This week, I believe. I've been tracking one of the six airbills from Taiwan, and they're going through customs in Dallas today.

So those of you that have already ordered, the first shipment should go out by week's end, assuming customs doesnt get overzealous.


As for where to find them.. there are a number of people on here that are Go dealers. Also, check with your local hobby shop...I'll be happy to set them up as dealers!

Great.

I Know that Chris had some customers that wanted the Go Engine products, while Matt said that a few of his customers had inquired about them.

I will speek to Matt today just to see if he is still interested in being on board with Go Engine sales in his hobby store.

Thank You,

James

Good news guys... The GX motors should be shipping out tomorrow to dealers that preordered. I'm literally sold out of engines and will be ordering another 30-40, it looks like every 2 weeks. I've got rebuild kits, TONS of conrods, pins, g-clips, carbs, seals, etc.

The next order is going to include mostly GX-5R and GX-7R combos, with a few separate motors and separate pipes. The combo kit is BY FAR the best deal, in that you get the EFRA pipe w/ the motor for around $30 USD... give or take a few dollars. I'm also going to be ordering a few more cases, lots of screws, more complete cylinder kits, the works.

Depending on demand, I'm planning on ordering another 10 or so MG66 as well. The small number that I ordered, sold out faster than anything. I cant wait to get these (and more of them!) in.

your rite nothing but good comments ,i used mine in the state titles this year with no problems what so ever the motor has massive mounts of power when driven hard and yet is very smooth through low speed corners , by far the best motor i own , its hard to take out of buggy to put my other GO motors back in i use on club runs

very intrested in the new gx series....but curious as to why they come with an extra con-rod...I'm just a club racer and still learning at that...so I'm guessing the standard un-modded engine will do me just fine...

When breaking in a GO motor or any motor at that, it puts a lot of stress on the conrod and bushing in the con rod because of it being new and the tight pinch. So it's always good practice to change it after break in. It helps the motor stay in it's top running condition. To this point so far, GO is the only manufacture that I'm aware of that provides and additional con rod. Everybody else you have to buy it. One more reason why GO Engines stays ahead of the competition!
