I will continue to run them for the forseeable future. Hell my truggy was able to keep up with a mugen mbx6 buggy with a ninja on the local track, that in itself says alot about the power these things make.
I am a Go dealer as well....Great running engines when they are setup correctly.. But I do have a few complaints.... Pinch, the engines come with way too much pinch, it is not needed and makes breakin a huge hassle...the factory needs to tighten their tolerances.......O-rings... the batches of Go's I brought in all had really poor o-rings...I had to R+R almost all the carb o-rings, front bearings...several of the engines had really bad front bearings, and the engines would not run properly till I replaced them...... Piston material, some of the engines seemed to have a really soft piston that ovalled out at the wristpin, which resulted in the circlip popping loose and ruining the engine...As a rule I am not a fan of any engine that uses a cast piston, I will take a machined billet piston any day........... However once you get thru the brutal breakin, replace the o-rings and the odd front bearing the engines ran excellent.....
