Definitely better than the Go 5 port, higher quality motor that get's better fuel mileage and has more power. I have a go 5 port as a backup backup and while the motor is good for the price the extech motors are in a different league.

Wouldn't a better comarison be the Trinity .24 vs. the Go .25 (or The Trinity .21 vs. the Go .21)? In either case, I suggest you go with the Trinity if you can spare the $$$.

the .21 race prep is on back order... Should i just order the .24 race prep(both 249)? Now these have been broke in so you can drop them in right??? And do you have to run 30%?
Or should i just wait for the race prep .21?

I got a Trinity Platinum A. Drake in a deal for a Truggy. The engine maybe has 12 tanks on it. I have no idea how to tune this engine. I'm not even sure what the base settings are. I took it out and ran it today it ran fine. I tuned it to be rich so not to mess it up. I didn't get more than to tanks through her before I discovered the front diff needs rebuilding. Brought it home took the head off and the piston is clean and shiny still. It gets stuck at TDC so I know it's a fresh engne. Just need some help and some suggestions. It sure sounds mean as hell.
that is a Picco motor.... run only Picco plugs.... they love the 086 tuned pipe, and they tend to go lean once they warm up.. so set intital settings rich and you will find once the motor fully warms up it will come into tune....never attempt to tune the motor before its fully heat soaked....Picco's are more sensitive to this then any other motor I have found......

Took advantage of some decent weather here in CT. Fired up my Ex Tech. I do have to work on my cold weather tuning skills, but all in all she ran well. Looking forward to the first indoor event next week @ RCX in MA 
Thx again Chad

I belive pipes will be available Jan 9th? I will have two Extech FM 21's with Bigboy pipes coming tomorrow to do some testing. I'll let ya'll know what's up. I am interested to see the feel of the FM's versus the two EB Extechs I had.

This is the version of the .24 i want right??? And the .24 is best in truggy with 086, not the .21???
