We've got a few new shops in the south, plus we are expanding to the west coast as we speak. I will try and post a new dealer list on our website this week.

For now, our online retailers are:

www.nitro-north.com
www.premierehobbies.com
www.vp-pro-usa.com

They are two different animals.

The MG66 has a different sleeve configuration to the GXII, plus a TiNi coated, lightened and balanced crank.
It uses the traditional GX style crankcase (with some subtle interior tweaks), plus a similar cooling head to the GX.

The GXII-5RHO has a completely different crankcase and low profile 9 fin cooling head. Traditional 5+2 sleeve with factory porting work (with additional piston cooling ports below the exhaust port - or at least that's what we think they are !!). It has a CNC modded, ramped and epoxy filled crank which is quite different to the MG66's.

We don't know the powerband of the GXII yet, but it is surmised it will perhaps have a little more bottom end than the MG. Whilst the MG is very smooth and powerful with insane top end.
So all in all they are pretty different going on what we currently know and have been told. Time will tell the full story.

Dave, I pulled your motor apart today for a nosey, first impressions are very good, its a step forward from the GX series which in their own right were a big step forward over the older motors.
Its very nicely finished, looks the part but of course the proof of the pudding is in the eating!
Im sure it will taste very nice ;-)

The MG66 is actually a 3+3 design (3 intake ports and 3 bypass ports). It has some porting work done, and a modified GX crank. Other than the LSN and perhaps the HSN, and the heatsink color (on the MG66X) it is a gen 5.5 GX-based engine.

The GXII series is the first true 6th generation engine. The GXII-5R is the next evolution of the go 5-port. Although it retains a similar 5+2 configuration, it has some modifications in how the transfer ports relay into the main ports. Additionally, I brought up the two ports in the back w/ Taiwan and they confirmed this is for cooling the back side of the piston. Additionally, the heat absorbtion should aid in vaporization of the methanol, promoting a better burn.

I see there is a new seller on ebay selling Go engines. Toymodel888. I had to laugh. Selling engines at near full price with 70.00 shipping,others dirt cheap with 160.00+ shipping. Maybe Trey could contact the factory and tell the guy the older engines were good just not that good.

where is he based out of? Seems a bit misleading, but ebay purchases from non-authorized dealers are a "buyer beware" type of thing as it is.

Hon-Kong?Taiwan? I know he is brand new on ebay as far as selling the Go line of engines. I like to check it out to see who is selling what. I want to list my old hotwheels from when I was a kid but the market seems low to say.

About 10 years ago I listed a package of over 175 hot wheels for a co-worker.
Some still the unopened box, some mint, some used. He got over 4K for em.

That crazy guy in Hong Kong or whatever offering Go engines where the shipping costs more than the engine is also on German ebay.. Too bad you can't throw a beer in somebody's face online...
