Thanks guys... mike terry is working with premiere hobbies online, Mikes hobby shop in Porter (houston), and a couple of others in Alabama at the moment. It's like a turbine winding up.

GXII update- as frustrating as it is on our part (distributors, dealers, and customers), they decided to do one more revision to the crank, so we should be seeing samples, announcements, and official photos in the next couple of weeks. Assuming that we're pleased with the final prototype design, I'll be taking preorders from dealers and team guys. In addition to preorders, I'm placing an initial order for somewhere between 50 and 100 GXIIs, plus parts.

hold on to your shorts!

Default GO Engines goes 1,2,3 at the Warehouse with a stacked field!

Ryan and I had a good race but he ended up with the win at The Warehouse. Ryan Lopez looks great with the Losi and is super fast. It's always great to get to run with him as it pushes me and helps prepare for situations that will come at larger events.

My Serpent is the White Car with the JC Punisher body that starts in third. We had a super fast field on this night!

1. Ryan Lopez- Go 5 port
2. Alan Burton- Go 5 port
3. Blake Boggs- Go 5 port

Congrats Ryan!

Maybe I should be looking at a 5p instead of 7p for my buggy. Hey where's the dirt in that vid? JK I'm used to sand tracks up here.

I have been breaking in my gxr-3port.I have almost 1/2 gallon through it and I swear it dropped it's nuts. isn't this a little soon? I did the idle-1/4 throttle 3 tanks,1/4-1/2 blips next 3 tanks. was out running it again this afternoon and after 2 more tanks of up to 1/2 throttle blips it just started hauling ass. I cannot turn engine over by hand, trying to turn flywheel with finger. so should I leave the break in shim in? or take out? I also needed to lean the lsn,and hsn. so it would run. it was getting way to much fuel. my tank times went from 22-24 min down to 12-14 min. I,m use to the gen5/5.5 engines where at 1 gallon you were praying you didn't fry the starter box. One last bit,I kept foil around the head/heated with heat gun temps 240/260, dropped to 220/230ish range.then dropped down to 200/210. So I need some one with alot of knowledge on the gxr series to let me know. grizz/gizmatron/racer22/ruune.

I'm using a gen 5.5 7 port in my buggy that on the bigger tracks is fantastic,not bad on smaller either just need to tune clutch,pipe/gearing. I had racer22[rex welch mod one of my 5.5 7 ports that I have yet to run. If what he did to my gxr3port is any indication I would imagine it will be very fast and powerful. If I had to have 1 engine to run depending on track size and how deep the sand was I would go with the 7 port. spend the extra money and have it modded you will not be disappointed. From what I'm seeing out of my gxr3port,I don't think it will be coming out any time soon.

if you still cant turn it over by hand, it still has another nut to drop. It'll get even faster.

Right now, you can go to nitro-north.com and order parts, also PM your hobby shop's info to matrixmike on this thread and he will call them.
