Ah the "you get what you pay for " argument...

Unfortunately that is not always true.

All too often the inexpensive engines may be manufactured in exactly the same plants as the more expensive ones.

So you may actually end up paying for the brand name, when you may believe you are getting more because of an increased price...

I'll stack the Turnigy against my DLE's any day... Even my "junk" XYZ has a nice CNC finish, Walboro carb, CNC aluminum piston, and trivial parts availability from both U.S. and Asian sources... though the Turnigy is better made from what I can see.

At the Toledo show I had no problems finding U.S. vendors there selling parts for the XYZ, RCGF's, etc.
