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

Good point !
I myself run (stock 13/46) with my 5 p, and run (13/48) with my 7 p in my trug.
I also use different clutch spring tentions to tune for the track !
