 Long Tail Mods
Guys what kind of mods changes can you do to a Go Devil 20hp longtail to squeeze out more speed? Props, carbs, etc? I am not running in mud just grass and weeds.

 Re: Long Tail Mods
trade it in for a surface drive. a longtail is really not an efficient machine with the direct drive. i wouldnt out too much money into it.

 Re: Long Tail Mods
You guys that are doing the exhaust mods.. What are you doing? just straight piping them? or putting on some sort of BPS or something?
