering if your onto some thing here when the engines get rebuilt. This engine has about a gallon on it so I have another one to go until I tear apart and rebuild. Or I may let this one go a little longer. If you stumble across what the problem is please share. I would like to know.

Big, I know what you mean. There are a some I'd like to meet here as well. A couple from bad deals on the f/s side and the others like yourself and like you said Mark, 22, and a few others that have been helpful and seem like they would be cool to throw some laps down with. Like I said, I'm just going to send this 5pt to Mark and let him sort it out. Maybe he will have a better explanation as to what is going on. Got a pretty big race next weekend, Tri-County Nitro series race and I just want something that I can depend on. I'll keep ya posted if I or Mark come up with an answer. Let me know if you discover anything also. Thanks,
Brian

thanks

We have reviews on the site for the hand made versions. I am testing the Production model of the MG66 and i have to say that Go have done an amazing job ! i am totally wrapped with it. The hand made version was getting about 12 to 13 mins in buggy tank time. So we envisage the average user should achieve 11 mins tank time. But in saying that tank time has so many variables thats outside the engine its self. two people with the exact set up and engine can achieve different tank times from driving style. So tank time is really up to the end user. EG one of our team drivers was getting 10 mins no problem , when we went into some tune training he ended up getting 14 mins in his truggy. thats a big leap and it was down to tuning experience and fuel choice.

hope this helps

All engines are assembled with oil at the factory but doing what matt has done is a good safeguard for first start.

When i run in an engine i always put some MMARF oil in there and swish it around , then pre heat and start.

They will be on the site for pre order early next week. . Waiting list will be about 1 month until we have them in full swing.

We will have an email and call line for the engine so you can communicate directly with us re any tech tips. We will encourage anyone with this engine to talk to us directly for help as we are the best equipped to answer any questions for the best engine performance and results !

Cheers MM

Mark, wasn't really a question, more of a Rant. I have a Gen 5 5pt that I love. Problem is, It was time for a new P/S/R. Had a lot of time on it. I could of pinched it but I kinda like new. So I bought a new set, tore the motor down and cleaned everything well. Shot some oil in the block, on the crank, bearings etc.. Assembled the motor and proceeded to break it in. Got almost a gallon on it running it at the track doing some practice/tuning and it died. Anytime a motor dies suddenly I've learned to check to make sure it turns over by hand. It didn't. So I took it home, tore it down and the C clip in the front/intake side was gone and it ruined the P/S. So I cleaned it all up again, bought another new P/S/R and this time installed a Ceramic Rear bearing. Start the break in process again. Got 5 tanks on it and start to lean it out a little each time. Got over a 1/2 gallon on it and take it out again for more tuning and run time. About the 3/4 gallon mark it died. Checked it out, tore it down and I'll be damned the same thing happened again! Front clip gone, P/S shot. So I was wondering why this was happening and wondered if anyone else had a similar experience. Also said I was no longer in love with my Go and was done putting money in it. I could have bought a new motor for what I have into rebuilding this one. The pics in one of my posts show the wrist pins of the P/S/R sets I put in. The one is severely worn and I believe that is what caused the clip to pop. The second one I have no I idea. Sorry for the long post, but I thought I'd try and catch you up to speed. I was going to get ahold of you on this anyways. Thanks.

Hey Mark, sounds like the MG66 is going to be the next BIG thing in the world of GO !!
This motor will really put you on the map bro (us down-under dudes know your on the map already :nod:, but I was thinking more Northern Hemisphere).
From what we have heard, and having seen one of the 6 Port prototypes in action over here, itīs all very exciting for us dedicated Team GO people.
I will be watching and listening with interest when the MG66īs start hitting the tracks. :sneaky: :cool:

I learnt from the best mate, (Mark's MASSIVE tuning school), and I'm sure the C2 Amain blue dot helped !
14min 36sec...:D

Nice work Giz. I have included a few pics of the X-Ray and MM5 5 Port.
Couple of shots from a recent meeting, and some nice clean and shiny ones with a new pink wing that I can see amongst the other buggies at a great distance. Necessary when the eye sight is not what it used to be :)

Cheers. Paint is by a local New Zealand racer Malcolm Namana from "Hori Designs".

Check out this vid on the MG66 / fuel test. WICKED :eek: Gives a nice preview of the internals of the MG66 too. PRETTY.
