here we all get 10+ gallons every engine. reedys die at 5-6. i have owned reedys before. they die very quickly.
suppose you'll say the MM66x blows too? thats probably the only engine that will outrev a gx7r. but guess what? its a modded GO engine.
i own nearly all "top engines" but i will always use my GO engines for race days. they normaly never need adjusted start first pop.
try a engine a few times before you bash it please.
I've run GO engines before, never really liked them. For the price, they are a snappy little mill, but I've never had a reliable one. Personally for the price, I'd rather buy a reedy or a Powerhouse modded N21 Novarossi, power on both is much smoother and way more linear than the GO's. Plus, I have a hard time believe they are good quality when they come with an extra rod in the box.
I will say the power on the Go's is pretty impressive, but for my local tracks it lacks drivability, and everyone that has owned one around here hasnt had it very long. Have had a wide range of problems, from the typical carb issues of the earlier models, to rods wearing out in a gallon or less, to just flat out being junk out of the box. All of the local guys that have run GOs have switch to RBs, Novas, or OS, with a few exceptions(Sirios and EBmods). Reliability and drivability on these motors are top notch, and I've personally never seen a bad one.
I have a Reedy that I just rebuilt(user error damaged some internals--long story) and I'm sure when I get a chance to run it I'll be more than pleased with it, as I was when I first bought it...
