the jump coming out the hair pin is basically you have about a foot of run up before hitting it. the v-spec would land about a tire diameter further then the go-tech each time, on jump with the medium run up the go had about a tire diameter on the v-spec, and on the long run up the go had about a car length on the v-spec.
form a standing start the v-spec just seem to have more initial bite from the line as if from idle the v-spec spools up quicker to clutch engagement. Comming onto the straight its about the same but the go just winds up quicker and further the the v-spec, it would get to the v-specs max revs sooner and out revs it by a scary amount as well, the track was being changed at the time and the straight was alot longer then usual and most straights i've seen the v-spec was reving out at about 2/3 the length and the Go was peaking just about 4/5 the length.
tune wise? v-spec is just so simple can't be beat, ive had two and never had one stop during a race, i have to say the same for the Go so far but it just seems more fiddely to get the tune just right on the lsn. the hsn has not been a problem.
as for quality the v-spec looks better externally but the go-tech looks as good internally bearings i hope to be better then the v-spec. The Go-tech carb seems ordinary the v-specs is much smoother.
Which one would i chose. Well the other day (after my little research session) i was putting my buggy back together and had both motors just sitting there and i chose the v-spec and the main reason for that was i new i'ld have the v-spec tuned in no time and be learning the new track layout straight away, at this point in time i'm just not as confident with the GO tune wise though i've raced it a couple of times no problems at all.
As I thought you would say.
