This is an old thread, but I'll throw an opinion at it for the hell of it
I've seen pictures of the internals of this engine, and it looks similar to a standard RTR .21. It's most likely a clone of an SH 3 port engine (Most engines these days are SH or at least SH based), but judging by the port layout it's an older design. The carb looks very similar to a standard big block SH carb, as does the crank. Go Engines is another company that makes cheap knockoffs of SH designs IIRC. For what they cost, I'd expect it to be a bit of a lottery as far as getting a good one that will last. Will it be as fast as a name brand engine or even an RTR such as HPI, most likely not. But for the price, it might be worth a shot to try one out.
