As far as a .21 5 Port vs standard .25 motor - the GO 5 Port with 086 or 0801 pipe should dust the standard motor, and give much better economy to boot.
I ran the 5 Port in a truggy and it was plenty powerful enough. General rule of thumb - 5 Port truggy (big bottom end power), 7 Port buggy (mid to top end power, but a lot of people run 7 Port in truggy and love it).
Thanks for your answer! Most local guys are running .21's, I imagine there's a good reason for that. I just figured I'd ask because the .25 is so cheap. I reckon my next engine will be a GO 5-port. Again, I prefer the lack of power my truggy has now because it's teaching me late braking and corner speed rather than just blasting jumps and straights with heaps of power.
