Can't help you there either. I am in New Zealand, some 14,000 miles away from the USA, so I don't know any of the local business politics regarding the RC industry. Maybe someone state side can shed some light on that one for you. I get most of my insite from Massive Mods Australia, who is directly associated with the GO Engine Co, to the point of attending development and board meetings to discuss new products and designs, so I tend to take his word on these matters as gospel, as opposed to rumours you might pick up floating around the forums.
Get a hold of Trey (Runne on here), He is the new GO distributor for the USA, so I am sure he will be able to fill in the gaps I have left.
