yeah we should have them stateside around march 1st. I'm told we're waiting until chinese new year is over, and then it's on. They dont want to launch a new product right before the holiday that most of Taiwan shuts down for most of the month of feb, while orders build up (again).

just a quick update fellas about my Go's, ran a trophy race yesterday with my GX5 powered Losi's and i was getting between 10:05 to 10:45 on fuel with a 6.5mm restrictor and i was pulling away from the "big named" power plants on the strights, got about 2 gallons on these mills and they are starting to come to life hard core. tune is holding soild through out the race day i think the most i moved my needles were 1/4 to 1/2 all day:nod:

I just got a new .21 7port, in a trade.. Any special break-in instructions? what's the best plug to use with 30%, and a good pipe to run with one? Used on an oval, in a Losi L8ight.. Thanks

Preheat the engine prior to starting it. Use the o'donnell 97t glow plug if it has a turbo head button. Break it in as per the instructions on the go engine website. For a 7 port use the dynamite 086 tuned pipe. It takes quite a while to break these engines in, be patient.

Is IT A GXR? OR A orange head generation 5 engine? Like the other gent stated pre heat!!!! for at least first gallon. I like os-p3 plug myself,if turbo and byrons 30%. also the 086 pipe mentioned is fantastic with that engine. If you have the gen 5 engine figure 2 gallons to break in,gxr 1 gallon. For where I'm at in northern ca. I set my needles as follows; lsn-1 turn in from flush,hsn1/2 turn in from flush. I usually take engine apart and clean, then lube,reseal with red atv sealant,start breaking it in!

no its the older gen. motor....but still will be a screamer!....just make sure you ALWAYS PREHEAT the motor till about the 2 gal mark..as BIGMATT suggusted....cause the older gen motors have a ton of metal pinch when they are new
