They're engines used to be good, now they make cheap stuff. It's you money, spend it how you like!
your starting to sound like fuelman!!
i agree to the point that the ax was a step backwards, 4 bolt head and a shorter stroke... more plastic, at least the remote needle is not part of the backplate
what we need is a good ringed 50ish for ~$100, the os50 has its problems, so do the china made super t's, i havent had a webra yet
there aren't to many perfect motors, saito and ys are great but i can get 3 or 4 "good enough" motors for the price of one of those,
i drool over the saitos at my LHS every time i go[&o], they dont have any ys...
