R/C Tech Forums - Go-Tech Engines Thread

Use the online stores which carry GO, cause i doubt a USA distributor or other country "distributor" will sell to you rcountry knowing that you have access to local support ...

good luck,

anyone have any experience with the 7 port in a truggy in stock form not modded?

The 7 port would not be my first choice for a truggy, the 5 port rocks in a Truggy. But if that is what you have, it can work, just make sure you take time and get the tune right and it will have good bottom end power.

I don't have one, just curious if the 7 would work. I might have to pick a 5 port up then! I have an eb mod 5 port.

I have the 3 port from ed. I had his 5 port too much power for my buggy and driving experience.

OK. everybody, here are three of the GO Engine distributors
that I know are great guys to deal with.

Maximo

If any of you other GO distributors want everyone to
know who you are, then post up your info. Until the
main site posts a listing of all the GO Engines distributors,
this thread will be a good place to get the word out.
There is another guy thats a distributor that sent me
a PM awhile back. I think he's from Fla. and has a web
site. I'll see if I can find his info and add it to the list.

I'm in florida, accually the north west panhandle.
Our web site is www.TNTPROHOBBIES.com
We have alot on order since were very new so I'm out of stock on some items. I keep the site updated on whats in and what isn't. My focus is on the dedicated racers, so you won't find the misc. products on my site that others carry and no one buys. Our goal is customer satisfaction. There's others on this site that have already purchased from me and have given me Kudos on this thread. If theres anything you may need or want we'll do our best to find it for you. We should have all items totally in stock mid december. Feel free to call anytime. The web site is still having new items and more work done to it about everyday so please keep checking back.
Ok, I think I'm done tooting my horn now. LOL

shame I still beat everyone at the last demo with the MG66 even though I only had front wheel drive on my 4x4...Muahahahaaha!!!:sneaky:

Yes the softer diff housing is a pain in the Kyosho , took me 3 crown gears before someone told me why it happened lol
