Just a heads up, I have a friend that tried some torco nitro I guess it's new to the nito rc scene? blew his engine, had 4 of the gallons were leaking when he got them.[ordered 2 cases] so far no customer service from torco. From what he was telling me I guess some others in his club also bought some,same problem-BOOOOOOM go's the engine. I remember when I raced moto x. torco was considered the low end premix. I liked belray. I guess I am getting old. I find something that works for me and usually stick to it. But I am switching to byrons gen2prodriver after running sidewinder. I'll see how it works out, if not back to sidewinder.

we have been running OD plugs in our engines for a while now and they are great, but if your using a OD plug in the 21's use the 97T not 77, 77 is for 1/10 motor's and also to hot imo, the 97T is med temp and is great in the GO's just my 2cent's

i've been running OS p3's almost the entire time and up until the last 2 race meets have been very happy, however its winter here and its been approx 16' celcius and i've found that the plugs haven't lasted or performed as well as they did.

i've now put in an RB-5 but have always wanted to try some OD's unfortunately there not really available over here so i might have to import some or run some OS p4's

i've run a Go plug once but couldn't really get a good feel for them as my Gen 4 carb was "cactus" and my engine couldn't hold a tune or stay running for more than 5 mins. and the fact that some A-hole felt it ok to take the other 2 plugs from my box stills "cracks" me today. lol

now thats my 2 cents worth (and then some lol)

Mike

p.s good luck to all my fellow Go users on your racing or bashing endeavours this weekend!

I have been using marks a main(original stuff) and have been very pleased with it, I use p3 and have got at least 3litres each plug.My 5 port mm5 has had about 12 lts in it now and still locks at tdc.
These motors from mark are fantastic.
When you got to go it has to be a GO

Hey everyone. I need a new engine for my 2.0 truggy and on a SUPER tight budget right now. I have the 3pt r in my buggy and the thing RIPS, I wanted to by anouther one for the truggy but cant right now.

So im looking between the .21 sport and .28 sport. I would like to run the .21 but if its going to be under powered I would rather go with the .28 Or I could buy a .21 sport put it in my buggy and put the .21 3r in the truggy.

Whats run types like on the .28?

Anyone have a .21 sport in stock?

Thanks For the help everyone!

Well I'd go with the .21 sport on the 2.0 or get the sport to the buggy and move the r-spec to the truggy which in my opinion would be optimum. The .28 3p is a bit of a fuel hog and the engine does not rev that high so you'd need to use 47 or 48 spur and 13t bell to get atleast some decent top.

Hi all, I have been running a Go EBM5 with an 0801 pipe for about 4 gallons now. I will say that it was too much motor for my 8ight, but in my 8ight-T 2.0 this motor is perfect.
The only problem I have is that my 0801 pipe stinger is bent and I need a replacement. I have been reading about the 2072 and the pics show the reinforced stinger which I think will help. Where can I buy this pipe in the US? I have looked and only see it for sale on the MassiveMods site. Thanks in advance.

hi jeremy,

have you tried heating the pipe up in the oven (180 celcius) and inserting a screw driver in the stinger and straightening it again? ive done this with the 0801 twice now and it has done the trick. ive also used this method to re-shape a bent header as well.

i know Amain sell Go products so try emailing them to see if/when they're getting the 2072's.

Mike

you can reinvorce your stinger on the 0801 pipe just use the metal mend and wrape it around the stinger works a treat

I''ll try heating it up and reshaping it, but the bend goes all the way to the end cap of the pipe. When it happened, the crash pushed the exhaust mount and bent it where the mount attaches. Now my mount is another 1/2" away and the pipe is currently closer to the fuel tank than I like. Thanks for the response.
