It's funny you mention that dynamite 086 pipe. I have been using that on all my go-tec's and mg-66. It made the bottom of the mg really come alive, while keeping that never ending top end. I also get fantastic run times. 12-14 minutes depending on track size.

I have,still almost new. Worked great on my gen5 5port stock,then on an rb modded gen 5 5port. I was running that set up in my jammin x-2. Then got the x-ray 808 010 and run either mg-66 or modded 3 port also by rb. I am not that good of a driver yet,so the power of the combo was to much for me to handle in the 808. The jp-4 really made my axial 28rr a monster with fantastic mileage. It compares imo to the go-tec 2072 but with more bottom and mid. But I still like the dynamite 086 best out of all of them. But if you need to be legal then jp-4 and the go-tec 2072. For club it's always 086.

Hi Matt, Yeah I didn't mention the MG66 in that previous post as he was talkiing about the GX Series, and I had the feeling he already had a GX-5R.

Not trying to knit pick, and I don't want to upset anyonel, but I gotta mention the Go-Tech thing.
Go-Tech as a company no longer exists. The original Go-Tech motors of some years ago have nothing to do with the current motors we are talking about now from the GO Engine Co - commonly known as GO. Different kettle of fish all together.
Just a little point, but I feel an important one, as the original Go-Tech motors were not that crash hot, and a lot of people out there still relate the bad name Go-Tech had with the GO motors being sold today. This is a lot of the reason for people bashing GO motors on here and other forums. They are simply mis-informed and don't realise it.
Arghh - got that of my chest now

Thanks, so what clutch springs do people use on the 5 port for use in Buggy. I currently run 1.0mm springs with carbon shoes. Do I need to go to 1.1mm or .09mm to tame the bottom end. I don't really understand the clutch stuff.

cheers

to calm down low end use softer springs, they will engage sooner instead of reving engine and takeing off like a rocket when they grab....lol.
