If you are talking about buggy, no sticking with Losi but I now have a JS and looking to get another mill. I have thought long and hard about a GO but will have to wait and see. Another JS or the new OS could be an option too. I like lurking all over the place;)

Some Gen 5.5 rods had a G on them.

Thanks Rex. Never struck any of those in my orders down here.

Going on what Rex has said I would say so. Most likely out of a Pro Series Gen 5.5 (early to mid 09 ? ), which is a very good motor.

I have not seen a difference in piston and sleeve's from the 5.5 to the Gx. It is mostly coatings, updated carb and cooling head.

Speaking of the long and short low speed needles, we have these in-stock. I've been experimenting with one of my GX-5Rs, and I have to say I like the more linear powerband better. I'm thinking about ordering my next shipment (already have a large one on the way) with the longer needles, but would like to get some impressions from the guys that count... (YOU!!).

Couple of "pre" announcements:
We should have some Carb/LSN/HSN complete seal rebuild kits together (with pricing) in the next couple of weeks. A few of you have asked me about this, and I apologize about not getting back to you sooner.

We will be announcing a new partial sponsorship program within the next week. This will largely be managed by Team Manager/Factory Team Driver, Matt Sistrunk. In addition, Matt will be processing many of the orders from Lousiana. We are currently ironing out the logistics, but good things are happening.

Pricing- I have managed to negotiate a lower price from the factory. In turn, I'm relaying the savings on to you. Effective August 1st, 2010, I am reducing dealer and STREET price by $15USD on GX Engines and GX Engine Combos. This will remain in effect for as long as I can keep the negotiated price from the factory. Furthermore, I am eliminating mention of "MSRP," since I feel that this is misleading. There will be "dealer price" and "street price."

Many changes are taking place behind the scenes. For those of you that I havent responded to, let me apologize in advance. Also, the BEST place to contact me is at the company email address: [email protected]. I rarely check PMs on here.

well... its 2am (yet again)... time for sleep.

I just put a GX-5R in one of my SC8 trucks. It was originally built by 22racer(Rex) and bought from another local racer(BSchorr) with 2 gallons on it. All I can say is this motor screams!:nod:
