I may invest in some high endurance shoes at some point. The 7 port has about 10 tanks through her now. I just couldn't hold off on the tuning. Running for 70+ minutes at 1/4-1/2 throttle was brutal. If i continue to use go engines in the future i'll probably invest in a break in bench. At least then i can set it and forget it for the first half dozen tanks. But running around in circles in your yard is just wrong

I used to run a 7port in an 8t with king heads shoes with 2 gold and 2 silver springs, the shoes lasted forever and It NEVER struggled for bottom end

Grizz can attest to that
