Like I said Ivé got an RC8FT that I am currently running a V spec with 2060 pipe. I'm looking for a new mill for the rest of this season and next year as the V spec is starting to feel a bit tired. I was thinking about getting a WS73 but for the price and the amount of racing I do and not to forget that I'll never realy be a threat to the fast guys, I just one a bang for your buck engine that will still deliver the goods as my skills improve. So I've been looking at the Go engines but now can't decide on what one to get. I will be racing on a high bite blue groove surface that is fairly flowing, so would the 3, 5 or 7 port suit me better.
How big is the track your running on? For bigger tracks, I run the 7 Port with Femca 0801 Pipe in my RC8. For smaller tracks I run a 3 port with the same pipe. Run Stock gearing for the smaller tracks and bump up a tooth on the clutch bell for the bigger ones. Hope this helps!!
