which 2 stroke is the best

i've got a skyhawk and my buddy has a raw, both 66cc. don;t waste your money on the raw. the skyhwak is miles ahead and well worth the extra $30. good luck

just to add to the confusion..lol...i have a raw and it runs great with approx 500 miles on it.....its luck of the draw on these engines....do a search on the topic and you will find alot of threads and opinons on this debate filled issue....but my next engine will be the pk 80 for my new project im just starting.

The "make" of the engine is pretty irrelevant, defo go with a reputable vendor regardless of the sticker on the side of their motors

I'm new to this like yourself, I'm on my first build but I've been reading the forum quite extensively and it does seem like a big part is the luck of the draw like macattie88 mentioned. If you do your research you'll find people say both good and bad things about every kit out there. I myself have the slant head PK80 (Powerking which is also known as Zoom). I must admit that I got it primarily for the price which was around the $140 mark including shipping. Like BarelyAwake said, do your research and go with a reputable vendor that will back you up in case you get a kit with missing or broken parts.

Many good venders! Go for price W/ shipping cost.
