What are some of the best mods to do to a g290 in a baja 5t? Bashing / normal running..

Which one do I want? I noticed there are 2 cranks to choose from. Also there's a high rev kit and a high torque kit. Which one would be better .Get an esp 30.5 kit and an oilmat/vrc/bart pipe
Man that thing rips!! I subbed you. Nice 5t love the bodyThis is my stuffed esp championship ported 30.5 5T Engine I built from scratch . Still runs very strong!
Thanks rep that's what I plan to do. I have had a g320 and I liked them but always thought the 30.5 was a ripper. I had a rcmk 30.5 full.mod before and it was pretty nasty as wellIf I was you I'd get a complete kit with the top end and crank as they were matched... if you do a 30.5 you need a +2mm crank to get the 29.5 to a 30.5... I believe I understand it like this for +1mm of crank it moves the displacement a half a cc so + 2mm will take it to the 30.5.... learned that while working with the boat engines..... also I was told stuffed cranks really work better in a reed case engine like I have
A stock g290 is actually a 28.5 cc engine. +1 crank bumps it up to 29cc. +2 crank 30.5cc. Stuffed crank adds lowend power without sacrificing topend. How much? Not much but listen to my engine. It has explosive bottom end and revs out very well. Good luck finding an Eric Hill flowsytems pipe though. The pipe has an extremely wide powerband paired with this esp cylinder!If I was you I'd get a complete kit with the top end and crank as they were matched... if you do a 30.5 you need a +2mm crank to get the 29.5 to a 30.5...

I just bought esp high torque with the +2 crank 30.5Which one do I want? I noticed there are 2 cranks to choose from. Also there's a high rev kit and a high torque kit. Which one would be better .
That's what I'm gonna get because I think with the g320 esp kit I think I went with the high rpm kit instead of high torque and I think I lost bottom end bigtime. I want torque for sureI just bought esp high torque with the +2 crank 30.5

What are you using for clutch and do u run a lightened flywheelYea you definitely want the torq topend.
I use stock clutch with 8000 rpm spring. I wouldn’t mess with a lighted flywheel unless its cold where you run.What are you using for clutch and do u run a lightened flywheel
Nothing wrong with a lightened flywheel, I have one on my 5ive t and no cooling issues, the fins still do their job just fine. It does rev faster then the engine in the vekta but not enough to be worth the extra cost.I use stock clutch with 8000 rpm spring. I wouldn’t mess with a lighted flywheel unless its cold where you run.
Another thing I will add is I flip my clutches backwards. The pads seem to last longer and the clutch seems to grab a bit better.
