I've got one, sloppy casts, dents and scratches, and typically very low end parts common with "house brands" (and they're 66cc if ya didn't already know)

Get a Grubee, they're pretty much the same price yet better carb and other goodies. The casting is much nicer too


FYI, it seems that A: the ugliest motors are the ones chosen for paint and B: the paint jobs themselves are hurried and sloppy... So my advice is to get a unpainted Grubee and paint it yourself, taking your time to apply light coats with a quality engine paint.

You'll end up with a much nicer job than the drippy gooberpile I got in the mail lol


Yet if you already have one - fret not, it seems to be running fine (after about 300mi lol) I just need replace the carb. I could just rejet the one I have, but I figured why bother when there's much nicer ones with an actual fuel/air mix screw for a whopping $50

They do seem "decent" enough, provided of course you can get one for significantly less than the more reputable Skyhawks. I've been running my 'Black Stallion' for a lil over four hundred miles now.

It's true that these are all chinagirls, that indeed the components aren't of the highest quality (I think "snork" goes here?), but it's also true that some are significantly better than others.

IF yer on a shoestring budget and you can find a 'Black Stallion' kit for significantly less than a Grubee, if it's the difference between having or not having an MB - then certainly you should go for it!

Having now purchased both (for the same price blarg-oops) all I can say is if you want the most for your pennies - get the Skyhawk, it's a night and day difference. If yer interested in shaving a few dollars off the build...

Be warned you'll prolly just end up spending the difference replacing some components anyway
