I'm selling all the left over crap I have to get one. Got rid of a hyper 8.5 and tons of parts. should be enough to pay for engine.

Good idea Matt. It's amazing how the bits and pieces just build up over time.
I did the same thing when I decided to concentrate on racing off-road buggy, and upgraded to my current X-Ray 808.
I had been dabling in a bit of everything since I got into the nitro thing and had accumulated way too much stuff. Had a MASSIVE clean out on our local equivalent of E-Bay. It amazing how much money you have tied up in stuff that just sitting around :)

that's awesome Matt, please PM me how much I owe you, thanks :nod:

mate dont worry about i will cover it ,it cost only $9 aus :) dont stress il pm you this week some time for when it has been sent i will call my bro :)

sounds good, thanks! :smile:

I always have it with me so when you're ready to give it a shot, lmk

Grizz your rite mate im thinking a mg66 as well for the states :nod:

I wonder if i can my hands on one for the nationals in August ......

will have to ask Mark:D

I had a long hard think last night about getting an MG66, and to be honest I don´t really think I can justify it. I´ve got two sweet motors which both have more than enough power for my current skill level. Any more power at this stage would probably only result in slower lap times for me :p
I sure would like one, but being realistic I think my dollars would be better spent on new tyres for race days and fuel for more practice. You know what they say - ¨The more you practice, the luckier you get¨ :nod:
I am also in the process of buying a nice 2nd hand Serpent 960 1/8 on-road for some fun thrashing (these things will scare the pants off ya :eek:).
Ahh - so many toys out there and never enough cash :lol:
However, should one of my motors turn it´s toes up ............. :)

i hear ya Grizz,

you gotta sometimes evaluate your priorities between the "real world" and the "rc world"......

i was recently in the same boat as to whether to buy the rc8b or keep running the rc8 and also get a Nova Plus4 but when i stopped and thought about it i realised what i was running now was still just as competitive at my level!

and the 5 port keeps pace anyway.

Mike

So true Mike.
If I do need more power I can just go up from the 6.5 restrictor and change to 7000 oil in the centre diff.
The majority of the very fast drivers at my track don't run anything super special. They just drive smooth, with great lines - lap, after lap, after lap.
If the funds where endless, and everything else in the world was in place, the MG66 would be on back order from Massive already, along with a few other bits and pieces :lol: It is one sweet motor for sure, and I believe it may well be the catylist that takes the GO brand to a higher level in the micro motor market place.
If your in the market for a new motor, or fate has left you motor-less (eh Giz), then grab one for sure :nod:

Yeah !

Yeh I'm with mark..Visited the real world recently and it ate my 7 port..So back here in fantasy land consider my MG66 ordered..I guess the payment will have to come from the real world but you can't have everything ..right..well maybe not but I'm sure as hell gonna try..As my next race isn't till 3rd september I have all summer to run it in and play around with the buggy settings..might even get my trigger finger to bend by then...
