I like what you had to say Brian. I know this, the fastest guy in buggy at my local track runs a stock 7 port. This is his 1st Go and he usually buys the $$$ mills and he said he wanted to see what all the hype was about, and he likes it alot. The only time he has trouble winning races is when there are guy with electric conversion buggies. 2 more people went ahead and got Go's and like them so far. Now for me I am new to nitro racing I for my 1st mill usd a cheap one and did well with it. I raced 10th scale electric for awhile now, so I didnt want to break the bank to try something new. I enjoy running my truggy so I went and got myself from my knowlege the best thing going. The older guys at my rack are having trouble with those "high end" mills. I said all that to say dont judge what you never owned. I could have bought a V-spec for what I put into my go, but I didnt want a V-spec.
