Not sure if they'v arrived here yet bud, so no not yet.

seen the Aussie thread lately ;)

LOL, was just kidding, i would never take a free engine from anyone!!!! i would atleast pay shipping.....:lol::lol:


no worries here, like'in the help and tips forsure! i did notice the idle does drop down about 10 seconds after stopping! all this info is awsome!! even with the tune all screwed up, this GX5R still runs better than the engines i ran last year!!!:lol:

Damn my keen eye...damn damn damn :blush:


also, has anyone else noticed what page we'r on :D

LMAO!! you must be a rc racer!!:lol:

I´ve always said one good turn deserves another, and I can´t think of a better way to express that sentiment :smile:

Your a legend bro !!! A sponsors dream ;)
Are you sure you don´t want to move across the ditch :)

Cheers Grizz :D

Thanks for the tune section on the last page, I have the same issue of it dropping the idle after I come in to pit. (avg 7 seconds till it wants to stall) I'll play with the idle/ls next time out. Never looked at the idle. Thanks.

No worries :). If you want the full tuning spiel, go to the ¨Tech Tips¨ page of our website at http://www.go-racing.co.nz
Scroll down past the run-in section to the tuning info. :cool:

GX-5R
 

Well got my motor all back together with the help of shane [cheers man] had my first run today at hamilton track but was having heaps of trouble with the tune always changing just the low end would always fatten up evertime i restarted it from a good tune, i had to turn in the lowspeed needle 3 full turns to stop boggin down, also blew 2 glow plugs witch has never happened before so was thinking my motor might be low in compresion causing all my trouble and not enough head shims? but if my motor was low in compression would it still blow glow plugs like that? it still has resistance when turning flywheel when in truggy thow, how do i tell if it is low in compresion? got it to last the main at least.

And on a good note won the A truggy final today had an awsome run am stocked with that even with tune trouble YEH HA :D

Is it worth getting a pinch done if it is low in compression just to get me threw till i can get a GX11-5RHO.

Glad to help, pretty soon everyone will be getting 13min run times too :cry:

The GO´s always run a little fat for the first couple of minutes until they heat up. I think by going in 3 turns (which is a huge adjustment) you would have ended up very lean after a few laps, which probably accounts for the blown plugs.
Check the compression by taking the motor out of the car when it´s cold and holding the motor by the flywheel. Tilt it over to one side. If it will hold it´s own weight without slowly turning over and flopping to the bottom then the compression should be ok. If it will hold it´s own weight with the pipe still attached it is sweet. If it won´t hold it´s own weight and just turns over either slowly or quickly, then it´s time for a pinch, or a new PRS set. or a new GXII-5RHO ;)
Nice effort with the win mate. It must have been running half decent to pull that off :)

Keep with it speed demon, you'l get it, one thing to remember is if in daubt, richen high end to flush and start all over again with the bottom end first and only once that is happy can you start going in on top in small adjustments untill you start getting power, do 2-3 consecutive tanks to saturate the chassis with heat before fine tuning for optimum race tune.

Yeh that was massive adjustment with low speed needle but if i didnt have it in that far i would not idle and just cut out when hitting throttle it was like a new motor setting just choking up it was that rich until i got to 3 turns in, i ran a full tank out once i got it to run ok [still a little rich on bottom] just because the most i would usually have to turn in would be 1.5 turns max from flush and seem to run ok didnt lean out if anything got richer, i tune my motor exactly like you posted hsn was just under flush idle gap was set by pinch test [first] then set lsn last but i think the compresion would be getting low as it only holds it weight on its side [without pipe] for a few seconds then drops, i think i might have to send it up to you and you can check it out and if you think it would be ok give it a pinch as no point gettin new psr as i am wanting the GXII-5RHO :nod: in a couple of months anyway and would just keep this for a backup engine [got to wait a couple of months to keep mum happy] ;)

Cheers man, yeh once it was tuned it was good well good enough to get me threw the main anyway its once it cooled down and restarted it was a differant tune.

Cheers flanno i won't be giving up on these go engines :) they are great out of a hole season racing this is the first time with issues so its done heaps of hard work so im more than happy with its performance usually they are great to tune i think these are the easiest motors i have had yet to tune thats why i think its not tune related but low compression or something like that.
