You'll like the stock 5port from GO, That's what im currently running with the stock GO pipe and has crazy power which I love. You'll be happy with the GO engine. If you decide to get one make sure you take your time on breaking it in as its super tight!

no your looking @ style and looks!,because if you were looking for performance you would run the go 5port for the price compared to the gx5r which is probally just a tad faster maybe,but mostly just a new head and carb throttle slide!

from what i've seen it's a modded gen 5 GO 3 port, they also do a 5 port, good power but lousy tank times compared to the GO GX 3 port or 5 port

Come on buggy racers where are ya ?


I can't speek for others, but thats what I would run if I raced buggy.

MG66 or GX7Go for the insane top end wich suits the gearing in a buggy.

I have a local customer running an X-Ray buggy. He's running the GX7R with the 2072 pipe and has all the bottom end he needs. Our local track is a relatively fast, open track with jumps right after turns. He never fails to clear the doubles and triples with the short run-ups. Gearing, clutching, tuning, and even chassis set-up have MAJOR influences on how a vehicle pulls coming out of corners.

The GX7R has plenty of bottom end for a buggy. I haven't seen an engine that can out-rev it on top end.

for the gx5r what do you recommend for a pipe. The 0801 or the 2072? Im just looking for something that will make it smooth and keep run times good.
