Maybe. Lol I like it when I bolt on a set of tires with 5 runs and they still shine like new. Trust me simple green em and place em in a ziplock. You will like the difference.

hey guys, just a heads-up... Go Engine USA will NOT be carrying the new go clothing line.

With the pricing structure the way they have it set up for shirts, the minimum we could offer T-shirts would be $35-$40 retail, and hats (which we have not seen) in the same ballpark. We do not feel that this is the proper price range for this commodity. Furthermore, we can get proper "american" sizes by working stateside with Dialed Inc, and Fastlane Graphics.

So, unless the pricing is more in-line with the previous shirts, and proper american sizing is available, we will not be carrying the Go Engine clothing line.

Good call!!!! I am 6'6" 280 so I need 2xl-3xl TALLLLLLLL!!! I use to love the plain white tee's I could get at JC penny. But they changed manufactures so I would need to be 5'4" 300lb's for the 2xl tall to fit me. The only shirts that I have bought that did not really shrink down were carharts and what ever a-main sells. And I will say [not promoting a-main] that a-mains shirts took a long time to shrink at all. I wouldn't mind getting the logo they show for the shirt and putting it on my size shirt.

Thanks for the support, guys. The distributor prices that I've been told are significantly higher than I charge dealers for the US hats and shirts. They're actually pretty close to retail. I dont think it's fair to charge customers $35-$40 for a T-shirt. Maybe a heavy hoodie ;) ...but not a standard T-shirt.

grizz1 06-29-2011 02:31 PM

Same here :nod:

With our exchange rate it's even worse. When I saw the invoice I scrapped the shirt order. Somebody might pay that much for a Gucci T-Shirt maybe, but guys wont pay that for a shirt that's going to live in the pits on race day most weeks :cool:

I got one for you and me Craig. Business is paying for those :) I never thought about Bazza. Doubt I will be doing another order before we head of to the FEMCA in August. Will see what I can organise. If Basil drinks plenty of bourbons between now and then, mine might be a perfect fit for him :D

OUCH :weird:

curacing2 06-30-2011 12:27 AM

I don't think his wife would like him to up size :lol: I'm so happy he's taking his 6T over now and not just going to pit for me, I hear they don't have barrel 51 in oz:eek:....you'll meet him in August flanno, good mate and great guy to go away racing with...he's originally from South Africa and an engineer so he's adapted to rc racing well.

Put aside a couple of the black GXII caps for us also Shane.

Iīm sure they will have a suitable substitue for the 51īs Craig. Just donīt drink that Bundeburg Rum, that stuff is like bloody Jet A1 fuel :eek:

Flanno 06-30-2011 01:03 PM
