Idk the only Losi I have is an old MT:).
It's a 4 shoe flywheel, I filled the inner row of set screws and 4 on the outside.I have a heavy throttle finger and this gx5r screams! Thought it might slow me down on the bottom.
I'll let you know sunday how it is.

same problem i have (heavy throttle finger)! but the only thing i have found to slow them down is to put the finger on a diet!

I do not think the losi shoes fit. Different mounting styles. I to have been contemplating the M2C unit, only thing holding me back is I am wondering about there composite shoes and how well they hold up.

I found the GX5R with 2green ".95" springs on alm shoes with 2 black ".9" on composite shoe work great in buggy with standard alm flywheel. Not sure I would like a heavy flywheel on the GX but hey that's why they made it adjustable right? :lol:

HEY BOYS !! Check out the sexy new hard coated and black coated EFRA 2072 pipes from Mr GO

Will be in stock at my place next week with a bit of luck. Going out the door fast on pre order :cool:

They are also offering a combo motor / cap and motor / T-Shirt deal, but you don't get to choose what cap or shirt you get, it is random selection from the factory, so I haven't gone down that road. Most of my customers like to know exactly what they are getting - as do I :)

But the pipes are hot :nod:

I will be ordering some soon, but I have 100 combos with the polished pipe on the way. :weird:

Kolunatic 08-05-2011 07:42 AM

Are the new pipes ceramic coated and or reduce temps?

Ruune 08-05-2011 08:00 AM

Not to my knowledge. Jury's still out on whether ceramic insulation on the exhaust helps with these engines. I need to do some more testing, but the exhaust pipe acts somewhat like a radiator, pulling heat out of the engine. The end result is that your engine runs hotter.

When you insulate the pipe, you get a lot of heat that stays within the engine, since you lose a tremendous amount of radiant surface area (the entire pipe). You're probably going to get better results by adding some airflow around the pipe itself.
