No it isn't

Hey guys.. I guess it's a bit late to ask but I bought GT5 on a whim from Amain. Product info states engine is the same p/s/c as GX. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts. The engine was only 100 bucks so I'm not to concerned, but I haven't heard much information on that engine. To date the best engine I've owned was a RB B10. I got 13 gallons of fuel through it before it started getting finicky. I sent it to get pinched and got lost in the mail. My current engine is Dynamite V2. Good engine, but only 5 gallons of life. I got it repinched and seems to be working good, but after only 1/2 gallon of fuel it seems to be acting goofy. What is everyones thoughts on buying the cheaper engines?

I have been running go engines the past few years and think they are great!! To date the best combo I have tried is

GX II HO .21 with Novarossi 9mm insert, werks 2058 pipe, #5 werks glow plug and M2C flywheel (no Weights)

Pipes I have ran the go 2072, werks 2013, ofna 086 and nova 9901

Power delivery is crisp and has a hard hitting electric feel to it. Very impressed with run times at 11 mins with fuel to spare

just thought i would post it if anyone wants to give it a try

Fisher king,I am running a G5T in my truggy.It is a very good motor,heaps of bottom and doesn't,t lack on the top either.
It is basically a GX5R with an updated crank,quality bearings etc.
You can expect the same life out of it as any other motor out there,just at a very low price.
I heard that GO we're discontinuing this motor,so I recommend grabbing a backup or two I have

Will a dynamite 053 pipe work with gt5 gotech? I also have RB concept 2045. Which is better?

I have only run the GO2072,not familiar with the others you mention.

I had a Dynamite 053 on a Caster Grenade(which was a modified Go GXR 5-port), and it was awesome.. A bit of a light-switch, but I liked it a lot..

What did the sleeve porting look like on yours? Any pictures? I found out they produced a 7 port with DLC, so it might be a variation of the Precirotate style then.

That engine looks like the Arrow case and carb, maybe it has the longer stroke crank like a Go.

It's definitely out of the GO factory with that carb and Arrow-influenced case, but it's long stroke like the newer GO's.

This is all I've found:

I'd at least buy one just to see what it is if nothing else, but I'd like to know if there's some interchangeability. I just hope it wouldn't have the same case/front bearing problem as the first-gen Arrows... then come to find out it's a unique sleeve, so it's useless.

The listed bore and stroke of the Alturn is the same as the Go GXII-5R and the GX-3/5/7R series.
16.26mm x 16.80mm

Ok so tell me this, is the only recommendation a 2072? I have ten other pipes non are good? Jp2, jp3,9901,086,053,057,re10,re11,2060 or 2013?

the 086 and 053 do very well!!

An 086 works on everything. I have 2 2072 in great shape if you want to try one.

The alpha 2090 seems to work really well....
