I must say that these GO engines are superb value for money, what I don't understand is why the current GO factory has such a weird/nasty marketing mentality.
The two best GO Engine distributors we ever had in New Zealand and Australia, have been treated really badly by the new GO marketing regime.
I am just grateful I managed to buy all my GO engines and spares while they still had them in stock, as I will never purchase GO Engines from the new 'South Paciffic' distributors ever, out of principle.

Your lucky to have those mint GXII-5RHO and MG66 engines - both great examples of what was a very cool era in value for money engines down-under. The MG66 in particular was a simply stunning engine (thanks to Mark at Massive Mods).
Yes - a lot of water has gone under the bridge since those days, and we have now moved on to much bigger and brighter things with companies in the USA and Europe who treat the people that work hard to promte and distribute their products a whole lot better.
I'm not familiar with who is dealing GO in these parts now, but when the company started dealing "out the back door" and shafting their loyal and hard working distributors who were trying to keep products afloat despite a drop in manufacturing and desgin standards as well as suicidal marketing ploys - we just pulled the pin and moved on.
It was a pity, as they had a great market here in the South Pacific. Now (here in NZ anyway), the product is unheard of these days.
Enjoy those engines - you have a bit of .21 nitro history there
