grizz the new go tech plugs are great :) t3 work a treat have you used them yet ?

I guess the new Go motors are on there way to the Usa, coated crank, new head is all I know for sure. Give me a pm if you want one at a special preorder price.

Because of our crap exchange rate at present, plus a little bit of greed on the part of the local hobby shops, a P3, 4, or 5 plug will set you back NZ$20 :eek:

The GO plugs are around NZ$16 The local GO distributor hasn't got the customer base to bring a large number in, and therefore get the price a little lower. He does his best to keep the price as low as possible for us.
Local RB distributor is the same - RB#5 is NZ$18 plus postage.

I am buying O'Donnell 97T and 77T's from A-Main on special, and landed here they are costing me NZ$9 each (buying 10 at a time).

i see makes perfect sense mate are they the odonnell plugs you talking about ?

Yep. Their US$4.99 each at the moment on A-Main. Pretty good price.

good god they are charging you almost 45.00 for shipping? :weird: I wonder what the real cost would be for me to mail you some. pm me your address I want to see what it is to send a letter to you. I did read it right? didn't I?:weird:

I have to investigate the new mills coming in. As I just let my good ol PTM 5 port go today. I was sad to let it go but a friend was in need and he has taken care of me plenty times over. That mill NEVER flamed on me once. Had about 4.5 gals on it. But I guess its time for a orange head, well I will use my new Donut racing head on all my mills from here on out. I think I am going to try the 7 port. Modded I am not sure yet probably not, around me I never see the 7 get to completly stretch its legs now. My powerhouse 3 port is just incredible kills the 5 port in runtime top end and is very similar in bottum end power. Mark at Powerhouse knows his stuff, I used the 086 and Caster pipe on it the 053 I will try this week and will be what I stick with I am sure as he mods all of his mills around the longer pipe. He actually told me to get the 007 but I dont need all that bottum so the 053 should be just right. All this with a 6.5 restricter.

No mate. The shipping is only around $7. The difference is our exchange rate. One NZ dollar buys something like .62c US at the moment, so everything from the States is close to double the advertised price for us. That's why the OS plugs are so expensive here. But thank you very much for the offer :)

i can just see it we buying each others parts and sending them to each caorner of the globe :nod:....

the days when aus $ was buying 96c us they were great my master card how ever didnt look flash :lol:

Anyone know where I can get a Gen 4 conrod for a GO .21 silver head?
The engine is brand new but needs a rod, I have been told that I cant put a 5.5 conrod in it as the big end bushing is a different size to the Gen 4 bushing. I could buy a 5.5 crank as well but would rather get out of it as cheaply as I can.
Thanks

nope you can replace a gen4 with gen5.5 I'm about to if Mark at massive hadn't run out of crankshafts..

grizz1...yup mine has ovaled just like you said..checked it again and the end of the pin is 4.82 x 4.88...definitely oval...I wanted to bung a 5.5 in there anyway..bummer is I am on holiday from work..weather is perfect..track is all fixed..and I don't have an engine..

go gen 5
 

Hi guys

Well i have a new gen 5 that Grizz1 started to brake in for me thanks m8. The motor has done 20 tanks know. But next weekend it will fianly hit the track. if the wether is good. But i had a air leck in my fuel tank o ring fixed that np's. but im really scred of stuffing my motor up as this is my first nitro buggy.

So can anyone write down what will happen if the car is

lean on bottom and what will the car do???
rich on bottom " "
lean on top " "
rich on top " "

as i really dont wanna stuuff my motor

and thanks shane for all ur help


cheers jeff

Hi Jeff, you shouldn't have to change it very much from where I set it at the other day. Those settings will get you racing a little rich, so it's easy on the motor. It's past my bed time now (yawn), so I won't go into answering your queries right now.
If in doubt richen top and bottom so you have plenty of smoke, then work back leaning it slightly in tiny steps from there until it's running good, but still with PLENTY OF SMOKE !!! Remember, NO SMOKE IS NO GOOD.

Carry out the spit test too if your not sure. If it sizzles off straight away - richen it. If it sits there and does nothing much and takes ages to evaporate away - lean it. If it gently bubbles and evaporates away over a 10 second period - it's pretty good.

Any help on this guys? Is a plastic carb insert OK?

the plastic one will be okey :):) will not make any differance to the performance at all ... i reall thoght it would have come with the orings but i couldnt tell you what size they are , maybe get in contact with racerr 22 or mark :)
