R/C Tech Forums - Go Engine USA 2011 Thread

cool thanks. The engine (GX5R) factory settings are HSN (Flush) and LSN (Flush). Are these the correct settings for run in?

Also I'm going to run this in my Hara D8. How can you tame the bottom so it's manageable in the buggy.

for the first race or 2, set your throttle so it only opens about 3/4 at wide open. this will help you get use to the engine and probably give you better lap time and runtime than if you open it up 100%, also like stated above, a softer clutch will engage a little quicker and you will have less wheel spin

Front 7 x 19 x 6
We only run steel in the front due to dust and dirt being forced up into the bearing under the flywheel. Dust and dirt are the mortal enemies of ceramic bearings. Plus front ceramics don't like the shock loading from the starter box when cold. The front bearing is small in comparison, so you are not gaining a huge amount by going to ceramic here.

Rear 14 x 25.4 x 6
Run either stock or ceramic here. We have been using the Answer Si3N4 silicone nitride ceramics and find them excellent and very long lasting. The Avid ceramics are also a very good bearing. Both have good ABEC ratings.[/QUOTE]

Great insight, thx for taking the time!
Question on the GXII, is anyone having to shave down the collet to get enough crank sticking out of the clutchbell with Losi clutch? Or is there a shorter collet available somewhere which does not need to be shaved?
Thanks

Not sure on the Losi set up, but if the end of the crank is a little short of the end of the bell, use one of the OFNA clutch bearing retainers with the built in extender. This effectively gives you about 1 or 2 mm more of crankshaft length.

If you enlargen the picture, you will see the lip on the retainer that gives you the extra length. Hope this works for you :cool:

Oops - looks like the boys have it sorted while I was away finding the link. Problem solved :)

looking on the map its a long way down south,I wonder will there be any banjo player in the band :lol::lol:

GX 7R is an awesome motor, i still have a good one running and love the power in a buggy, can't wait to see what the GXII 7 HO will be like

He he yeah - If he is a 12 fingered banjo player then we know we are in trouble :lol:
Weather looks good until Sunday, so qualifying will be all important :(

Was in contact with Simon at GO the other night, and no immediate plans for the 7HO. They are working on other projects for early next year at present.

Good luck Flanno - give em hell mate :sneaky:

It would be nice to have something new to offer next year when we can run bigger motors in truggy, a .23 or .25 HO 5 port would be a good option next winter ;)

When the GXII5R was released, I was informed that all GXII parts are backwards compatible.

I do believe that if you want to put the finned head button on, you will need to use the GXII heatsink also.

Hey Rob! Long time! :)
Where have you been? :confused:
Did you get a 90 day stint with no work release or something like that? :eek: :eek: :eek:
:lol::lol::lol: (J/K J/K J/K)
It's been like three months since you dropped in here.
Does Cali have an off-season?
