Going on what you have said about your track I would lean toward the 7 Port with 0801 pipe (which comes in the combo kit). Use 1.1 clutch springs with 2 x alloy and 1 x carbon shoe. That will give you ample bottom end, plus awesome top end should you run at a longer more open track sometimes. I am a bit biased toward the 7 Port, as I reckon it is one of the best buggy motors out there, and sometimes overlooked in the GO range by a lot of people. It has a nice power band for a buggy. Plenty of low end grunt, and a mid and top end that will match anything out there. I haven't seen many, if any big $ motors pull away from a GO 7 Port in full song
Value for money, you can't beat it.
