It's the older 3 port. Right now we are focusing on the GX series in the US, and probably adding the MG66 to the lineup- depending on demand.

As far as advertizing and spreading the word.
I think t-shirts and hats with a bad arsed GO
Engines logo would be easier to see than a cooling
head flying by. Also a few "GO Girls USA" in any publisized
ads. I'm talking about some fine units. Not any of those
skank arsed looking trophy girls that they have at the
bigger races.

Whens this going to happen?Been waiting for months to get a new go engine. I don't think mark from massive will sell one to us here in the states. Been hearing of a web site for months,nothing. I think it's crap that Go Tech Inc won't let us buy from other countries[stock engines] I have had a chance to run a new werks b5 port. Nice engine parts are here for them. I think it's time for a change. Go Tec's were suppose to be reliable, long lasting and very affordable. What happened to that commitment? You would think the U.S. would be a gold mine for selling these engines. But since they are not here or we got put on the back burner,there go's the sales quota. I think Grizz had the great idea, put a pretty new Go head on my old 5.5's and have me a new go tec!

OOOOH! YEEEAAA!!! See, after a couple more
ice cream seasons, those "Slim Goodie" young
ladies are going to develop into geat looking
wemon.
I like the shirts and hats too. I think the
new GO logo, blown up huge, across the
front and back of a black t-shirt would
look killer. Maybe some realflames in the
backround would make the logo pop also.

I'm going to place an order, most likely today. Contact Rex or 69mustangbjs as soon as possible... they've been asking me about them. I'm going to do a an eval order (small) and see how they go.

Also, mark had a typo... the street price on the MG66 in the US will be $309.99, minimum. My cost on these are significantly higher than the other engines, plus I have a lot of shipping and import taxes to deal with, and I have to allow for a certain percentage for the retailer... otherwise they wont be inclined to carry them. As you will see with the competition, any higher end race motor will be significantly more expensive.

and yes, I'm evaluating candidates for USA "GO Girls"

You can't possibly think changes can be done in one day. Things are clearly changing for the U.S. with the new distributor, he has been giving us a bunch of updates and what not.


Or this
That's what I'm talking about!

Well I just thought that if Go engines was going to put out a promo deal, that the new USA Go importer would at least pass on a good deal. So the promo "deal "for USA customers was a waist of time for GO TECH as a company. I knew it was the older 3p but if the price was going to be right I thought I might give GO a try. But since you are focusing on the GX series and mm66 engines. I could see were A PROMO deal to US customers might be a waste of your time.

Have a good day and thank you

I think everyone needs to relax and give the new US distrubitor a chance to prove himself and the new products, once the new GX series makes it fully into the US i'm sure he will be able to offer something in the likes of a US promo package, like Ruune said if you have any questions about the products please feel free to contact Rex or myself.

I can see why you have a reason to be upset
phoenix357. But remember, alot of us put up
the way Russel ran GO U.S.A. for a couple years.
Shat, I've been waiting on piston pins to get to
the registered U.S. dealers since April. I wasn't
to happy to here from the GO dealers that they
had to lay out a five hundred dollar minimum order
to keep there standings as a dealer. I think that
the will to get things jumping sooner was slowed
by lack of funds.
Bigmatt, hang in there buddy. I went and
bought a Clocked JPX.21, AB Mods JX.21 and
an AB Mods P-9, since April. But thats no reason
to give up on our old work horses. Hell, I want
to have all the big guns in my arsonal and I don't
want them all to be the same. If it's not available
when you want or need it, buy something else.
