Did a search, anyone know if its ABC, is it a modded Webra or just the crankcase with West parts inside.
Any known problems.
Thanks

Runs like an absolute bear and is not at all fiddly to setup, start, or run. The odd example seems to have had early running rod problems, mine included, but the repair and return service was top notch. Most have no issues whatsoever and I would not worry about it.
One negative with the motor is that it is side exhaust. With all that well-mannered power, it is a shame about the plumbing in the breeze. But somehow it seems to move along just fine anyway. I used 9-6, 8-8, 8-9 APC sport props at first [in a Magnum R] then moved to clipped 8.8" APC pylon props - I am currently messing with 8.8-8.5, 8.8-8.75, and 8.8-9 trimmed to 8.1 - 8.2", and hand launches are still fine (nothing like outrageous excess power) and top speed is smokin'.
If you're not running a Jett you'd be doing alright with one of these.
