RE: weed eater engine
Weed eater engines arent that bad. And the clutches on all the higher quality ones are identical to the zenoahs. A modern husky, stihl or kawasaki weed eater the same size as a G230RC will make good, useable power. Sure it wont make as much as the zen, but you wont have to be reving the guts out of it to get a reasonable amount of torque to the wheels. Plus they are really reliable too!
