Yes you have to use the Losi collet. It is a different taper than most other companies use, the collet that comes with the Go is what most other motors come with. The older Losi flywheels had the wrong taper in them for the collet and sometimes came loose after time. The older ones are the real narrow flywheel.

Guys,
Im not trying to bother you, but on the southamerican championship all
its based on IFMAR rulebook, this race will be from April 17th to 20th
in Caracas-Venezuela this year, and im seriously thining on giving a 7
port Go Tech engine a try on that event (specially considering that the
track its technical on the inside but with a long 225feets long back
straight).
That way, the pipe i use must be EFRA allowed (not by the LAST changes,
but EFRA approved until end of 2007).
So, any help ?
thanks,
Pato Concha

Ok, i need some expert advice on my Go .21 5p
I got it last spring, and ran it the whole summer and didnt have any problems, it ran good.
So, now i got new bearings for it, a turbo head button, OS P3 plugs and Sidewinder 20% fuel, i just had it outside on the street to try out my new truggy and i couldent get it to idle down as it should, after each wot run the engine would rev really high for a while, and slowly settle down to a normal idle, temps where pretty low, around 150F, so i tried to lean the hsn and the idle got even higher but temps didnt really go up, the highest temp i got was 175F.
So, what do i do ? what are the " stock " settings on the carb so that i can " start over "

Nitroluver that is why you should never use another engines internals in your engine or use go engine internals in other engines, it may look like it works but the tolerances could be way off.

I cant see how it could be too lean ? the max temp i managed to get was 175F as soon as i tried to richen the hsn, it would not run good at all, it got way too rich. And about the shiming, i was told when i got it it was shimmed for 20% it has two shims, but i guess the newer engines comes with 3 ??
And i did seal the carb at the " famous " spot, just where the aluminum part where the hsn is meets the plastic part of the carb ( dont know any other way to explain it
)

)I had a similar tuning problem some time back. This combination of to bigger idle gap and rich LSN also caused my engine to get hotter and hotter as it went through a tank. Since resetting as above, everything is running sweet as
Worth a look IMO

I have a go 5 port turbo and I am putting it on Losi 8t.
My question is on the clutch setup. I used the collet that
came with the go and the clutch bell will not spin after
I tighten the screw all the way down. I have shimmed multiple different
ways and still no movement. Should I use Losi collet or am
I doing something wrong.
