Losi doesnt make any engines in fact. They get all of thier engines from other companies.

This is my 3rd Go engine, I have the 5 port and the 7 port motors already.
Tony, I didn't know you were Go guy. I thought it was all RB fpr you? LOL

Yes use the losi collet, you may need the thick washer as well, get the flywheel collet for the xxx nt it has the correct collet and washer.

Yes, I run Losi's and you need to use the Losi collet or a .12 size collet. I have to run a washer between the engine and collet also.

Colin, I've ran the Go .21 in my truggy for a long time, then it dumped on me, and I had a hard time getting it tuned in, so when Russell and I went to the Silverstate, I got a .25 from him to run at the Silverstate, but never got it broke in in time, it's in my other truggy that my son is racing at the truck nats in a couple of weeks, maybe I get get it ready for him to run.

I will be running Go engines this year and I have a couple of questions. Which heads fit these engines? Add the extra shim for break in? Do they still need to be sealed up like the old ones?

Thanks,

Colin

Hi Colin, Not sure on the heads, but I am sure one of the tech wizards on this thread will be able to help you there.
Use the break in shim for sure - especially on the 5 and 7 Ports. I believe the new 3 Port Race is not quite as tight. I have broken in two 5 Ports and the shim makes it sooooo much easier to start and initially tune. Leave the shim in for around 20 tanks or so. You will feel when the motor loosens up some.
Doesn't hurt to seal the motors up. Back plate, pinch bolt ends and around the carb neck

any Nova/RB head will fit.
The new heads from GO look pretty sweet. i was never a big fan of the GO logo with the tire. The new logo looks great.

to see the new heads go to www.go-engine.com

You can shave a little bit off the thick end of the collet until you get the desired spacing.

Hey it's me with .25 6port. I got through two tanks of break through but I couldn't find an idle. Had to mess with the needles just to get a good temp. I know every mill is different no matter what manufacture. The needles are a rough estimate in settings. When I finish my break in what is the highest temp I should see (on the box still)? Thanks for the input.
