im new to rc's probly roughly 6 months . had china cookie buggy that crumbled and got a decent one i just brought a go tech 5port for it.
have a few questions about the engine.

i used the heatgun on it and put foil round the head and it fired first pop but wouldnt keep running( very rich i think) i had to leave the glow ignitor on for it to keep running? is this normal?

also i was only using not even quarter throttle and thing looked like it would pull a tree stump out the ground. is it to lean? its got heaps of smoke splattering all over the joint tho so im confused!

everything is brand spanking new ive only ran 1 tank so far like that but wanted to get some advise b4 i keep going with it.


cheers brett

You got PM Brett

Until the MG66 gets tested on a, industry standard,

I will wait to buy one. Let the guys that live where
the weather is warm enough to race this time of year
buy them and give there reviews on it. Just wait until
the engine modding gurus here in the U.S. get a chance
to test and tweek the MG66. There opinions are whats
going to be the real test of the MG66.


It seems your of the opinion that nobody can build, mod, test or reveiw a motor properly outside of your world. Being that insular must be quite a handicap. Mark's last post explained why the numbers where so high, just accept it for what it is.
Hundreds of people all around the world are already enjoying these great motors, and I'm am sure they won't be too concerned about what some self appointed "expert" has to say about the motor in 6 months time - right guys ??

I do believe there should be somewhat of an industry standard when it comes to dyno's, but when you really sit back and look at the big picture, there are so many factors that can cause mis readings that it is almost impossible to have an accurate conclusion of horse power and torque from one day to the next. Many factors contribute to this, one being ambient temperature,fuel, humidity, or maybe the dyno's just having a bad day. :lol: If there was such a thing as a "perfect and accurate" dyno then your engine manufactors wouldn't have a problem including such test along with their motors. It's just fact, your going to get different readings from dyno to dyno. I'm sure mark has done extensive testing with the MG66's and there's quite a few out in the field being ran in numerous different situations and settings. The proof in in the puddin'! :nod:

I don't like to spend my money based on hype
from abroad. I can tell you right now that the
stated corrected horespower number is B.S..
and I'll wait until it has been tested on tracks
here in the U.S.A.. You are correct about the
fact that I do take the opinions of the people
I associate with,and trust, in the rc world over others.
There will be plenty of newly designed engines
offered up by many between now and March
2010, so I've got time to make up my mind.

thats correct matty :nod:

mattwoodcraft 10-22-2009 01:44 PM

i certainly wouldnt mind trying some of this fuel to see how it performs compered to whats on the market now

mattwoodcraft 10-22-2009 01:50 PM

rageworks each to there own everyone is allowed an opinion ..
but im sure you have seen the Go motors perform on the track already have you not ?
the MG66 are no differant they are a very smooth motor with all the power , regardless of a dyno readings who says that any particular dyno is correct...

at the end of the day nobody said you have to buy one and Mark did explain what happened on a page back it is what it is

rageworks 10-22-2009 02:55 PM

I'm sure that the MG-66 is probly a descent engine.
But as of now i'm fed up with the GO B.S. here in the
U.S.. I just want some friggin parts get the four that
I own now back in top notch shape. Another three to
four weeks before any parts are going to be available,
allow another week in the mail. It will be snowing and
cold as hell by then. My two truggies are still running
strong with there replacement engines though. The
Clockworks JPX.21 and the AB Mods JX.21 engines
get the job done. The new EB Mods JS engines and
the new Alpha engines are going to be released soon
also. So there are plenty of interesting choices out
there. Alot of us learned the hard way to never rely
on just one engine manufacturer or importer.

Still having great success with my GX7R here in blighty. One and a half gallons old now, still has metal pinch so isn't fully run in.......but it rips. I'm hoping for a little more run time and rev's when the pinch is finally gone.

My Opinion is these motors really are the real deal, I'm so happy to have tried one for my self. I can only suggest anyone considering one TRY ONE FOR YOURSELF !

I have to agree with you there Rageworks 90 % of RC dyno readings are in accurate , this is why i wrote this a few pages back explaining my opinion on Dynos

" Dyno testing is great for finding small changes in performance . you can vary anything in your set up . Do a few passes and see what difference it makes. Things to change are

Filter
Plug
Pipe
Tyres
Diffs
Diff oils
Engine
Shimming
Fuels
Restrictors
EPA

and theres probably more ...

The important thing to remember with Dyno results is that the result is unique to the Dyno . Same set up and conditions with another dyno can have different results. So the important thing when testing a dyno for a comparrison is to do it on the same Dyno for a consistant platform ., Then when you are happy fine tune it at the track for those particular conditions.

We are having the MG66 dyno tested in the US later this month. We will post the results ! "



. We use them for 1/8 and 1:1 scale vehicles here in Sydney and Adelaide where we do the bulk of our fuel tesitng for our F1 F2 race boats and Touring Car products. In order to get a correct dyno reading there has to be a unit of measurement that alligns the machine to a standard. Regardless of where this dyno is or what country , America Germany Scotland Phillipines... We are going to have the engine tested by a few people with Dynos and i bet the results will all vary. one facility has a very good Dyno that is used by some of the engine manufacturers to base line readings of their products. Generally i wont comment on what i think the MG goes like bar a few personal experiences ive shared .. I am however really happy with the dozens of indipendant reviews on the engine so far.

Anyhoo

Have you tried to contact the current Go Dealer to get the parts you need ? i know its been frustrating for a lot of Go enthusiasts . Regardless i hope it gets sorted , if you need any help getting parts please dont hesitate to ask me

Cheers MM

If you need parts for the Go Engines in the US you can contact Trey, he is en San Antonio, current dealer for Go engines in the US, PM me so that I can give you his email.

Rage... what parts do you need?

Back in April or May Jeff (Rageworks) bought some parts from me and sent me some extra to cover some wrist pins and clips the next time I got some in. Well he still needs them and probably some more stuff by now. I even tried to get some from Fx hobby in Cananda while we were switching Dist. in the Us with no luck. As soon as I get my order he'll be getting what he needs. Just don't give him your phone # Trey, he really likes to talk... lol.

rageworks 10-25-2009 03:54 PM

Hey Runne, thanks for your concern, but I'm not
asking for any special treatment. Rex (22racer) is
and will stay my GO Engines and parts dealer. Rex
knows what parts I have been waiting for and they
are part of the order he placed with you. Maximo(Neal)
will be doing the,drilling,timing and ramping, mods on the
new cranks.
I know your doing all you can to get everybody stocked
up with the new GO engines and parts as fast as you can.
Sorry about my resent rants, I know I said that I was fed
up, but I never said that I gave up.
