Post 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.

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.
