just received notice second box was delivered.

We've GXIIs and GXII parts IN STOCK now! We still have GX3R and GX7Rs, plus GX parts. GX-5R are on reorder right now, but for your 5-port fix... GXII-5R is the way to go.

Guys, I cant even begin to tell you how pleased I am with the outcome of the last 2 years of design. Easier break-in, stronger/harder materials, linear power (and more of it), lighter weight, etc. The crank is harder, piston is harder, throttle slide is smoother.

oh... and here's the new crank (in packaging):

Matt - Thoughts are with you mate. These times are never easy.

Trey - I bet your on a high now !! I can also sympathize with you, as I know how crazy it's going to be over the next few days for you - but it's a satisfying crazy when it all finally comes together

Looking at those pics of the motor with the new packaging, and the quality of the motor and parts, you would have to say the new GXII is one of the hottest products on the RC market at present. I think GO have really hit the spot with this one.
I know all you Stateside guys have been waiting, so now enjoy. I am guessing it will be a busy weekend for a lot of people
Will be keen to hear peoples first impressions after a few tanks

hm yeah... prob no sleep tonight. I'm boxing up and shipping out the preorders. I'm also dropping the ceramic bearings into the box, and installing the rubber boots.

Some of you may notice that an extra conrod is not included. We opted to do it this way, since these are not nearly as tight from the get-go, and break in is much much simpler.

This engine is our first of the "new" Go stuff that is completely redone from scratch. The only parts that are shared with previous generatons are the seals, bearing dimensions, most of the screws, GX-style conrod, and the carburetor body. We do have an all-new 3-needle in the works, but with the latest refinements to the 2-needle design, we may offer the 3-needle as an option. Still undecided. This is mainly because the new LSN, throttle slide coating, and changes in machining have yielded a carburetor that performs on-par with many 3 needle carbs... yet they get better mileage. I have literally had team guys run other manufacturers' carbs and reluctantly put our new one on. The results were performance that is consistent with their "old reliables," yet mileage improved. I'm not going to post any numbers here, but you guys will see these things firsthand, very shortly.

Before you ask, parts for these are IN STOCK. The only parts we do not have are the throttle slide and the longer head bolts. We are carrying the complete GXII carburetor, and the proper 3.5x18mm bolts can be secured just about anywhere.

And yes... we have a ton of the new LSN in stock. You can tell the production GXII LSN by its apperance- stainless steel.

more eye candy:
First shipment (more coming!)


PARTS!!! (also more coming!)

It's like Christmas at Trey's place!! All that's missing is the tree

Another three motors dissapeared off the shelf here today before lunch time, with the possibilty of another two or three more heading off in the next couple of days. Seems the word is well and truly out about these babies.
I thought I had enough motors and pipes to last me a couple of months easy, now I'm sweating on another order a week to the day after the first lot arrived Not complaining though - the GO train rolls on
