0.9mm tames down an engine, 1.1mm makes it more agresive and 1.0mm is in the midle if that helps.

yep, run 2 .09mm springs and 2 1.0 springs if you run a 4 shoe clutch

excellent thanks flanno.

Isn't. Go tech the name of this thread? Can you explain this more? How did the company change? Why still use the go name? What's A "go tech" and what's a" go" ? The company no longer exists? Who's building these engines?

okay then. Here's what I've got- coral colored 3 port rb modded,then orange head 7 port with a mg-66 crank,stock, orange 7 port stock,gxr 3port [going to racer22 for mod, gen 5 5port going to racer 22 for mod. All the engines have the go red badge carbs. They work and all engines are at almost same settings. Only a little touch here and there. Oh and of course 2 mg-66's I am really excited to have rex mod an engine for me. For some reason I love the 3 ports. On a small track I can run away from others,on a big track it runs out of legs.[not by much] But in the tech sections I can keep up or pass. I have had the new gxr series 5-7 ports but never drove them. Sold and made money. So I may be behind the times here but I found a system that works for me. So as far as the old go-tecs to me they are still very competitive at my level. In my very first race series I learned a valuable lesson from a pro= if you can't keep all 4 wheels on the ground you will always finish way back in the pack. #2 wheel spin equals lose of power, wasting fuel. They threw me in the intermediate class where I finished the series 8th over all. I only had one flame out. Thats when I learned the trick for seals using fuel tubing[thank you Grizz] and sealed every engine after cleaning before I ever fired them up.

Hi BigAlz - The name of the thread is incorrect, just what I was talking about earlier.
The company never changed, it is an entirely different company. Go-Tech ceased to exist some years ago (I can't tell you exactly when).
GO Engine Co (simply called GO by most) was formed in 2005. They manufacture the current GO GX Series engines we are talking about on here. Prior to the GX Series they produced a Pro Series motor in advancing models using the Generation system ie Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4 and so on as they brought new models out. The GX Series took over from the Pro Series last year, and for all intent and purposes is a Generation 5.5 with extra's.
GO are bringing out a new High Output motor in 2011 which will be the GXII, and this will be their Generation 6 model.

This is a test on the GO GX-5R motor, and it also gives you a run down on the company history, formation, who runs the show etc.

The Pro and the GX Series consist of three motors. A 3 Port version, a 5 Port version, and a 7 Port version - GX-3R, GX-5R, and GX-7R.

The MG66 motor you hear about is a motor designed by Mark DeBerardinis of Massive Mods Australia Ltd. This motor is made by the GO factory under licence for Massive Mods Australia. So it is a GO product, but it is not a GO motor, if that makes sense. Mark is also the international development and testing manager for GO, so hence the connection between the two companies.

I hope this blurb, and the associated link help to clear a few peoples minds about what is what with the GO products. Just remember, GO-Tech doesn't exist anymore, and has nothing to do with the GO brand of engines. Never has.
Cheers, Grizz.

so when people say the precirotate engines are go tech engines. they are wrong as they really built by the GO factory. NOT the go-tech company , because they are and have been gone? its odd that isnt the carb tunning conversation the same and for the GO and GO TECH products? i dont get why they would use the GO name.

they call them GO-TECH on here? werent they both distributed by race factor?

Can't answer that one I am sorry mate, you would have to contact GO Engine Co and ask them.
GO is a massive factory and foundary complex, and I believe they outsource a lot of motor components for other companies in Taiwan. I don't know the exact details but I am told that parts like crankcases, cranks etc on Alpha, JS, and Precirotate engines all originate from the GO factory.
The fact that Alpha was started up by a high ranking GO Engine Co employee when he resigned from GO Engine Co should tell you something. That's why the Alpha is based on the Gen 5 GO motor, which was the motor in current production at the time he resigned. It's a funny old business.
That's why I always say to my customers - why buy a copy when you can buy the original for the same price

Can't help you there either. I am in New Zealand, some 14,000 miles away from the USA, so I don't know any of the local business politics regarding the RC industry. Maybe someone state side can shed some light on that one for you. I get most of my insite from Massive Mods Australia, who is directly associated with the GO Engine Co, to the point of attending development and board meetings to discuss new products and designs, so I tend to take his word on these matters as gospel, as opposed to rumours you might pick up floating around the forums.
Get a hold of Trey (Runne on here), He is the new GO distributor for the USA, so I am sure he will be able to fill in the gaps I have left.

well i wasent basing it off any rumurs on the forum. i really dont know the back round of the companys. just alot of simularity.. and name sharing... people selling "go" motors and generically calling them go tech etc. how is a new company on a GEN 5 engine?

it is the SAME company just NO LONGER owned by the person who called it GO TECH!...now its just GO ENGINES!.....plain and simple.....ALL the parts for the GO TECH motors are still ordered through GO ENGINES...if that makes any sense.....anything with the GO name on it is STILL GO ENGINES

Mate, I never suggested you were basing anything on rumours. I'm just trying (unsuccessfully it would appear) to answer your questions. GO was formed in 2005, that's nearly 6 years ago, which gives you roughly one generation of progress per year. Hence 2011 (the 6th year of the company) will see the GXII Gen 6 motor. I reckon that's pretty straight forward - yes ??
People are calling them GO-Techs simply because they have it wrong.
Anyway, I'm done on this topic. I am getting tired of repeating myself over and over. They are a good motor, give one a try, you won't be disapointed.

Ehhhhh - WRONG !! Did you not read the link I posted deadmancourt. A new company started in 2005 making only RTR engines until Naga Racing came on board and they started to make race engines as well.
No mention of Mr Wang taking over the defunct GO-Tech company and producing race engines. How is that the same company ??? What are you guys smoking today
Phew, I'm outta here until normal transmission is resumed

FLANNO MATE - help me back to the land downunder bro.
