Default FS racing 30cc motor on hpi baja 5b

Hello all, im getting a used hpi baja 5b and it is coming with a new 30cc fs motor off a king kong. comes with the old blown up 23cc, ddm tuned pipe and turtle racing clutch system.
my question is

1 is the fs30cc a cy? i know its not a zenoah.
2 how well do they run?
3 can i put a head kit on it from ddm?
4 is it a 4 bolt head?
Thanks Steve

It's a CY clone I believe. They run fine and are pretty reliable and powerful. Can't say for sure about the head kit but you should be able to.

That's true, I forgot about the part that they're only 26cc and advertised as 30cc.

Still, I have an XRC on road and it's engine is still alive after many tanks.
