The 086 is different to the 2047

I prefer the 086 personally . The 2047 makes more HP up top and is better for high speed runs. The 086 is a nice all rounder , but you can change that with longer or shorter headers.

Personally the 0801 and 2072 rock my world the most

Massive, do you have any insight / comments on the new Go turbo plugs? have you had a chance to run them yet?

The Losi clutch is very good when setup properly.

has any one had this happen to them? one of the cooling rings in the center of the cooling head broke off. whats strange about it is it broke off perfectly round. all around the head in one exact piece. I will post a pic later. it broke away from the cylinder head completely around and is still sitting there. there are no nic's on the outside of the cooling fin where I thought some thing hit it causing it to break.

We broke a head fin like you said, the body was too tight around the head. On other brand motors I've broke the top fin off but never on a Go.
