i think for our track the 5 is what you want to go with as the 3 loses a little on the straights and the seven's top end just doesn't get to open up fully IMO.

im running for sure bro and it will be great to see Ari's truggy in action, if it goes like his buggy then god help us.....lol

im running the 5 port as well so check it out and let me know your thoughts bud.

Hey mike nice buggy first of all I thought it was a 808 when I first looked due to the jconcepts 808 body and the rear tower looks similar also.

I've heard a lot of people say that the 7 port doesn't get to fully open up on their track and I think thats a shame as it puts a lot of people off what I beleive is probably the pick of the bunch.

The main thing I put this down to is most nitro racers have never raced electric and don't think about gearing changes to suit their track as the only thing everyone really discusses is engine tuning or pipe changes for more top or bottom end. heres a small example on my home track if I run.....

5 port I use a 16 tooth pinion and the 0801 pipe with a medium header(2047 header)

but on my 7port I run either a 14 or 15 tooth bell and the 2047 with a long header( 0801 header)

Getting the true potential out of an engine can be something as simple as a gear change. just my thoughts
