Don't confuse this with my other thread this is a reedcase kit from AreaRC. Engine is from Rofun. "If you were to part this out it would be $60 to $80 more expensive but its worth it".
Arearc kit was surprisingly more high quality then I thought with name brand bearings and seals I thought these would have needed replacement. Even came with a clutch carrier which wasn't advertised with the kit. Bought from Aliexpress for $200. I wish I could say the same for the Rofun engine. It was lower quality then I thought. I know the scratches on the cylinder and piston is no big deal however I would have liked it to be perfect. I guess it'll do. "Buy Rovan kits instead they are higher quality".
Had to fill the inlet port with JB weld. Will do a running video soon. Seems like it has decent compression but I suspect it would be better with a higher quality cylinder. Added Velocity stack and Copper gasket. All for $350.
