the track that I would be on in the winter is really tight and small, but the summer track seems to be quite a bit larger. if anyone knows the Medina R/C track just south of Cleveland, that is the one I am speaking of.
Anyway, if I monitored temps as I should, ran 30% fuel, and heated up the engine before running, is there any reason that I should be worried about destroying it? (a Go-Tech) Also, which would you guys recommend for a Jammin buggy? I was originally just going to go with teh Go 3 port standard version, but the 5 port and 7 port seem like they should run a lot better. Is there a newer 3 port that I should look at? Any help would be appreciated.
Are the tracks indoor and outdoor med bite or high or loamy, GO has a new Race Spec 3 port, it's a good motor. I'm running it know, but if you think more bottom is needed or thats what you like the 5 port is the ticket, if you like smooth linier bottom the 3 and 7 ports are good for that style, the 7 port will have more top than any of them, which it's hard using all the top it puts out, so i always recommend the 3 or 5 for buggy, but if your tracks are loose and loamy, the 7 is very smooth like the 3. An 053 is good on the 7 ports, and a 086, 2047, 053 works good on the 3 and 5. Hope this helps
