Which GO engine is close or pretty much the same as a JPX? and how much does it cost? he really wants ninja like power are there any GO's that are affordable and reliable like them? if so we will buy one Thanks.

Yes Go does offer a engine comparable to the ninja. The new EB M5 that will be released later his month. check it out http://ebmods.com/

rc racer a standard go 5 port would probably be everything you are looking for. they also seem to suit the losi buggies very well

Go is coming out with coated cranks soon.

Sounds great I will go with the GO 5 port turbo head. is there a certain turbo plub that the 5 port likes better than others? I know on my JPX I only use one ofna plug Thanks.

i think he was saying he runs a Jammin JPX and was looking into a ninja JX, but likes the idea of a GO... yes the standard 5 port would be equivalent to a engine like the Ofna JPX... But as far as the ninja JX, the GO equivalence would be the EB M5. confusing jpx, jx lol

I would have to disagree with you on that Jo the standard Go 5port turbo is a pretty good match for the JX ninja but if you really want to leave it for dead the EB M5 or the MM G66 would be the choice for me
