ALOT less money... The RB is not worth the extra $$ IMO... If any... You'll have a very minimal performance difference... And the power band on the GO's are awesome...

The GO's from what I hear are awesome, but I know from expirience the longevity is great on an RB, I've had them last 10+ gallons.

i have a modded 3port rb and its great but the price for a go tech is also great but don't know how many gallons you can get out of a go tech i asked that question on the go tech tread and never got a straight answer you know i would love someone that runs the go tech say hey i have 5 gallons or 6 or 7 you get the point.

RB all the way.The C6 is a VERY powerful motor that is easy to tune,runs very cool and lasts 4-ever. I haven't owned a GO-Tech yet,but I can't see it being more powerful or as reliable as the C6.

another vote for the Go Tech. I have about 1.5-2 gallons through mine. I have heard of Go Tech owners on other forums getting 8+ gallons out of their engines. I remember one guy said he had 10 gallons and his engine was still running strong. If you chose the Go Tech, you will be pleased with the performance.

well both my go techs (buggy+truggy) have seen a fair few gallons/litres now.... i would say the older of the two has over 15 litres through it... it still doesnt miss a beat and still has plenty of pinch... ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR PISTON IS AT BDC AFTER EVERY RUN!!!!im going to see if i can finish our champs without rebuilding it.... im fairly confident it will make it with ease....

i've seen an rb modded 7port, very fast indeed, but it would only last a month. RB all the way and you'll never look back. give it about a gallon and you will see it wake up and become crazy easy to tune.
