Have you Canada fellas heard about the new indoor rc/mx track in Port Huron? There's a thread at rcextreme. Maybe see you guys there some time or at Al's.

How far away from Sarnia is the track in that video? Or would going thru Detroit be a faster way to get there?

Flush as in - having the top of the adjusting screw at the same level as the top of the brass tube the adjusting screw sits in.

Nice work The 7 Port sounds nasty

Hey hey Jbrow

been to Als track been to Dirt Burners been to freedom hill been to freelin mx been to Larrys in the 1000's of times been to the motorama race at the Novi expo been to the TCS races been to cleveland been to the Gate been to the woodville mall lol

heard about the track in Port Huron yes plan on going Yes!

Our track at Action is 30 minutes from the Detroit/Windsor bridge!

See you soon again lol!

Oh ya and the 7-port turbo is stock!

That doesn't surprise me. I reckon the 7 Port is the "sleeper" in the Go range.
I have been running stock 7 Port Turbo in my buggy for a while and it's a very powerful and smooth motor. Ran 053 pipe initially and that gave a very linear response. Have recently been using the 0801 and it lifted the bottom end quite a bit, although it does not rev out quite as much at the top I don't think. Overall the 053 (and possibly the 2047) might be better suited. Yours certainly rocks with the 053 pipe
Just popped a new tweaked sleeve into mine, so I am picking it will be even more crisp and responsive now

i tried my friends pipe the nova 9886 top-end pipe,& i was so impress after all,i have been tried the os 2050 ,trr2035,ofna 053,but damn this pipe is a rocket ,i dont have problem anymore on the bottom-end its better than the ttr2035, i noticed that the 3R can breath better this time w/ this 9886 pipe ,so i guess i dont need to change my gearing cause im currently using the stock setup for my rc8t 14 cb/54th spur gear ,i m currently racing on a medium track ders a 140ft straight way , i will be racing this saturday n i need to see if my runtime will suffer...............

Hmm - something about those 086 pipes The Dynamite 086 is wicked on the 5 Port, and I have read on here that the same pipe works a treat on the 3R, as you have discovered.

yes ive been running 9886 pipe on my 3r and man i love it im going to try 0801 too and see what else can do with it

new racer. should i just get the 21 3 port standard. and just use that to learn to drive with? im not looking for something bawls out for the first motor. and with this still go with the 0801?

what im looking for
cheap
long lasting
nice power but not uncontrollable
newb friendly
so im thinkin the 3port

If your going racing I would go with the 3 Port RSpec. This motor with the 0801 pipe would take you from beginer through to being competitive at most levels. At first you cab run it a tad rich to take a little power out of it and maybe use a softer clutch set up (say 1 mm springs and maybe even carbon shoes) to make it docile out of the corners etc. Then change tune and clutch as you get used to it (race tune and 1.1 mm springs with all alloy shoes).
I am assuming you are racing a buggy not truggy ? Cheers

yessir mbx5r. i'm picking a 2 rollers and enough parts to build another with a chrome top for 650.

so spec r motor would be the better route. thanks

Good deal I favour the 7 Port in a buggy, but the 3 RSpec is a sweet motor, and I believe a little more linear in performance then the 7 Port, so a little easier to drive initially. Go 3 Port RSpec and 0801 pipe, you won't look back

Hey Will, have you seen the new VP Pro "Wide" buggy tyres ?
Come in a set of four with standard fronts and new wider rears on new style rims. Available in 802 and 804 models. Got a set of 802's to try out this weekend. Even if they don't perform they certainly look cool (sort of like mini truggy tyres)

those may be something i'd throw on the wanna be sc8 im thinking of building out of 5r parts
