thanks for any info you can give
It's generally regarded that the 7 Port is better suited to a buggy and the 5 Port to truggy, but either motor is wicked in a buggy.
I run a Massive Mods Gen 5 Stage 5 5 Port in my X Ray buggy and it rips
The modded 5 has wicked bottom, but I think smoother bottom end power (which suits a buggy) than the standard 5, plus it has the extended top end of the 7. It really leaves a stock 5 for dead on the top end. It is a really well balanced motor. With 6.5 restrictor it gives very good run times with power to burn.
If you are getting a modded motor from Mark at Massive Mods I would recommend the Stage 5 5 Port. It has all the power you will ever need, but is easily tamed with clutch and restrictor to suit any track. Run it with the 0801 Pipe.
I have a Gen 4 Stage 3 7 Port, but have never run a highly modded 7, so can't give you an informed opinion on that motor at say Stage 5 mod.
The modded motors hold their tune just as well as a stock motor. They last just as long as well.
Once you have mastered tuning with the long LSN, these motors are a breeze to tune and run.
Plenty of info on the long LSN in the last 10 or so pages. It's no big deal, just run the HSN at flush to 1/4 turn in, and tune with the LSN. Simple.
