i bought it off here, but was new

Otherwise, how is it performing ?
Not flaming out on the track?
No flat spot on take off ?

hey guys, quick question.

I have a line on a pretty good priced Go .21 5PT motor. My question is, I know this isnt the newest line of engines, but how are they? It would be going in a Jammin X1-CRT. Just looking for some feedback on that particular model. Its got a new rod and bearings in it. And for the price, I cant pass it up. Unless of course, its a dog.

these motors rip, but i find them hard to tune, just my opinion, i always get a 1/2 bog issue and have done everyhing that is on the go support page. plus have replace about everything you can to try to fix, so im giving up and selling mine!

Tune with the engine fully warmed up (5 minutes at race pace, minimum) and with 1/4 tank or less. It won't ever bog again.

So you are trying to sell your engine which you yourself are having issues with in the buy/sell section? Thats part of the reason many people won't touch used engines. Either fix it or dump it, imo, but don't sell it to an unsuspecting person, thats just dishonest unless you disclose the problem in the listing.

+1

apparently i dont know how to tune! someone else that does im sure it will be fine for! so are you saying there is somthing wrong with these motors? or just hard to tune and should let everybody know?

ill try it again tomorrow, but getting really frustrating!

No i have 3 and don't have any problems tuning them or with their performance. No bog issues at all either. But to not disclose that in the listing seems to be abit shady if nothing else. I mean maybe it is a tuning issue, or maybe not. What if your bearings are shot or something else. It just seems to me that disclosing that info to a potential buyer only seems fair. But thats me.

Do you have a long or short needle? Start with the idle gap and lsn, then adjust the hsn last. The hsn makes a big difference when you turn it one way or another, so its best to not mess with it too much.

ok, sound fair, ill let everyone one that my go.21 is a pain to tune, and only has 1 gallon on it, how about i sent it to you and you tune it up and what not and sender back?

it has short needle. there is nothing i havent tried.

LOL, no sweat off my back i don't own the company, haha. I do like the motors, but honestly it wouldn't affect me at all if you told people about your experience, i have nothing financial to gain from it either way. I will say one thing, the hsn is very touchy. On the other hand the lsn is not. Give it one more try tomorrow and see where you end up.

thats the plan, i edited my forsale thread! going to give it another try!!
