Do they work???? Simple answer is no. At the Euros last week 2 highly respected UK drivers were running the BZM engines in the Losi 5ive buggy conversion and to say they had issues would be putting it mildly.
Terrible over heating was the first problem and bear in mind they practice heats were only 8 minutes long. After attacking them with a dremel to remove more than half of the carbon cover they were still pants, they ended up putting a standard 26cc zenoah in one buggy and an Evo tuned 26cc zenoah in the other, at last, they worked well - to be honest I thought the buggy looked very good and with a decent engine, they were quite quick too.
BZM look fancy but if the haven't got the chuff to do the job - they become a £650 paper weight. If you're going for a race engine anywhere in the world, go for one that the racers use, they will serve you far better.
