I'll get you taken care of, Kevin.


Hey guys... just wanted to let everyone know that I'm starting the process of moving inventory to my family's logistics center in Anaheim, CA. What this means is FASTER shipping for you guys. Basically, I process an order and then email a packing slip california, they pack it up and ship same day. That is, assuming the order gets there before USPS.

This also allows for shorter transit time between customs in LAX and our inventory processing. It also frees up my time to work with dealers, customers, and of course... race.

Where can I find the best deal on these motors, I bought a used gx5r and I'm looking to get new motor and keep this one for backup. Looking for best pipe and motor combo.

Hi to everyone on RC TECH :
Have been watching this site in CAIRNS, NORTH QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA:
I run RC8B Buggy and RC8T Truggy; Have run GO Engines for 3 years now, and have just purchased 3x GX11 5HRO Engines. Have run seven tanks through the first engine before putting it on the track, (due to time factor before a race meeting
.Have to agree with all info above. These engines seem very resileant and hold their tune very well. Am running NITRO-X SSS 11% oil, 25% Nitro, 97T O'Donnell Plug, (use a 87T during inital break-in). Run at winter temp: Average 21 degrees C, 50% Humidity; Summer temps will average 32 degrees C, 86% Humidity. Currently in winter season, Will be interestig to see how the engine holds tune in summer:
Thanks to all on the thread: I have picked up heaps of great info from same, and the N.Z. GO website .Thanks again.
"There ain't nothing like the smell of NITRO in the morning"

Contact Trey ( ruune ), he'll find a place to get you a new mill.
You'll like this 5rho, it's a screamer! Alot of work went into these engines for the price!

Wow, now theres a guy that has Nova's and GO's in the one stable... whats that tell ya about GO Engines these days.

it must be tough finding a good tune in temps over 30C.
if the motor has good compression (piston sleeve fit)and you don't run too lean or hot the GXII should fine.
The GX head was great in summer temps,not as hot in auckland as up your way... wonder how the smaller GXII will be on a hot day.

Hey Snooks, great to hear your liking the GXII . It is a sweet motor.
Are you going down to the FEMCA Truggy Champs on the Sunshine Coast this August ? Be good to catch up with you, along with Flanno and co.

Would love to be there, but we have the annual Cairns Cup mid August, Sponsered by the Aussie Distributor of GO engines, Massive Mods, and I will be involved in the setting up and running of the event.
It is great to see the response I have recieved from people in other patrs of the world on this thread. I am 60 years old, a retired Automotive Mechanic,(28 years in the trade arena), and spent the last 16 years before retirement as a TAFE Automotive Teacher. The info I have gained from this thread is worth all the books and teachings I have ever taught: Just goes to show: you can teach an old dog new tricks!! RC engines are a "breed of their own". As memtioned in a respone from another member earlier, I do run NOVA ROSSI (BUGGY 4 Factory TUNED), but after running The new GX11, and finding it far easier to tune, I am about to run GO exclusively. The NOVA ROSSI has the run time advantage, but If you dont' put the buggy on it's lid, all fine.
Once again, thanks for the friendly response, it is a pleasure to be welcomed to the thread. Will keep in touch in the future, and If anybody ever has a chance to get to CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. Please feel free to look me up. WE do have a great track, just go to the Cairns, RC TECH thread site for some great photos we have posted on the site recently. Once again. thanks for the friendly replies: Greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback: I have 2 of the original 7port GOLD HEAD GO engine, still running, and one has never been touched!! You are spot on, As long as the engines aren't run tooo lean, and a moderate glow plug, all should be fine. The smooth linear delivery of the new GX11 really makes this an easy engine to live with. Thanks again for the input

My gx11-5rho is holding it's tune very well in this Texas heat hovering around 100f-102f. How about sending some rain our way!

dont forget the 85-90% humidity...

True... I just try to not think of that. But the go engines keep on going!

last sunday was haveing some major low end issues, would bogg really bad off 90deg corners and right before tripples and could not clear them, tried retuneing and only got worse. nothing i hate worse than having a car lap me..LOL, tore down today and found a broke (losi green clutch spring) was kinda surprised, dint act like a clutch problem at the time, idled without spinning tires is what made me think it was tune! i should have known it was not a GXII problem!!!!!

Was it a 4 shoe clutch? they usually have the coloured springs.
The weight and size of the shoes make it less noticable a spring has gone in a 4 shoe at idle, the GX II HO does not like an early clutch let alone a broken spring.

YEP, losi 4 shoe, and i know i am no newbie to the GO ENGINES, have been running then for 3 years now. and will for the next 3 years. i love the support and freindly people here. always willing to help!!!! not much help needed though running one of these bad boys!! unless you can control throttle for me..., some of the bes guys i know are on this thread and someday hope to meet a few and whoop 'um if i race with 'um!..., PROPS for the A++++ support GO ENGINES!!
