I'm keen on an Alpha A852, but there's a great offer going in Germany for the G5T including 2072 pipe..., for way less than just the A852.. I want power though. Kinda' keen on the hard ano 2072 the Go comes with as well..
(If I understand correctly, the 2072 is a big power pipe that goes well on lots of engines....)
The GO G5T is a great little engine. It is basically the GX-5R motor with a different crank and a appearance change.
Touted as an entry level motor, but it is a very stout performer, suitable for buggy and truggy, just like the GX-5R was.
Best run with the 2072 pipe and header.
Only down side is it was only produced for a few months. We imported 40 of these and they sold like hot cakes at the price.
Seems it was dropped in favour of the newer Underdog Project motor.
I would grab the G5T if it's a good price. You may just have to search for spares that's all, as they were a very short production run.
