Pato Concha is running the Cera in South America. He says it is an "amazing little engine" and he is running it both buggy in truggy and is going to start testing it in 1/8 on road. He mentioned that the Cera was in the car that won the Argentinian national truggy championship last year.
I just received a report about the GXII Plus from a driver that just finished breaking one in. He raced it for the first time last weekend and he said the bottom end was "finicky" with a fine line between rich and lean. He eventually got the tune down and in his words started "hauling the mail." He was pulling the pack down the straights and he wound up qualifying 4th for the Amain. In the Amain he was running in 2nd place when a hole opened up in the carb boot and he started sucking air and that ended his run. In terms of fuel economy he reports he is getting 12 minute run times.
I hope this helps.

Byron's is a traditional synthetic/caster oil formula. Rapicon uses a completely synthetic oil. You need to retune your engine.

Hopefully you will find one closer to home (as we are about as far apart as you can get on the globe
) - but if you can't, email me at [email protected] and we will organise something.

The 7 Ports still have nice bottom end, but not as strong as the 5 Ports.
The power band is smoother on the 7 Port.
Basically less bottom end torque, but extended top end over the 5 Port. The 7's are a great buggy motor - but can still power a truggy on an open flowing track.
