Hey Malik, I just checked out the MMods O rings - they look good. I went to the fuel tubing because the factory O rings kept drying out. Ended up with a blockage from all the shredded rubber sludge off the O rings blocking the needle jet. As far as size of tubing goes, I just get the standard tubing from my local hobby shop, I am guessing it is the thinner of the two sizes. I find it works really well, and gives a nice ¨tension¨ to the needles so they are easily adjusted but not too tight.

In a nutshell -

3 Port - good all round motor. Smooth linear power curve. Nice buggy motor.

5 Port - Massive bottom end, good mid and top end. Best suited to truggy in standard form (modded motors can be made a bit smoother on the bottom)

7 Port - Good bottom end, great mid and massive top end. Great buggy motor.

Pipes

3 Port - GO 0801 or Dynamite 086
5 Port - GO 0801 or Dynamite 086 (2047 with long header on long open track)
7 Port - GO 0801 or Dynamite 053 (2047 with long header is very nice)

Check out the new GO 2072 pipe just released. This should work very nicely on all the engines, particularly the 7 Port. It is ¨basically¨ a top end (2047) pipe with a longer style (0801) header, plus it has a few more things going on to bring the best out in the GO range of motors. Can´'t wait to get my hands on one
