Default Dont know what to buy

After an airfilter malfunction my Go 5 port got hungry and ate some dust ending its life at a club race this weekend. I have to admit I was a little heartbroken and couldnt bring myself to bin it. Instead i pulled it apart and oiled it before sitting in a draw never to be used again. I was like loosing a family pet I also have a MG66 and honestly think with a good tune the standard 5 port was as good. Now I have the chance to buy another motor
Do you think i should grab a MG66 or the new 5 port. I know this will start a bit of a debate, but I dont know what to put in my truggy. My new engine choice is in your hands

For truggy I would go with the GXII-5RHO. If for no other reason the lighter weight and newer technology. It does have supurb smooth power as an added bonus . I sell both motors, and at this time that would be my advise for a truggy motor.

Havent seen the kings heads' mount, but the GXII has standard .21-.28 mounting dimensions. If it works with other engines, it should work with ours.
