we run 13 sec laps at our indoor track, med to high grip, i run a 7 port, but i only have it to get ready for the Nitro blast, or a 5 port would be in it.

the 5port has a massive bottom end, so there will be lots of wheels spin on low traction tracks making it hard to control the car out of the corners...the 7port has a big top end with not as much bottom as the 5port, so the wheel spin on low traction tracks will be alot less making the car easier to drive, and have much more consistant lap time...making the car more controlable will make for a faster lap time...

I bought a 7port turbo off of a buddy w/a kings head on it. If I wanted to switch it back to a non turbo, where would I find a head button. Is that all I need to change?

yes the only thing you need to change is the button...the shimming is the same between the standard and turbo...by going to the standard button you will loose a bit of power and run time...you can pick up a standard button anywhere Go engines are sold...if you cant find one pm me i have a few...

It's very, very high bite, like we have to run tires on concrete on purpose to wear them, or inside jobs, switches etc... So the 5-port it is

You can run the 5 port with an 053 pipe, 1.0 or 1.1 springs, and aluminum shoes at LH. Forget the Inside Jobs. Switch 2.0's or Losi Pink Tapers only.

yes the 5port will be your best engine for that type of track...

what are the lap times on the track??? if they are very fast like 20 sec or less i would try a 053 pipe...i feel very strongly that the 053 and 086 pipes are the very best power makers as far as pipes go...also i would maybe even go with 1.1 clutch springs and do a lil testing with a 13 and 12 tooth clutch bell gears...i think the 12 tooth may work for you if the track is as high bite as you say...this is the set up im running on my tight high bite track, and the exceleration out of the corners and up to the jumps is unreal...

Lap times? Billy Easton pulled an 18.3 second lap but that's a freak lap. The very very fastest guys are pulling 19.3-20's with 20's and 21's the norm.

Actually, a 12t bell would be a good choice if a good one existed. Last week a guy did run one on a GO .28 and did very well.

Edit: Losi does make a 12T bell. I'm gonna give it a try...

i run the vented racers edge 12T, and have not had any problems with stripping or breaking...

yea i also run a 12T on my 28 on this same small track with a 053 pipe, and it works very good for me...

oh and i almost forgot i also run a 7mm carb reducer on both engines...
