Yes, I believe so.

thank you for your answere.

i have tries my moded 3 port in the truggy it does work well , like grizz says it certainly much better in the buggy i use a 7 port in my truggy which im very happy with

the bolts werent loos at all on your engine for the lug to break off at all ? or pulling down uneven ? i have seen this on other engines for this reason

About a year ago when the 3-Port Race was barely coming out I saw Go Team Driver George Drake (T-Mizzle) running his 3-Port on his Kyosho STRR Truggy and that thing was ripping the track, was clearing everything and didn't seem to lack anything, it was a RC Pro race.

I can honestly say I have never seen the mount on the motor break off like that. I can't believe that it did that. I would take it back to the guy you bought it from. Go dealers are very willing to help.

the 3 port does go very well in the truggy but i like it in my buggy soooooooo much better just rips and tears everything up and clears massive jumps with ease

as for the ear braking off i this is the 3rd time i seen it but the first time on a GO , im sure the dealer will do any thing to help you out
possably a casting fault , or maybe the engine pulled down on an angle and with the consistant vibrations the ear cracked ...

That break is the result of the bottom of the engine case being too close to the chassis. When the chassis and engine case meet with enough force, from casing a jump or whatever else, the "ears" will snap off.

Yours isn't the first to break like this. I saw it happen to another Go engine recently (on a Losi 8ight) . After looking at that one, the engine case did indeed sit low enough for that to happen. Go needs to lower the "ears" a bit or lap the bottom of the case more thoroughly.

In the future, put some washers between the "ear" and the engine mounts to make sure there's enough clearance.

It would be fine to grind a bit off the bottom of the block also.

hi guys. i just wanted to ask if the mm5 5port hits really hard at the bottom that its hard to control? was thinking of ordering one just want to know the performance ...

thanks

Beer,

the 5 port is a beast of an engine but can be tamed down by which springs and shoes you run in the clutch, which diff oils you use and how you set up your controller.

i originally was going to go for the Go Gen 5-3 port R-spec as i was worried about the power but got a deal on a 5 port that was to good to ignore and i've found the 5 to be perfect for me in both truggy and buggy.


Mike

thanks for the reply mike... will order mm5 5port then...

your talking about the massivemods 5port or stock 5port?

Hi beer,

The MMods Stage 5 5 port is one sweet motor. The Stage 5 although it has more overall power, actually is a little softer on the bottom end than the stock version. This is done to make the motor more tractable and easier to drive (especially in buggy). It is acheived by changing the engines timing as part of the modifications.
I run the Stage 5 5 Port in my buggy and it is a great buggy motor. I run alloy shoes with 2 x 1.1 springs and 1 x 1.0 spring and 10% exponential on the throttle and it drives very nicely (on my track anyway).
In Stage 5 trim the 5 Port has heaps of power all around, with extended top end that pretty well matches the 7 Port.
I have heard other modders say that the 5 Port modded correctly is the best buggy motor in the GO range. I am not qualified to comment on that statement, but I would highly recommend it

(It is also the base motor for the new MG66 to be released soon, which speaks volumes about the original 5 Port motor in itself).
